synctex, TeXShop and \input files

[Otared Kavian <otared@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

Some time ago Hans added a new synctex command which seemed to work quite well: on a Mac running MacOS and TeXShop I could for instance click on a sentence in the PDF file produced by ConTeXt and the sentence was highlighted in the source file, even it were part of an \input file. For instance after typesetting the file:

%%% begin synctex-example.tex
\setupsynctex[state=start,method=max]
\starttext
\input knuth.tex
\hairline
\input ward.tex
\stoptext
%%% end synctex-example.tex

I could click on the sentence « The separation of any of these » in the PDF file and the file knuth.tex was opened and those words highlighted.

In the recent versions of ConTeXt (the latest being ConTeXt  version 2017.09.25 19:19 MKIV) this does not seem to work anymore. As a matter of fact even when the source file is not an \input file, the syncing between the PDF and the source does not work anymore.

So my questions are the following (the « or » below is a mathematical one…): 

1) Has the \setupsynctex command changed recently? 
2) Or am I having troubles with the latest version of TeXShop (version 3.88).
3) Or is there an issue with the MacOS I am using (version 10.13 Beta).

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

Best regards: OK
