#901 Declare user command as building command

[Anonymous]

I work with a dedicated compilation structure that is written down in a bash script. So instead of trying to get everything into TeXstudios meta commands, I just create a user command 'sh makescript.sh %' and call that. This leaves my installation clean and universal for smaller ordinary tasks.
The problem: TeXstudio does not recognize my command as build command and therefore does not update the log file and error tracking. The behaviour is similar to: http://sourceforge.net/p/texstudio/bugs/695

I wish there was a way to tell TeXstudio if a command is a building one. Or to have a meta command, which does what the 'View Log' menu does so we could add this one into the user command list.

Thanks!

If you use the "compile" command for that, it should work

You can set that in the texstudio.ini files with the Tools/Kind/LaTeX option

Or to have a meta command, which does what the 'View Log' menu does so we could add this one into the user command list.

Try txs:///view-log

Thank you for those three suggestions.

I didn't want to do that in order to keep TeXstudio running as usual for other smaller documents.

This didn't work for me. I prob. used it wrongly. I have just added 'sh' to this list and restarted TeXstudio. Still the same behaviour.

Try txs:///view-log

Thank you! This was working!

Are there other tasks TeXstudio does (and I should add to my user command) when it recognizes a command as a compiling one?

It wants the name of the command. e.g. "user0"

It calls bibtex. (txs:///conditionally-recompile-bibliography)

And disables the pdf reload on file changed during the compilation (that can only be set in the ini)

Ok, thank you very much for your help!
