Hi,
is anyone using ConTeXt with Skim, or TeXShop, on macOS?
SyncTeX used to work fine with ConTeXt in both apps. Now, it seems that ConTeXt
has started to generate a .synctex file rather than a .synctex.gz, and the
format seems to have changed (?). As I haven’t followed recent (or perhaps not
so recent) developments in this area, do you have any suggestions to make
SyncTeX work again?
- there is no benefit in a foo.synctex.gz file over a foo.synctex file;
context generates relative efficient synctex files
- context generates synctex code that is suits the way it works (for tex
as well as xml input); in context lmtx i still need to add some lines to
the context code (not done yet as i don't use synctex myself)
- the synctex file format has changes recently so mayb that is your
problem; unfortunately syntex support in viewers is via a library anod
not via a "call to a command that returns file and position in file"
which would have made that feature future proof (mtxrun --script synctex
could provide that)
I am using Skim, but any PDF viewer would be fine if Skim cannot be used for
the purpose any longer.
Thanks in advance,
Nicola
