Hello,
I recently lost aquamacs + skim synchronization. And I would to track down the cause.

Last week, I upgraded to lion, TL 2011 and the last version of skim. Since then, synchronization has a strange behavior.

On multiple file source document the synchronization from aquamacs to Skim only work when launched from the main source file (jumping rightly to the right position). When using it on an auxiliary file, skim only raise (showing previous position) and no red point appear. In that case console shows:
12/10/11 10:55:41,853 Skim: SyncTeX was unable to find location and page.
It used to work like a charm...

Backward synchronization (from Skim) simply stopped to work. On console, I get:
12/10/11 11:01:20,125 Skim: SyncTeX was unable to find location and page.

Googling on synctex issue as proposed on the skim mailing list have given me:
- http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25578/why-is-synctex-in-tl-2011-so-fussy-about-filenames
- http://forums.fofou.org/sumatrapdf/topic?id=2131346
which seems to highlight some changes on synctex in TL 2011.
The file name given to synctex should now be given as a full path (which seems to be a new feature) and furthermore the path must end with a /./ (which seems to be a bug).

I'm not sure if it is the cause of my problems and I would to track it down to its real cause to find a solution.

Is there a way to know what command line is used by aquamacs to say goto this point to skim?
I would like to test if it is a possible reason for the semi-working forward synchro.

Until now, I have tried downgrading to Skim its previous version, downgrading aquamcs to its stable version (I was using 3.x) and rebooting but it does not help.

Any ideas anyone?
