Allows you to switch between several tex sources. Local Switcher allows to switch between several tex sources by setting a symlink texprograms in your home directory to the new tex source. The tex sources that are in prinicple available for the switches are „texlive/year“, „texlive2005“, and „tetex“, i.e., they are offered as possible options to switch to. Before Local Switcher takes any action to set the new symlink, which would also include removing the old symlink, it first checks, if the new tex source is available on your hard disk, i.e., it checks if the supposed source directory for the symlink exists. If this is not the case an error message will occur, but no action will have taken place. Setting a symlink in your home directory requires no password before the old symlink will be removed and the new one will be set. After you made the switch you can easily revoke it, since Local Switcher checks your current tex source at start up, stores this information, and you can simply switch back to the original state. When the application starts for the first time you will see an error message that it couldn’t detect the symlink.The buttons are self-explanatory, the one named „texdoc“ calls the corresponding shell script through an Applescript where the search will always take place in the tex tree of the currently active tex.
