The current script sets filefolder to a specific directory and then "counts" the versions in that directory. Of course I can figure out how to ask the user for the filefolder and set it accordingly if the file does not exist, but I don't know how to select the folder using the usual Apple pop-up navigation panel. Is that possible?

Howdy,

The only thing you need to be careful about with Duplicate (I've even mapped it to Shift-Cmd-S) is that, unlike Save… which defaults to the .tex extension, you must supply the extension you want. True as of TeXShop 3.06.

Good Luck,
