File Add/Edit templates…	View the directory where the templates are stored `~/Library/Application Support/Texifier/Templates/` or `~/Library/Application Support/Texpad/Templates/` in the older naming scheme.

File Email PDF	Open a new email message with the current PDF file as an attachment.	Cmd-E
File File Encoding	Choose the file encoding Texifier should use for loading and saving files. If you alter the file encoding with open documents, Texifier will migrate all files in the project, and save to disc. We strongly recommend that you use UTF-8 file encoding for your work; it supports all languages, and as such it is becoming a de facto standard for plain text files.
File Reload with File Encoding	If you see strange characters, there is a good chance you have opened a file with the incorrect encoding; this option will discard all changes and reload all open files using the specified character encoding.
File Print LaTeX Source…	Prints the source code.	Alt-Cmd-P
File Print PDF…	Prints the PDF.	Cmd-P
