Dear Hans,
subject says it all: when I use \synctex=1 in mkiv, I don't get any ..synctex.gz file. The --synctex switch works however (which is exactly the opposite of what used to be the case a while ago :).
\synctex is a nop in mkiv, use a proper directive instead:
\enabledirectives[system.synctex]
Thank you. What exactly was the reason to disable the old syntax? Why not maybe defining it to give at least a warning (or even error) printing out a message saying what to do. It is a bit weird to see the code compile fine without ever noticing that something went wrong. Is there any chance that a single command would be provided that would work both in mkii and mkiv (in mkii it would call \synctex=1 and in mkiv it would call \enabledirectives[system,synctex])? Mojca
