#60 TexMath objects in a LibreOffice v4.4.5 document not recognized in v4.4.6

[Howard Francis]

Hi,

I just updated my LibreOffice to version 4.4.6. When I open a odt document I wrote in the previous version, and try to edit an equation I wrote in it, TexMath tells me that "The selected object is not a TexMaths Equation". Any ideas how to fix this?

[Roland Baudin]

Right clicking on an equation image and selecting Description should display a dialog with two fields: a title field that contains the string 'TexMaths' and a Description field that contains a string like this one:
12§display§x(t)+y(t)§svg§600§FALSE§

Can you try this on some equations of your document?

[Howard Francis]

I did that, and it is showing those two fields as you describe.

[Roland Baudin]

So the equations are OK. I suggest you uninstall TexMaths and then reinstall it.

If it doesn't work, then try this:

Uninstall TexMaths from the Tools / Extension Manager menu of LibreOffice Writer
Turn on hidden files view in Windows Explorer
Remove the directory: C:\texmaths-<your username>
Remove the directory C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\TexMaths
Reinstall TexMaths

Actually, shortly after my reply, LibraOffice told me there was an update to TexMaths, and when I installed the update, I could open the equations again. Thanks!

[Roland Baudin]

Yes, you should use TexMaths 0.41 which is the last version.

So I think I can close this bug now.
