I'm using TeXShop (v3.26) and I've just downloaded Flashmode (v7.1.1) which I put it into /Applications. Then I followed the instructions for the TeXShop/Preferences:
uncheck the „Automatic Preview Update“ , set „Default Page Style“ to „Multi-Page“ .
Under Typesetting define the „Sync Method“ you would want to use. You should select „SyncTeX“
I've checked, SyncTeX is working. But when I launch Flashmode (by clicking on the app or executing the script new_clone) it just compile the .tex once and not refresh it every 0.2s like it is expected !
I tested with the minimal test "Flashmode-test.tex" provided by the author in the folder :
~/Library/Application Support/Flashmode/Test-files
which looks like this :
%&pdflatex
\documentclass{amsart}
%\usepackage{mathmacros}
\begin{document}
Notice the special command in the first line.
Start typing for otherwise Flashmode won't detect any modifications.
\end{document}
So I start Flashmode, it compiles the .tex and display the pdf, but again once ! If I add some characters in the source it does not refresh the preview in real time. Why ?

What is strange is that I can't find any process named Flashmode with the command line "ps -A" after executing it. I suppose that if Flashmode should refresh in real time the preview it has to appear in the current process list, hasn't it ?
Thank you
