5 DVI and PDF Auto–Update does not work - same as ID: 3488658 - ID: 3560428
Last Update: Settings changed ( hofman )

I have the same problem as mentioned in the now closed report "DVI and PDF Auto–Update does not work - ID: 3488658" (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3488658&group_id=192583&atid=941981)

Original post:
I am generating DVI and PDF files with LaTeX, which I then view in Skim V 1.3.19 (70) on Os X V 10.6.8. I updated Skim yesterday (I guess from 1.3.18). Auto–update of DVI and PDF files is not working since.

What I did:
Delete and install latest version of Skim.

My system:
Mountain Lion, TextMate, Skim (all updated)

I also think it has to do with either Skim or TextMate + Skim. If I change the PDF viewer in TextMate to Preview or else, changes in the LaTeX document are immediately present in the PDF. When I switch back to Skim, the PDF is not updated or updated after countless attempts.

Well, that works exactly as expected.

I guess I found the solution but would be happy if someone could clarify
that there is no disadvantage to this approach:

1) Skim > Preferences > Sync: "Check for file changes" must be active
2) After compiling in TextMate > Skim/OSX asks me how I want to proceed >
select "auto"

I never used this option before. All used to work without issues before.
Still no idea what caused the trouble.

I've tried the same with Skim 1.3.20. The issue is still present. Other
than updating from Lion to Mountain Lion, I did not change anything the
last couple of weeks.
