Re: [gedit-list] Issues with SyncTeX plugin

[pieter redpanda nl]

No other errors. Just had a good look at synctex.py, the issue is that
when a file is opened, self._doc.get_language() returns None. Therefore,
self.active is set to False, resulting in the plugin not being activated.

No clue as to why self._doc.get_language() returns None — the language is
detected correctly by gedit, because the right syntax highlighting is used
after opening a LaTeX file. Also, when the plugin is un-checked and
re-checked again, get_language() behaves as it should. I checked and
self._doc.get_file().get_location().get_uri() returns the correct file.
Inspired by that, I applied a temporary fix. The idea is to replace

lang is not None and lang.get_id() == 'latex'

by

self._doc.get_file().get_location().get_uri()[-4:] == '.tex'

which works, but it's not the ultimate solution.

Cheers,
Pieter
