Bug: pdf view broken if file compiled somewhere else #379

Open MarcusAichmayr opened 8 months ago

MarcusAichmayr commented 8 months ago

When compiling a file somewhere else while it is opened in Setzer, it might look broken after manipulating the view.

To reproduce:

build a .tex file in Setzer
view the pdf in Setzer
compile the .tex file somewhere else (e.g. by command line)
change pdf view in Setzer (scroll, change zoom factor...)
some parts of the pdf will not be loaded correctly as seen in the image

Note: Recompiling the file in Setzer fixes the broken view.

I'm using version 61 of Setzer installed by Flathub on Ubuntu 22.04.3.

Thanks for reporting this. I think a good solution might be if Setzer would monitor the pdf for changes. Than if it changed it could show a message in the pdf view, like "pdf changed on disk, please rebuild in setzer".
