Another colossal mistake on my part. Looks like the synctex options aren't something you can put in the RC file, and are needed on command line. So I put alias zathura='zathura -s -x "svim -G +%{line} %{input}"' in my ~/.zshrc and forgot about it. When I wanted to load zathura-2.9 from testing (and not my own compiled version), I had to do LD_LIBRARY_PATH= /usr/bin/zathura mixing.pdf Great. My precious shell alias wasn't invoked and the synctex options were gone! When I added them back, as above everything works. Thanks again for your help! GI PS: Can I convert my blunder here to a desperate plea for a setting in the RC file for all synctex options, instead of us having to resort to command line options every time? Also, it might make life a little easier for users if there was an option for --synctex-forward to open a new window if the file isn't already being viewed. (Admittedly this can easily be worked around by scripting.) Regardless, I set up synctex and zathura to work with fvwm and vim the way I like it a few months ago: Here's a how-to if anyone is interested: https://wiki.math.cmu.edu/iki/wiki/tips/20140310-zathura-fsearch.html -- Don't drink and drive. You might hit a bump and spill your beer. _______________________________________________ zathura mailing list zathura@lists.pwmt.org http://lists.pwmt.org/mailman/listinfo/zathura
