Description Simone Gaiarin 2018-01-27 11:50:28 UTC 
A combobox to select the compilation tool for the case pdf->png should be added to let the user select other tools like Xelatex, Luatex

Changing line 155 of previewwidget.cpp to:

tasklist = "PreviewXeLaTeX,,,,,png";

compiles correctly with xelatex (though sometimes the image is not displayed, but this is another bug)

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!

Selecting "Build > Quick Preview > Selection or Environment" the preview is still generated with PDFLatex. It is not possible to choose the compiler from the UI.
