Hello,

First of all thank you for your work in continuing the legacy of TexText.

After installation, the extension starts fine. However, when I try to 'apply' or 'Live Preview' any of my TeX string, I have been receiving the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Currently running Inkscape 0.92.2, XeLatex, and both PDF2SVG and PStoEDIT.

Error seems to occur regardless of what is put in for the latex source.

Also tried commenting out

WriteTeX/writetex.py

Lines 181 to 192 in b1f9dee

           if os.path.exists(err_file):

               os.remove(pdf_file) 
        
           os.rmdir(tmp_dir)

Per a closed issue and had no luck there either.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Have you updated to the latest version?

If you commented out above lines, you should be able to locate the temp folder. What are the files in the folder?

Currently running v1.6.1

In that folder are:

writetex.aux
writetex.txt
writetex.out
writetex.pdf
writetex.tex

Looking at the .pdf, .tex, and .txt files everything seems to be compiling properly and generating a pdf with the text I want on it.

The writetex.svg file is missing. Seems something wrong with the PDFtoSVG convertor. What operating system you are using now? Is pdf2svg in path?

Currently running windows 10. pdf2svg doesn't show up in the path.

Putting either pdf2svg or pdftoedit in the path, the extension should work properly.

You can download pdf2svg from official site (I know they provide binary for Windows now), or here.

That fixed it. Odd that it didn't get set during the PStoEdit or pdf2svg install. Thank you for all your help!

It did not work for me.

	os.remove(tex_file)
	os.remove(log_file)
	os.remove(out_file)
	if os.path.exists(err_file):
	os.remove(err_file)
	if os.path.exists(aux_file):
	os.remove(aux_file)
	if os.path.exists(svg_file):
	os.remove(svg_file)
	if os.path.exists(pdf_file):
	os.remove(pdf_file)
	os.rmdir(tmp_dir)
