I have been trying to add Nomenclature to my thesis. I have found that I have to create a Nomenclature.engine and run it so that it would show up in the final file. This file, as per many answers on this website, must be located at /Library/TeXShop/Engines/. Such directory does not exist on my mac. Is there a new way to add nomenclature?

Thanks.

  • It's not /Library/TeXShop it's ~/Library/TeXShop. I.e., the Library folder in your home directory. – Alan Munn Apr 10 '19 at 0:04
  • Yes, I have typed it with the "~" symbol and seemed to follow the instructions. I have found the Nomenclature.engine file in ~\Users (home) directory, and could not find any folder named TeXShop. I am sorry, I am new to this, haven't got a clue what to do. – Jim Apr 10 '19 at 0:06
  • What happens when you do the following: In the Finder, type Command-Shift-G. This should open a dialogue box that says Goto Folder. Cut and paste (don't retype) this: ~/Library/TeXShop into the dialogue box. What happens? – Alan Munn Apr 10 '19 at 1:47
  • Fixed everything. This found the folder, so I moved the .engine file there. Everything works fine. Thanks! – Jim Apr 10 '19 at 13:35

TeXShop has the TeXShop->Open ~/Library/TeXShop command so there's no need to hunt for it.

Why don't you try using the pdflatexmk engine since it may already be setup to deal with your nomenclature problem. Just put the line % !TEX program = pdflatexmk at the top of your file and typeset using Typeset->Typeset (Cmd-T).

  • This is the kind of thing that long-time users like me never notice! Thanks, Herb. – Alan Munn Apr 10 '19 at 14:58
