There are various things that can go wrong with the URL. 1. Apparently Apple has problems with the fragment separator in the URL (#). Looking at our code, this used to work in the past because we explicitly don't escape those, but somehow Apple has decided that it doesn't like them, though it's a valid URI character. I don't know how that should be handled, as escaping them would also be wrong. 2. The error message probably is related to the underfull hbox warning. The warning is shown whenever any of the tex processes say that they fail (return a nonzero return value). You should realize that the purpose of the tex preview is to see whether tex will be able to use the item without any problems, therefore it should warn whenever tex warns. 3. I don't know what is going on here. You may also show the status bar on the detail window (View menu), then it will show whether it needs to autofile the linked file, and by clicking the icon you can see which fields it expects. BTW, the autofile format is supposed to be a relative path so it should NOT start with "/". Perhaps that's the problem.
