Hi,
regarding the SyncTeX regression mentioned by Damien: I ran into the
same problem after upgrading to Evince 49 (in Ubuntu 2604 LTS).
SyncTeX support is actually still usable. The problem is that Evince 49
changed its D-Bus namespace from |org.gnome.evince |to |org.gnome.Evince
|while AUCTeX still uses the lower-case |evince|name.
I am using AUCTeX 13.2, and the attached small changes to
|tex.el|restore both forward and inverse SyncTeX search:I rebuilt the
AUCTeX package with this patch.
After installing it, both directions work for me with Evince 49 on
Ubuntu 26.04:
*
Emacs/AUCTeX -> Evince: the PDF is brought to the corresponding
position and the usual red SyncTeX highlight is displayed.
*
Evince -> Emacs: Ctrl-click in the PDF jumps to the corresponding
source position.
Best regards,
Andrea
