TS and phantom Find window

I noticed that TS has inched closer to resolving the problem of the phantom Find window. 

With the OgreKit, say you search for some string that produces results in a new window just below the Find
window, with the name "Find results for...". If you dismiss the upper window ("Find"),  both Find window
close. Now apple-click on the dock to any other application to bring it in the foreground while hiding TS,
then get back to TS, you will find that both Find windows are still there and that the dismiss button of the
top window is unresponsive. That's the phantom Find. 

If you dismiss the lower window ("Find Results for ...") instead, both Find windows close and remain closed
when you go back and forth between TS and other applications. No phantom in this case.  

Some additional experimentation shows that the phantom problem is caused by interaction with the Hide
Others feature of the OS, which I use a lot. If you don't Hide Others after closing the top Find window and
moving to another app, there is no phantom.

MacTeX Wiki: Help needed, or shut down.

The TeX on Mac Wiki, http://mactex-wiki.tug.org, will be shut down in four weeks if volunteers are not
identified to replace the current team. 

1) The SysAdmin is stepping down. We need someone knowledgable on linux, mysql, and wikimedia to take over
this job, which may overlap with the following. Without such a volunteer, the site will shut down because
of a lack of support. 

2) I have been the editor of the wiki for approximately 12 years. I think that's unhealthy for any community
document, but it's certainly beyond my capacity anymore. As of June 16, I will no longer be the editor. It is
my hope that a volunteer will step forward and take this modest responsibility. The decision will be made
by a vote of those who I see as the top 3 contributors to the wiki over the past three years (speak up if you feel
you might not be noticed... it's very possible). 

I am not stating 2) with ill will. On the contrary, I hope to find someone with the same passion that I had when I
started the wiki. I am confident we can easily find someone with greater commitment today.

Best regards,
Joe Slater

TexLive 2012 updates?

By any chance has TeX Live 2012 been frozen so that no further packages updates are being done? (Because,
perhaps, TexLive 2013 is under active development.)

I ask because on my system the TeX Live Utility (1.12), pointed to repository
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet, has listed no available updates over roughly
the past week. Normally, I expect to see some updates nearly every day.

Updated latexmk engines (but not latexmk itself)

Howdy,

There is no update to the latexmk program but all of the latexmk engines for TeXShop have been updated to all
for project level control of the engines by creating a latexmk configuration file, call platexmkrc (p for
project), in the same directory as the root file for the project.

On example for using this feature is if you wish to use the pdflatexmk engine but wish to use texindy to do
index processing rather than latexmk's default of makeindex for that particular project. To do that you
would create a platexmkrc file that contains something like

$makeindex = "texindy %O -o %D %S";

(this is Perl notation) and can even use any special options you wish to pass to texindy. If the platexmkrc
doesn't exist in the directory of the file being typeset the engines behave just as they did before.

WARNING: That file will be read in by any file typeset in that directory so you should isolate a project in its
own directory structure.

To get the new engines with installation instructions, etc., download Latexmk435TeXShop2.zip from <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10932738/index.html>.

Good Luck,

TeX Live Utility and MacTeX prereleases

I noticed in the archives that there's been some recent discussion with respect to TeX Live Utility and
MacTeX 2013. Sorry not to have responded, but I don't monitor the list.

For TeX Live prerelease, go to 

http://www.tug.org/texlive/mirmon/

and pick a nearby mirror. In TeX Live Utility, use Configure->Manage Repositories to bookmark another
server and/or set it as default. Drag or otherwise copy one or more of those URLs under "MY REPOSITORIES" at
the top of the repo list in TeX Live Utility.

These steps should be pretty well covered in the Help book, but let me know if the steps there are unclear.

Regarding other points: 

1) I go to great lengths to avoid PATH and other user-set environment variables. The only way I'll change
this is by adding to the list I ignore.

2) The TeXDist preference pane is the wrong place to set repositories, and TeX Live Utility would override
that setting anyway.

regards,
Adam

Is there an easy / elegant way to access Pandoc via a GUI in TeXshop (or Mac OS X)?

I've been doing a lot of work on the ShapeOko wiki, and am about to start in on the printed (pdf) assembly
instructions using Scribus, so getting from Mediawiki to something Scribus will import seems the hot
ticket --- but this brought pandoc's LaTeX support to mind --- has anyone ever thought of using pandoc to
allow conversion when opening documents?

Or is there some other elegant way to access this? (Services?)

I did find this:

https://github.com/dsanson/Pandoc-Droplets-and-Services

Unfortunately, no mediawik support there AFAICT.

Any suggestions? I'd also be willing to accept suggestions for Windows-specific solutions (send them
privately to me at willadams@...).

Thanks!

William
