Saving the figure #34

Open cristianpjensen opened 3 years ago

cristianpjensen commented 3 years ago

When saving the figure on macOS, using cmd+S, the figure is not automatically saved as a pdf and pdf_tex file. I have to manually use cmd+shift+S to save it as pdf. The file is only saved as SVG when using cmd+S.

Shouldn't the file be automatically saved as pdf when saving the file, according to the README?

Had the same problem. Unfortunately the automatic save does not work for me on ubuntu as well.

Just ran the debug option that i found in the closed issues. My inkscape version is Inkscape 0.92.5 (2060ec1f9f, 2020-04-08), which resulted in the wrong savecode in the script. Manually fixing the command worked, but I am unsure why the inkscape_version_number < [1, 0, 0]: did not work in my case.

I am running inkscape on the 1.1 beta version, I am getting [1, 1, 0] correctly as output. I don't know why the autosave function isn't working for me. Does the autosave only work on < 1.0 or maybe only on linux? I am using inkscape-figures watch before going into vim.

@cristianpjensen @pstaerk Did you install fswatch, e.g. via $ brew install fswatch?

It is used by main.py for non-linux systems:

You should find a running background job with

❯ pgrep fswatch
