Are there any plans to add synctex support to the LaTeX bundle? Synctex is part of the *tex engine and replaces pdfsync. It will be part of TeXLive 2008. Skim.app already includes support for synctex.
Yes there are. In fact, they were first formed the moment I heard about synctex on the mactex mailing list. I haven't gotten around to looking closer into it though. Don't know if Brad has had time to think about it either.
Its been on my long-term todo list as well. But I'd kind of forgotten about it until now. I'm running Skim 1.1.10 and I don't see any visual evidence that it supports synctex.
It's only described on the Skim wiki:
http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/TeX_and_PDF_Synchronization
I also have not had the time to download the TeXLive 2008 beta.
The book goes to the printer next week so there may be a small window of opportunity to look at this before school starts up again.

So how can we test if the installed tex has synctex support or not?
