[OS X TeX] TeXShop 3.82 [useTabs]

[Richard M. Koch]

Murray,

The "useTabs" feature assumes that there will be only top level "include" statements in the root file,
and that none of these will list further include files. Thus this new feature is not appropriate
for your project.

I know it may be difficult or impossible, but if possible I'd really appreciate a copy of your project.

The first thing you mention is the two preference items.  But I would guess that if you remove
"useTabs" then your project would work fine with them off. If this is not the case, I'd appreciate details.
