Description monsieur.spidey 2012-02-24 15:55:42 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                MS Windows

Several of the features associated with Kile don't work on the MS Windows version.  These include the Live Preview which simply returns a message [Kile] Unknown tool LivePreviewPDFLaTeX, the quick preview using pdf->png which returns the error message [Convert] finished with exit code 4, and the occasional crash when compiling with PDFLaTeX which seems to generally happen when something already in the document is changed (like an equation or picture size - though not text).  The last one is sporadic but the other two never work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
For the live preview simply enable it and whenever it tries to use it you will get the error message.
For the quick preview change the selection to "Show preview in bottom bar" and "pdf->png".
The last one seems to happen most often when a picture is resized and then the document tries to compile.

Actual Results:  
The first two simply fail to show anything.  The last one causes Kile to close.

Expected Results:  
The goal in all three is two compile some or all of the text.  The first two are also suppose to display whereas the last will only display it if ViewPDF is active.

These are all included together as it seems to be related to Kile and PDFs.  The DVI portion doesn't seem to suffer from similar problems.  For instance, you can quick preview using dvi->png without any problems.
