By the way, I checked the code in texMate.py, the related part is: if viewer == 'Skim' and vp: syncPath = vp + '/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline ' + os.getenv('TM_LINE_NUMBER') + ' ' + pdfFile + ' ' + shell_quote(os.getenv('TM_FILEPATH'))

I think there are some problem with the last item: shell_quote(os.getenv('TM_FILEPATH'))

This one should be the one I select the text or currently view, not the master file. I guess textmate always past master file name to this part. I hope anyone can tell me a fix.

I tested the "displayline" in skim manually, and it works just fine.

I used: /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline 50 "co.pdf" "prim.tex"

And I can see the correct line in co.pdf, although the tex file is not of the same name (but it is one of the included files in co.tex).

Hi Everyone, I am pretty new in textmate, but I found it is great software and I use it everyday now. One problem with me is the pdfsync, I currently use skim as the pdf viewer, and from skim, I can find the point in tex file by shift+cmd+click, but from tex file I have some problem: my paper includes multiple files, I think I can only find the place in skim by (control+option+cmd+o) in the master file (which includes the titles of different sections), for example, I put the mouse in one of the title, and I can be directed to the right place in pdf viewer(skim), but if I go to one of the input files, and select a place, nothing happens, or it produces the wrong pdf file by the input file, and it doesn't make sense. Anyone can tell me how to point to a place in tex file (not master file but one of the input files) and find the place in pdf file? Thanks!
