Sure, but my problem is that I have a document with five or six chapters. Each chapter is included in files which are named for instance chapter-1.tex chapter-2.tex and so on. Then my file main.tex contains the lines \input chapter-1.tex \input chapter-2.tex and so on, in order to typeset the whole document. But now I don’t know how to sync the PDF file with the source files chapter-1.tex, chapter-2.tex, etc., in order to correct mistakes or mistypings when I discover them in the PDF file. Clearly, the main file and these files are residing in the same directory. Is there a way to tell context to look into the directory where the main file and my chapter files are? Thanks a lot for your attention. Best regards: OK

Hi Hans, Thanks for the hint. Indeed every input file has got a reference in synctex file produced by ConTeXt. (I noticed also that during the typesetting ConTeXt creates another file with a suffix syncctx which is wiped out at the end of the processinng). On the other hand after reading your hint I tried the same files with another application, TeXWorks, and there the syncing works perfectly. Therefore it seems that this is a problem with TeXShop and I am going to report a bug with Richard Koch. Best regards: OK

it works here .. you can look in the synctex file to see if the files get references
