I just upgradated to 7p05, and I have the following problems (some of which
were already present before). I use Alpha for writing in latex, and I do
not know much of tcl, so my comments and suggestions are probably not very
good.
In TeX mode:
1) completion do not work well: after typing b'equa, alpha does not
automatically complete the environement. It is a bug, I think, in the
procedure completion::fromList - in completions.tcl (maybe in the clever
trick?). I changed the search string to "(${__cmd}\[^\\S\]*\\b\\**\\s*)+"
and now works.
2) cmd-dbl-click on an include file does not work. I think it is a bug in
the buildTeXSearchPath procedure in latexEngine.tcl: probably one needs
set result $folders
3) when I create a tex fileset, with the bibliography given by the a
reference.bib file which is not located in the same folder as the base
file, I cannot open it from the fileset menu unless I define the
texinputfolder to be the folder containing it (by the way, why is
texinputfolder a single folder?). Not a bug, but a request: would it be
possible to include the bib files and the base file in the menu I get when
I option click in a window's titlebar of a file belonging to a tex fileset?
And to get the usual behaviour with (for example) option control click
(sometimes one wants to look at the .log or .aux files)?
In Bib mode:
Bib::rebuildDatabase in bibtexMode.tcl does not work. I think one should
change
set bibs [lsort -nocase [Bib::ListAllBibliographies]]
to
set bibs [lsort -ignore [Bib::ListAllBibliographies]]
also Bib::ListAllBibliographies (always in bibtexMode.tcl) has a problem: I
chaged
glob -nocomplain ${d}*.bib
to
glob -nocomplain ${d}:*.bib
Another bug: when I start alpha by opening a tex file, I get an error message:
aevt package error-send error -1712
and the aevt package does not load unless I load it from the package menu.
(If I forget to load it, it does not load anymore)
thanks for all the work already done, I really enjoy using alpha.
