Christian,
I've tried running the following script in AppleScript Editor:
set theFile to POSIX file "/Users/artemio/Desktop/Apuntes/MC.pdf"
set theSource to POSIX file "/Users/artemio/Desktop/Apuntes/MC.tex"
tell application "Skim"
activate
open theFile
tell front document
go to TeX line 1000 from theSource
end tell
end tell
The result is that Skim is immediately activated and the document's window is
brought to the front, but the line number command is totally disregarded (if
the document was closed, it opens in the first page, otherwise it just stays
where it was). I seem to remember that when Lion was released there was a very
similar problem. The only difference is that now the script produces no errors
or timeouts, it's just that the "go to TeX line ..." command is entirely
disregarded.
Any ideas as to what may be going on?
Thanks again,
Artemio
