Version: 2.1b4 (using KDE 4.5.95) OS: Linux Normally when typing the beginning of a command that is defined in one of the abbreviation files or in the latex file, a little dropdown menu appeared offering completions. Now this menu only appears if manually invoked with ctrl+space. I tried to turn autocompletion off an on again in the settings and it didn't help. I also tried deleting all configuration files. Can this be related to the fact that I updated to a new RC of kde? I don't remember when it last worked. Reproducible: Always
I forgot to write: the completion of labels when I write \ref{ and the first letter still works. the same for \cite{.
Please update to Kile 2.1 beta 5. This should be fixed there.
ok, now it works. thanks!
sorry, i have to correct myself again. for macros included with \input{}, autocompletion only works if the path is relative. this is a problem, since the quickpreview function only works if the macro-file is included with absolute paths!

I'm not aware of the fact that Kile would also consider commands defined in included files for auto completion. Can you please provide a test case which would show the correct and wrong behaviour (both with quick preview and auto completion)? Thanks.
Created attachment 57346 [details] example project exhibiting the problem
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, kile does autocompletion for macros defined in other files, as long as the other file is part of the project. This is useful and important. It only works with relative paths, but this is not a problem. With respect to the quick preview, I did some experimenting and I noticed that Kile is able to generate quick previews of math environments which use macros defined in external files (I don't think it's important whether they are in the project) as long as these files are included with absolute path, or relative path without '..'. This means that the macro file has to be in a subdirectory of the project directory, which can be a problem when you want to share a macro file between several projects. So I think the thing that needs fixing is that quick preview can not deal with '..' in relative paths. I put an example project in the attachment.
Thanks for the example project. Can you maybe update to Kile 2.1 beta 5? The auto completion works here in all of the cases. The quick preview indeed doesn't work here in exactly the cases you have identified.
Ok, the problem does not seem to be absolute paths but rather symbolic links. For me, autocompletion works if the macro file is included with absolute path free of symbolic links, but not if the path contains a symbolic link.
Autocompletion not working for me too. Worse still latex symbols in kile cannot be used. Clicking on them does not produce the corresponding latex code in the editor.

This is different from the issues I reported, I do not have any custom commands or symbolic links for kile.

the discussed problems still exist (on kile 2.1.0) -- quick preview fails if files are included with \input{../shared/macros.tex} where the path contains ".." , and autocompletion fails for macros defined in files where the \input{} directive contains symbolic links.
