Dear all,

In Emacs/AucTeX I had configured search/reverse-search in Okular (running Linux, of course) with:

(setq TeX-view-program-list '(("Okular" "okular --unique %o#src:%n%(dir)./%b")))(setq TeX-view-program-selection '((output-pdf "Okular")))

where %(dir) is defined (in custom-set-variables) as

 ("%(dir)" (lambda nil (expand-file-name default-directory)))

This used to work just fine, but now when I try to preview a file (or jump to position), the %(dir) appears unaltered, such as:

 okular --unique final_sol.pdf#src:403%(dir)./final_sol.tex

(%(dir) used to be replaced by the working directory...)

Any ideas on how to fix (or debug) this?  (I'm far from an expert...)

I'm using Emacs 24.3.1 and AucTeX 11.87, both from Debian Sid/Unstable.

Thanks,

Luis

What does "defined" mean - do you add this to `TeX-expand-list'?

What I meant was it appears like this in my .emacs:

  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.

OTOH, it is now working again.  I am not sure what was the problem...  Sorry for the noise...

Best to all,
