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.
