[OS X TeX] Tabs in TS

[G. M.-S.]

Hi Roussanka,

Yes, you are right:  Preview will not "obey" (1) for any file in ~/Library
(and I had never noticed it).

Here is a workaround:

File > Move To…

plus a click will give you the full path of the file, in a less convenient
way (and you have to be careful not to move it actually).

Again, HTH,

Guillermo
