#2286 Preview: unnecessary resolution reduction

Milestone: None

Status: wont-fix

Owner: nobody

Labels: None

Priority: 1

Updated: 2017-10-10

Created: 2017-10-06

Creator: genodeftest

Private: No

When using the preview feature with dvips/ghostscript or dvipng, the resolution is very low. As a result, the preview is barely readable.

Why doesn't texstudio show the newly generated .ps file, which has good quality?

Workaround:
In Preview options, set zoom to 50%.
In Command, add "-r200" to Ghostscript command line (rungs.exe)

Affected version:
texstudio 2.12.6 on Windows

texstudio has no means to display a postscript file atm

It seems to become deprecated anyways, most people use only pdf (for preview)

  Has TeXstudio means to display a PDF file, as it does for PNG ones?

    yes, preview config / preview command / preview with pdflatex

      I meant, is it possible for the tooltip to be displayed as a (mini) PDF (vector) file instead as a PNG image? In such a case, no trouble with low resolution.

        No. Internally you have to convert the pdf page to a rasterized image which is then presented as a tooltip.

either use dvi->png method, you can set resolution in commands or use pdflatex (which tends to be more straigh forward).
