Thanks :).

You could also try disabling the problematic scripts from Scripts >

file from wherever it is hiding).

The SyncTeX file is most likely created by ConTeXt, not by Tw (Tw only
uses it).
Anyway, could you send me a minimal example (.tex, .pdf, .synctex) that
causes this error as I can't reproduce it on my machine at the moment
and would like to have a look at the synctex file in particular.

> Another issue on which I reported previously is partly solved: now, when Command-Clicking on the name of the window of the source file shows the hierarchy of the folders in which the file resides, but this doesn not open a Finder window to access to the folder and the file in the Finder (normally it should). But the PDF window shows only the name « untitled.pdf », instead of the correct name of the PDF file, and shows a path going to the Applications folder where my copy of TeXWorks resides…

Interesting, as I did not change anything in the code that should affect
this issue (AFAIK).
Anyway, does the PDF window show "untitled.pdf" always, or only if you
click on it to get the context menu?

Best,
Stefan
