#3 imbrowse does not work

[Mohammad Nazmul Haque]

Hi,
Thank you for devloping such useful tool. The keywords generation for index terms worked perfectly. However, the imbrowse does not modify the source .tex file.

The browser only shows the terms one after another, but index option does not open the occurances for accept or reject the index as shown in the video.
I tried on following OSs:
OSX 10.13.2 with Python 2.7
Ubuntu 16.03 with Python 2.7
*
If you could able to fix this issue, it will be very helpful for me.
Thank you.
Best Regards ,
Mohammad Nazmul Haque

Mohammad,

Sorry about that. I've been away from the Internet for a couple months, and when I got back I realized that the most recent version if imbrowse that I uploaded is broken. The version 0.33 that I just uploaded should fix the problem.

dear Kevin
as indicated, the imbrowse does not work and I cannot find the version 0.33. did the upload complete?
I would greatly appreciate - the indexmeister works very convincingly and I am eager to enter to put the index tags in!
thank you!

I had this working and it was very good. However, now it keeps crashing.
I am using Ubuntu 20.04

I ran indexmeister and placed the output into text file index.txt.
I then ran imbrowse index.tex and imbrowse with no parameters and got the same error both times. Both times, the indexes showed up but anytime I pressed a command key (at the bottom of the activity page) the program crashed and I received the following resutl:

Is there an upgraded version? I have tried re-installing to no avail. I will try to purge, but I think this might be a Python problem. Any help would be most appreciated. This is an excellent program.
