Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Dear Bug Submitter, This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Bug is still valid in 2.1.3 and 2.9.91. I tried to improve the dependency handling of kile in this merge request: https://invent.kde.org/office/kile/-/merge_requests/103 Maybe you can try whether this solves the issue for you as well? |
I have been working in Kile and I have noticed a bug as follows. When I have nested folders and I use the \input command, then the LaTeX requires that all paths be relative to the master document. However, the Kile scans the document using the relative path to the current file. Due to this, the file which I have included using the input command \input instead of coming under that specific file subtree from which it was \input instead appears under the main tree. For example, my structure is as follows: / |-------- master.tex |-------- algebra.tex |-------- algebra |-------- linear-algebra.tex |-------- matrices.tex Now the input chain is as follows: master.tex --> algebra.tex --> linear-algebra.tex --> matrices.tex Now what kile expects is that since linear-algebra.tex and matrices.tex are in the same folder, matrices.tex should be included in linear-algebra.tex using the command Case A: \input{matrices.tex}. However, LaTeX wants me to do this as Case B: \input{algebra/matrices.tex} When I do as in the case A, the kile project tree is proper, but LaTeX does not compile. In case B, LaTeX compiles but Kile project tree is screwed up. This bug is kind of anti-thesis to the bug #112089[0]. I think the problem is that the relative path is relative to the parent file rather than the master document. I guess, making the relative path wrt master document should fix the things and should not be a problem to anyone [0]: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112089
