This is a good fix. I recommend you resubmit it with [PATCH]
in the subject so that someone with commit access can get into into SVN. Locally, I've patched my Vim-LaTeX to have a "Tex_TreatMacViewerAsUNIX" variable that I turn on. That lets me avoid "open" entirely. This is convenient as it lets me do forward searching. Forward searching is supported in Skim via an AppleScript call (which can be put inside a command line script that exec's osascript). --Ted On 2/17/09 5:24 PM, William (B.J.)
