[Vim-latex-devel] [Contact] vim-latex on mac, a problem in previewer setting

[Shingo A. <vim...@so...>]

Hello,



I use vim-latex in mac os x, and today I update from 1.5 to 20040805.

Then 
¥ll won't work in my box.



The way ¥ll works has been changed, and viewer rules 
g:Tex_ViewRule_{pdf,ps,dvi}  too.

Now, ftplugin/texrc 
says

g:Tex_ViewRule_pdf takes Application commands 

to open pdf/dvi files (no 
'open' needed) , 

and if leave blank, the system picks the default app(ex. 
preview.app).



Tex_ViewLaTeX() implements as above.



                if 
strlen(s:viewer)

                        let s:viewer = '-a '.s:viewer

                endif

                let execString = 'open 
'.s:viewer.' $*.'.s:target



but if leave g:Tex_ViewRule_pdf blank,

when 
open a .tex file I get an error from Tex_SetTeXCompilerTarget() like this



No View 
rule defined for target pdf

Please specify a rule in 
$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/tex/texrc.

:help Tex_ViewRule_format for more 
information



so, I made this patch (rather ad-hoc).
