The temporary copy seems just to vanish when closed, as you would want; and it has the same name and location as the original. If you markup the new copy, it creates a duplicate with new name and you choose to save or not.
Open the first one regularly and then use the open
command with the -n
option.
- Open Terminal
- Type
open -n
and drop the file into the Terminal window. The full path of the file will appear after what you've typed. - Hit enter.
The -n
option opens a new instance of the application (in this case the default one, as no other is specified) even if one is already running.
