[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.85; PDF file deleted when generating previews |
Date: |
Sun, 8 Feb 2009 18:20:02 -0500 |
Following a bug report that I received and my attempts to diagnose the
issue, I'd like to report two issues with Preview mode:
- In AUCTeX (latest release) with PDF mode on, using the command bound
to the menu item "(or toggle) at point", the .pdf file associated with
the master file for the current .tex source is deleted. This is
annoying; among the problems it causes is the reported one quoted below.
It appears that the .pdf file is deleted towards the end of the
preview generation; this is noticeable when running the slower
"generate previews for buffer".
Further investigation shows that the .pdf file is deleted by preview-
gs-sentinel because it is the car of `preview-ps-file'.
- The user also reports that the PDF viewing application shows a lot
of formulas for him (rather than the actual doc); I don't quite
understand what's going on. I have verified that Preview generates
_region_.pdf rather han anything else.

I hope this was sufficiently detailed; ask if I can supply more info.

Maybe this will give more clues... (It may be messed up even more.)
I had a pdf preview of a paper opened by Skim.
I toggled the preview of a formula in the file to its latex code
(command-click) without making any change.
Then I run preview for the document (just to avoid preview at point).
Skim gave me all formulas from the paper, centered one under another,
in a very long file. No text.

Right. Turns out that "Toggle Preview at Point" actually deletes
the main PDF file. That doesn't make sense to me.
Jan, do you want to take it up with the AUCTeX Help group then?
It's their code.

I suspect (since it makes sense) that preview generates a new pdf
file at each invocation - even if it has the same name. In this
case, skim's behaviour is as expected.

OK, I reproduce the behavior. I see that the .pdf is correctly
generated with a new time stamp. I did get correct Skim behavior
the first time around, but not after using "generate preview at
point". It's unclear to me what the interaction with AUCTeX/preview
is, but I would say that as soon as the PDF is regenerated, Skim
should update. (After doing a "revert" in Skim, things work fine.)
I can imagine that Skim looses the handle on the file. Maybe (!)
Aquamacs/AUCTeX deletes the .pdf or does something else to it, and
the file system can't keep track of it. Something like that perhaps.
Thus, I defer to the Skim team for now!
PS., Christiaan, the Report Bug link on the Skim website links to
the main Sourceforge homepage or their login screen.

Same behavior when starting without customization

Jan / Daniel,
If this did not change with a Skim version change, then please
let us know which version of Aquamacs/Emacs you're using exactly,
and make sure that this problem replicates when (in Aquamacs) you
start without customizations (Help -> Diagnose -> Start
without...).
If we can replicate the bug, we'll be happy to help of course.

Jan,
I observed the same behavior in the previous version of Skim, too.

I have to close Skim's preview file and generate a new one.
I have observed this annoying behavior syncing with the newest
Skim 1.2.1,
I do not know whether it was present in earlier versions.

Remember to cover the basics. Including a minimal LaTeX example
