Thanks. That confirms my theory. I had changed the path in the default config for a GitHub issue a while back but I think it makes sense to revert that change so that it looks on the default PATH for latex. Then anyone with a strange setup can just change it themselves. I'll do that so in the next release the default will be just "latex" rather than "/usr/local/bin/latex"
