Howdy,

I agree. I believe a ``compound extension'' has to be added as a special case in the TeXShop code itself. It wouldn't work to just ass it as .synctex.gz.

On the other hand I just tested Trash Aux Files… on a test file and the .synctex.gz removal is already in the code. So there is no problem.

Good Luck,
