I seem to be not able to get a synctex.gz instead of a synctex file.
I tried
context --synctex=1 file
and
context --synctex=-1 file
but in both cases a simple synctex-file is created.
Is this normal?
Sure, because
- context doesn't use syntex's internal code but uses its own logic
- there is no gain in zipping
- we have relative small synctex files because we use a different logic
the way to enable synctex is in the document (see workflows.pdf):
\setupsynctex[state=start]
it's a bit pitty that pdf viewers have hard coded syntex file parsing
instead of calling a program with coordinates as arguments that starts
the editor because that would make a more powerful combo and give room
for additional functionality:
> mtxrun --script synctex
but anyway, i can only test with summatra pdf and it works ok here (last
time i checked)
a collegue uses synctex with documents that are constructed runtime of
thousands of small xml files deeply nested and filesize of the synctex
file is neglectable by the size fo the pdf
