As noticed by Martin, since TeXLive 09 the .synctex file is always created in the same directory as the pdf output. This is the only way to tell a pdf viewer that there exists some synctex information around.
but it must be a special viewer knowing about synctex. Couldn't one then put the required path info into the PDF file, e. g., as some special comment, or even as /PTEX_SYNCTEX_PATH key into the info dir or catalog?
In short, my suggestion would be to somehow hard code "Factory" (or any appropriate name) as output directory name.
i guess this would make the overall system rather inflexible. Regards, Hartmut
