[zathura] --synctex-forward change in 0.3.4
Hi All, Can I find any documentation for the --synctex-forward mechanism? Suppose I run zathura --synctex-forward 20:1:paper.tex paper.pdf In 0.3.1, if an instance of zathura wasn't already showing paper.pdf, this would fail with an unfriendly error message. In 0.3.4, it launches a new instance if one isn't already running. However, if you run zathura --synctex-pid XXX --synctex-forward 20:1:paper.tex paper.pdf then it succeeds (and exits immediately) if a process with ID XXX is already showing paper.pdf, and launches a new instance with an error message otherwise. This makes things a little more inconvenient to script. (See my attached hack script.) Can I suggest instead that if zathura is run with --synctex-pid, then it *ALWAYS* returns immediately, and the exit status signals whether it succeeded or failed. This way, scripts can do something like: zpid=$(https://lists.pwmt.org/mailman/listinfo/zathura
