</div>I guess it should be doable (not sure about the difficulty, though), but<br>
can you please give a typical case where you would need this?<br>

</div>Bug, but (unfortunately) I cannot reproduce it on my system. Normally,<br>
Tw should recognize a corresponding pdf if it is already open and not<br>
open a copy of it. Probably there's some problem with that mechanism<br>
that you've came across now. So could you please describe in as much<br>
detail as possible what you did and especially the directory layout you<br>
use? In particular:<br>
