Re: [Skim-app-users] forward inverse search not working

[Daniel W. <dan...@gm...>]

Christiaan and Iliya,

Thanks for your quick responses.  You both prompted me to dig a little
further and I figured out the problem, which is an Aquamacs issue rather
than a Skim issue *per se*.  I had the same problem from the command line
but discovered that the issue was I had spaces in my tex source file name,
and the Aquamacs configuration was not picking that up.  So I changed the
key line in my Aquamacs preferences file (in my case customizations.el) to
put the source file buffer name in single quotation marks.  Here is how the
relevant code in my TeX-view-program-list reads for me now:

("Skim" "/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline -b -g %n
%o '%b'")

I.e., putting %b in single quotation marks did the trick.  [%o works fine.]
(Also note: unlike in Iliya's suggested code, somewhere in my code, "Skim"
becomes an alias for my PDF Viewer.)

So far it works fine for me.  Can anybody see a downside to this?  If not,
maybe the single quotation marks ought to be recommended?

Thanks,
Daniel
