Subject: Open File by Name
Hello,

I have a problem with the new implementation of "Open File by Name…" or "Open Selection" (⌘D).

The former version evaluated relative paths, so a call for
myText.tex
would open the document with that name in the same folder as the present document.
But now, I get suggestions for the document to open, and the first (or only) offer might not be the document in the same folder, but one with the same name in another folder (this happens easily if you work on a new version of an older document). I don't quite kno when this happens.

At the same time, relative paths like
../ProvenanceMetadata/Delos.tex
are not recognised by this command: the "Open File by Name" remains empty, while a click on the search button opens that file immediately.

I would like a way to return to the earlier behaviour.

Best
Thomas
