You have to specify the absolute path to the document. It doesn't matter what the current working directory is. The new check_open does one of two things, depending on whether the supplied document name looks like an absolute path (i.e. starts with a slash). If it doesn't start with a slash, it does the old check, which won't distinguish the two files. If it does start with a slash, it checks the full path. So if you do
…check_open ~/Desktop/testing/fred.pdf …check_open ~/Desktop/testing2/fred.pdf
it ought to give the correct results.
I assumed that Charilaos had updated the Typeset and View command so that it passes the absolute path to check_open, but I don't see any changes to the command when I do an svn update. Sorry Charilaos, I should have made it clearer!
Heh, I'm not messing with that command, it's in Pytrhon ;). I'll dig through it when I have a moment, but if someone with more python-foo can fix that quicker, that would be great.
Partly, I wasn't sure if the pdfFile variable needed for some reason to only have the relative path to the file.
