At the top of a single source file, I have the lines:
% !TEX root = prd_Aestimatio-0301.tex % the root file
% !TEX TS-program = ConTeXt2021
% !TEX useAlternatePath
% !TEX useConTeXtSyncParser
\setupsynctex[state=start, method=max]
Syncing works well enough—though I can see no difference between method
=min and method=max, both highlight only a few words and not the entire
text to be synced, but perhaps my expectations are out of line.
When I have these lines at the top of a component file and typeset the
product file, I get a rootfile.synctex file, but syncing itself goes awry.
Nothing happens when I sync from the PDf file to the component file, and
when I sync from the component file to the product PDF, I get the correct
page but no highlighting.
I am using TeXShop ver. 5.03—
sync method: Both Pdf Sync and Search
Alternative
Path: /Users/bowen1/Applications/LuaMetaTeX/tex/texmf-osx-arm64/bin
and also the latest ConteXt (ver. 2022.10.15 10:37 LMTX) under macOS
12.6 (Apple M1 Pro chip)
Note: the product file has only one component file for now.
I suspect that I am missing something but am not sure where to look or what
to do now. Any guidance will be much appreciated.
Alan

Hi Alan,
I have an almost identical set-up (M1, MacOS12.6, TexShop, useAlternatePath, useConTeXtSyncParser). One important difference, I use
sync method: SyncTeX (TeX ≥ 2010)
I’d recommend trying that. There are some other differences in my setup that probably are not important. At the beginning of my files (products and components)I only use the two lines
% !TEX useAlternatePath
% !TEX useConTeXtSyncParser
not the root and TS-program lines, but I don’t think that matters for your SynchTeX issue. Here is the engine I use for LMTX, just in case it has something helpful for you.
#!/bin/zsh
#
# This engine uses TeXShop's "Alternate Path", which is the variable "$3" below.
# Set the TeXShop's alternate path to your ConTeXt installation in
# TeXShop's Preferences -> Engine -> Alternate Path
# Start ConTeXt source files with the lines:
# % !TEX useAlternatePath
# % !TEX useConTeXtSyncParser
export OSFONTDIR=/Library/Fonts/:/System/Library/Fonts:$HOME/Library/Fonts
export PATH="$3":$PATH
mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --synctex "$1”
I put that long comment in the engine because I share it with collaborators.
Hope that helps!
Gavin

I've added --synctex=unzipped (or zipped or 1 or -1 or anything
boolean). No upload yet.

Is it possible to tell context to create a .synctex file instead of
a .synctex.gz?
(Or alternativly does someone know how to get sumatra (on windows)
to handle a synctex.gz?)
