I tried to add a build tool but I can't seem to figure out how to make this work with live preview. I don't understand the difference between a tool class and a tool configuration. I think the preview configurations are frozen so I can't add any new entries. Any help is appreciated!

Tectonic also comes with a project format https://tectonic-typesetting.github.io/book/latest/v2cli/init.html. Supporting this would also be a great idea!

I don't know how to make `class=LaTeXLivePreview` on the GUI but adding this entry manually to kilerc worked. 

[Tool/Tectonic/Default]
autoRun=yes
checkForRoot=no
class=LaTeXLivePreview
command=tectonic

jumpToFirstError=yes
