#1132 displayline broken on OSX 10.11.6

[Thomas Pani]

Running displayline fails with

error "Skim got an error: AppleEvent handler failed." number -10000

Changing the apple script on line 54 from

tell front document to go to TeX line theLine from theSource showing reading bar $bar

to

tell front document to go to TeX line theLine showing reading bar $bar

fixes the issue.

OSX 10.11.6, Skim 1.4.22 (96)

So this is synctex forward referencing? I couldn't get it to work last night coming out of sublime text / latexing to forward jump to a line in Skim as I always was able to, and was blaming myself to no longer knowing how I did it last time.

Right, you can try to reproduce by running displayline from the shell:

$ /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline 400 main.pdf main.tex
error "Skim got an error: AppleEvent handler failed." number -10000

where main.pdf and main.tex are valid paths and 400 is a valid line number in the tex file.

Thanks Thomas. I've spent most of the day today trying to unfuckup PDFKit (see here), and still I was not able to make that forward referencing work out of Sublime Text. Maybe I've just forgotten the hot key :)

I've tried the command that you said, and basically always get this:

501:564: execution error: „Skim“ hat einen Fehler erhalten: Fehler in der AppleEvent-Routine. (-10000)

I'll try again tomorrow night. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi again Thomas,

as noted here, I'm not able to run the script - in neither version. I just get an applescript error when trying.
