OK, so I can get around this problem by getting Skim to run a python script, which I've named open_in_mate.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib import os import sys
commandString = "open "txmt://open?url=file://%s&line=%s"" % (urllib.quote(sys.argv[1]), sys.argv[2])
os.system(commandString)
But when I swap back to using the mate command the inconsistency is still there, i.e.:
1) open_in_mate.py %file %line is set as Skim's command to fire when you Cmd+Shift+Click on somewhere 2) Test it, works fine - jumps to TM with the file open in the correct window 3) Swap Skim settings to use /usr/local/bin/mate -l %line "%file" 4) Test it, jumps to TM but the file is open in a different window
This appears to be a very peculiar bug with the mate terminal command - any comments Allan?
Thanks,
David.
