Re: synctex, TeXShop and \input files

[Otared Kavian <otared@gmail.com>]

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
