LaTeX editor with project management for Mac

Question

I tried a few of the LaTeX editors for OS X. TexMaker, TexWorks, TexShop and TextMate/BBEdit offer syntax highlighting and some additional features to edit single tex files.

On Linux I've been using Kile for LaTeX editing. The outstanding feature is the 'project' mode, which opens a project view with a side pane. You can open several tex documents and save them in a hierarchical folder structure and thus split your chapters up in several files with a main file where you include each chapter. You can also add images etc. It's much like an Eclipse project. That's very useful for large projects like a thesis or research paper.

Question: Is there a LaTeX editor for OS X that offers similar options?

Thank you!

Kile is a user friendly TeX/LaTeX editor for the KDE desktop environment. KDE is available for many architectures such as PC, Mac, and BSD.

and it's downloadeable at DarwinPorts and Fink

Answer 2

TextMate supports projects. There is a "project drawer" in which you can have several files organised in a hierarchical structure. You can save your project, open it later, etc.

Then you can use, e.g., rubber to compile your project. Of course rubber doesn't know anything about TextMate projects, but it doesn't need to: it'll find the dependencies automatically and compile everything that is out-of-date; just point it to your main Latex file. It's fairly easy to configure TextMate so that you can launch rubber by hitting a keyboard shortcut in TextMate.
