Re: Jump to line with error
It doesn't matter whether I'm creating a .pdf or just doing build without producing output -- sometimes it automatically jumps to the error line and sometimes it doesn't. It still seems like there must be a toggle somewhere that I can use to reset the system to jump to the error line!
Here is a minimal example:
\documentclass[11pt, twoside, a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
This is a \emp h{TEST}.
\end{document}
output:
No problem here. TexnicCentere finds the error message and jumps to the correct line in the source code.
But if i move the file to another subdirectory "long sub directory", it does not jump to the line in the source code if compiling directly to pdf:
but if compiling to dvi everything works fine!
The only obvious difference in the error log is the way the file name is printed! Maybe this is the key for the problem?

The only obvious difference in the error log is the way the file name is printed! Maybe this is the key for the problem?
It works with me. It could be because of the way you call latex. I use the command line -interaction=nonstopmode "%Wm".

Ok, thats it! I had "%pm" instead of "%Wm" and after changing it works fine!
Thank you!
edit: "%wm" works as well.

it doesn'n work if the path of the tex file has a folder with a space in its name. I had the same problem and that solve it for me.
I had the same problem, but then i solved it. Going by trial and error, I realized that this feature doesn't work if the file name contains any dots (.) or whitespaces ( ). Underscores (_) seem fine though.
E.g., it didn't work naming the file "a.test" or "a test", but it did work if i called it "a_test".
Personally, I prefer to press F9 rather than move my hand all the way to the mouse, click on the right spot and then back to the keyboard.
I'm so glad i have this feature back, I am going to save so much time!
