Hi,

I noticed that evince (3.30) prints the following message on the console when opening any PDF file without a correspondent synctex file, even those which were not created with TeX:

! SyncTeX Error : No file?

I firstly noticed the message when I was indeed working on a .tex file created via latexmx and I was opening the PDF with evince. In this scenario it is cool to report the possibility of using synctex, in fact I didn't know about it and now I do.

However the message can be distracting and confusing when it shows up opening a file which was not created with a TeX toolchain (and maybe even for files originally created with TeX but opened outside of their source dir).

It's not a big issue since it's just some console output spillage, but I'd like to hear your opinion.

Thanks, Antonio
