No inverse Search when using \usepath

No inverse Search when using \usepath

[Gerhard Schramm]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1087 bytes --]

Hello List,

Greetings to all members! This is my first post here...
Relatively new in Context, I've loved it since the first minute!

I write technical manuals with Context.
Some chapters of the manuals are depending on the type of the machine 
which are described in the manual.

I try  to use \usepath  to load the right texfile from different 
folders.   My variable for searching the correct folder is \machinename.
\machinename is set before compiling

The folders are:
/MakeText/Ang/machineA/techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex
/MakeText/Ang/machineB/techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex
...
/MakeText/Ang/machineX/techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex


Tex example:

\usepath[/MakeText/Ang/\machinename/]
....
\input   /techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex
\input   /otherfolder/otherfile.tex
\input...



I can compile and I get a nice PDF,  but the inverse search is not 
possible. (I use Sumatra and Notepad++)
NPP only looks at the path after    \input... /techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex

Do any of you know a workaround  for this?
Is   \usepath the suited command?


Thank you in advance!

Gerhard

You can also do this (thatfile.tex):

\starttext

\usepath[/foo/\getdocumentargument{machine}/whatever]

see what we have:

/foo/\getdocumentargument{machine}/whatever

\stoptext

run as:

   context thatfile.tex --machine=mymachine

or maybe

    context thatfile.tex --path=mymachine

is also sufficient

What do you mean with 'inverse search'?

He probably means SyncTeX.

I think so. In fact, I have this doubt, can you use synctex with
ConTeXt or do you have something that works like it?

You have to enable it:

\setupsynctex[state=start]

because it adds quite some overhead.
