[OS X TeX] File opening bug in TeXShop 3.11

[Richard Koch]

Chris,

This is a definite bug with TeXShop in Mountain Lion. I believe I have quashed
it, but need to do some more testing before I release 3.12.

If I use TeXShop to open a pdf file (either by double-clicking, if TeXShop is the default app for pdfs or by right-clicking or control-clicking and using the "Open With" menu), then TeXShop opens the pdf but it also opens a blank source window with the same name as the pdf. That doesn't see right. Furthermore, if I close either window, they both close, which doesn't seem right as well. Presumably this is due to some interaction with OS X's new resume feature. I don't remember exactly what the old behavior was, but this wasn't it.
