On rare occasions it is advisable to modify a file in a folder whose contents you can edit. The next time TeXShop runs, it will rewrite that folder using default values. If you think a folder is out of date, you can throw it away or move it to the desktop.

But Engines/Inactive is a collection of alternate engines, and that folder is completely rewritten each time you update TeXShop so it contains the very latest versions of these unused engines. Users can edit typesetting engines, so ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines is not modified. Because users will modify the contents of most folders, TeXShop does not rewrite them during updates. Recall that ~/Library/TeXShop stores user configuration files: templates, typesetting engines, macros, etc. The default value is 250 and any choice above that is asking for trouble One user complained, so there is now a hidden preference: defaults write TeXShop GlassMaxMagnification 300

To fix a memory issue, TeXShop 5 refuses to open the magnifying glass if the pdf file has a magnification level above 250. If the user issued a 'select All' command and then cancelled it by clicking in a source line, the selectAll coloring was cancelled in the visible region, but scrolling revealed traces of it in other text.

The code to color the input line in the source window had a minor bug. When you have time, open this folder and follow the instructions inside. As before, after installation go to ~/Library/TeXShop/New and copy the Demo folder to your home directory or another place you store TeX source files. That is the main reason that TeXShop 5.02 has been released. The demo source and support document have been revised to reflect this discovery. In the new method, the interactive pieces of the document, which are written in html, can be written directly in the source code for TeX4ht, and the resulting web page can be read linearly with interactive elements following other text in the main document.

Within days of releasing the program, I discovered a much better way to create these documents.

TeXShop 5.01 came with a demo source file and support document explaining how to create web projects with interactive elements using TeXShop 5 and TeX4ht. I don't know if the extra code is necessary because I cannot reproduce the bug, but it cannot hurt. My routine had extra code to insure that the routines were called in pairs, but the final unhide was not protected in the same way. XCode can search the complete TeXShop code base the search revealed that these cursor routines are only called in TeXShop during the operation of the magnifying glass. It is, of course, important that calls to these routines be paired up so the cursor is not left hidden at the end. The Cocoa APIs contain a class named NSCursor which has two relevant commands: and. One user complained that the cursor occasionally vanishes and TeXShop must be restarted to get it back. So if you selected an extension, you got the previous extension in the list. This menu was out of sync by one element after the first four items. A pulldown menu in the Save Dialog allows users to change the extension of the saved file. I do not expect further TeXShop updates for a couple of months, fingers crossed. Now that the program is stable, it is time to bring everyone up to date.

Two larger problems were reported and fixed the same way. I made corrections on my web page without changing the version number, so if you downloaded early, you might have small flaws and if you downloaded later, you don't. After the release of version 5.02, a few small problems emerged, particularly in the demo program.
