“Watch Document”: Sync PDF at Start

[sanssecours]

Gildas reported this issue via the TextMate mailing list:

When using Command-R in the LaTeX bundle to typeset a document, the pdf opens at the page corresponding to the position of the cursor in the source. Watch Document, however, has the pdf open on the first page of the document, not the page corresponding to the position of the cursor in the source, and without the red dot on the precise passage. One needs to use Command-Option-Control-O to sync. Is it possible to have the Watch command sync the pdf right from the outset?

Please absolutely do not make this the default. I use Skim + "Watch Document" and the fact that the viewer doesn't flicker at all is one of the best things ever. If you really want to perform this enhancement, at least make it optional, and leave the option disabled by default so you don't disrupt other people's workflow!

In fact it would be good if we could also turn off the automatic sync when typesetting manually via command-R - I often find myself pressing command-R with the cursor in some random place and getting annoyed when Skim suddenly jumps there.
