3 years ago Hi @i8890321 ! Thanks a lot for your feedback. My understand of the problem is that file paths in windows contain :, and since we use these paths to craft temporary files for the plugin. Typically we write the content of the current buffer there before compiling it.
Any chance you can paste the output of this command ?
:echo b:livepreview_buf_data['tmp_src_file']This reminds me of https://github.com/xuhdev/vim-latex-live-preview/pull/85, which replaces this extra : into a _
If you can confirm this patch works, we can work on merging it
Expected behavior
a PDF preview with SumatraPDF should pops out
Actual behavior
I encounter the following error
Error detected while processing function13_StartPreview: line 66: E739: Cannot create directory: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\vim-latex-live-preview-cersh_wsC:\Users
