When I give, between quotes " for the full path - with or without quotes 
for the file name only, the name with .tex, with or without the path, it 
is what appears in the synctex file:
example with \input{introduction.tex} or \input{"introduction.tex"}
!98990
}1
Input:82:introduction.tex
Input:83:installation.tex
Input:84:t1jkptt.fd
!82
{2
(83,15:4736286,47378389:28548188,42642103,10046
and the move works.

But, as far as I remember, one should *not* give the extension (.tex) 
with \input. I have had cases were at typesetting an error occurred 
saying that the file name.tex.tex was not found.
