Feature Suggestions ⇒ Jump to line with error

[dba]

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!

[Hedron]

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:

The only obvious difference in the error log is the way the file name is printed! Maybe this is the key for the problem?

[MartinC]

It works with me. It could be because of the way you call latex. I use the command line -interaction=nonstopmode "%Wm".

[Hedron]

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

[marianatasaf2]

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.

[dandus]

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!

[marianatasaf2]

@dandus Glad I could help!
