Synctex reverse does not work on Atom 1.31.2 #216

Closed mafw closed 5 years ago

mafw commented 5 years ago

Hello,

Unfortunately I can't get SyncTex reverse to work on Windows 10. When I click anywhere in the PDF viewer it simply opens a new blank text file with the same name.

The version of pdf-view is 0.71.0 The version of Atom is 0.50.0 Windows 10 build: 17134.320

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That may be correct since, in any synctex enabled viewer If you have a .pdf and a .synctex(.gz) then on triggering inverse search it expects to open in the configured editor the samename.tex so if its not in the same directory it may start blank. This can be affected by configuration , relative vs absolute paths, synctex engine version and viewer embedment's. so to test you need all 3 files from the same compile in the same test folder . I am looking to update my notes for Atom so it may not help with your issue but until then for a background guide with older test files linked at bottom of page 2 see MyNotes https://github.com/GitHubRulesOK/MyNotes/blob/master/AppNotes/SumatraPDF/LATeX%20and%20Reverse-Search.pdf

That actually makes a lot of sense. I tested it now with a new .tex file and a fresh compile; it worked perfectly - so I'll close this thread.

Thank you very much for your time and help!
