Re: Synctex with auctex and Skim

[Giovanni Lanzani]

Just to be more clear:

if Carbon Emacs is running and I invoke emacsclient from the command
line, it jumps to the requested file. But if I compile a LaTeX file
and open Skim, the sync does not work between Carbon Emacs and Skim.
But if I close Carbon Emacs and run Aquamacs, from Skim the sync
works.

Therefore the 2 conditions you talked about are fulfilled: synctex is
invoked (it works with Aquamacs, without recompiling) and emacsclient
can invoke files in Carbon Emacs.
