Pdf viewer does not preview newly compiled pdfs after the first one. #168

Closed Dirivian closed 6 years ago

Dirivian commented 6 years ago

When the user complies and runs a Tex file, the pdf viewer previews the document as it should.

Now, when compiling a new Tex file without restarting Atom, the pdf viewer keeps previewing the old pdf instead of the new one.

How do you compile the new file? The pdf viewer previews the pdf file corresponding to the current root file.

Dirivian commented 6 years ago

I press CTRL + S to compile. What do you recommend?

ashthespy commented 6 years ago

Either split your projects into separate atom "projects" or Use the "Build LaTeX from current editor" function of the package.

ctrl + s with the "Build on save" option will build the currently set LaTeX root file - and hence you don't get an preview - cause it never builds the new file.

That works. Do you want to close this issue or I can document this somewhere.

Hmm, this is kinda how most TeX editors work - but if you think it needs an explicit note - go ahead and open a PR :-)
