texstudio is independent of the LaTeX installation so they have no control over the generated .synctex file.
Why not just ask the developer? While you are talking to him, tell him about reftexs label features. TeXStudio really need to up their game in relation to labels in multiple file documents. /Lars Madsen Institut for Matematik / Department of Mathematics Aarhus Universitet / Aarhus University Mere info: http://au.dk/daleif@imf / More information: http://au.dk/en/daleif@imf ________________________________________ From: Tassilo Horn [t...@gnu.org] Sent: 05 February 2015 11:08 To: Lars Madsen Cc: Mosè Giordano; auctex Subject: Re: [AUCTeX] OT: Have a look at PDF Tools (new PDF viewer for Emacs) Lars Madsen <dal...@math.au.dk> writes: > Would you mind doing us all a favor, and figuring out how this works > and add it to Emacs, preferably Emacs + Evince as that is the compo I > use. Both the Evince and PDF Tools AUCTeX viewers already support that provided that SyncTeX would return a sensible column number which it sadly doesn't. > Might be an idea to check what actually is in the synctex file. I've looked at it and didn't understand it. But even if I did, that wouldn't help us because we need to use the information provided by the viewer. And that's (file line column) where column is always -1. > And what exactly is getting back from the previewer (I've never sat > down and looked at it). See above. And I'm pretty sure that both Evince and PDF Tools query the synctex info from the PDF. So my guess is that either TeXStudio hacked up SyncTeX to supply correct column numbers, or they use a dirty trick like their previewer returns not only the line information but also the word at click position which they then can search after jumping to the right line. Well, in both cases, we're out of luck since we cannot (nor want to) provide a better SyncTeX, nor are we able to change what viewers like Evince supply when backward searching.
