The path contains an extraneous branch, Homework/hw-lecture. This segment refers, NOT to the file that is being displayed but to the root file through which this window was opened. This problem does not happen in plain leopard: there, the path displayed on the window is always the correct path, whether a file is opened in the finder, or by the synchronizer is Texshop. The new behavior is inconvenient because I had grown to depend on this trick to navigate through my sizable database of homework problems. Themis Themis Matsoukas matsoukas@engr.psu.edu
