This might be related to a bug Dick Koch is investigating, and which
manifests itself for files which have been opened and modified in
other applications than TeXShop.
Three questions:
- When you do
ls -l filename
is there an "@" at the end of the permissions. Then this would
indicate the file has extended attributes (for example a CREATOR
attribute with value TeXs, and a TYPE attribute with value TEXT, which
is normal for a TeXShop file).
- What does the following return
xattr - l filename
This will yield the value of the extended attributes. Most likely a
com.apple.FinderInfo, followed by hexadecimal numbers and their ASCII
equivalent.
- If you copy your file with a new name in the form
cp -X filename newname
then you will a copy without the extended attributes, ready to be
opened in TeXShop afterwards. Does the new file exhibit the same bug?
