Description Ernst Reissner 2021-06-21 07:37:50 UTC

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. 
configure okular: 
Settings-->Cofigure Okular -->Editor
Choose 'custom test editor' and type as command: 'code --goto %f:%l'
2. compile a latex source with synctex. 
3. ensure the browse tool is enabled, click shift move to the proper place and press left mouse button... 

OBSERVED RESULT
nothing happens. 
Note that if on bash shell i just tpe in 'code --goto %f:%l' 
with proper replacement of %f and $l, then the editor behaves as expected. 
So maybe the problem is okular. 

EXPECTED RESULT
the editor shall move the cursor to the according place.

Does it work for TeXstudio or LyX for Windows?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

I am sorry for letting you wait that long.. 
I had to ask my local admin to install texstudio first. 
Now i have but still, backward search does not work. 

I configured with texstudio which invokes 
texstudio --line %l

I wonder that it does not need the filename....

I don’t know Windows, but I am pretty sure this is a duplicate of Bug 436774: Okular is not allowed to run commands.

I would tend to disagree, 436774 seems a dbus discoverability issue, okular doesn't need to run commands for 436774
