Hello,
First time poster here - nice to meet you everyone!
I have a problem setting up custom latex commmands. For example, I'm trying to have a command to run pdflatex specifically on the file main.tex in the current directory (this should work everyone, so there are no projects involved in my query)
The way I do it is I just copy the standard geany command, and replace "%f" with "main.tex", as in the screenshot here for the command "make main.tex": https://maths.lancs.ac.uk/grabows1/web/files/1.png
However I never get anywhere with it - if I run the command the compiler window just lists the command like in this screenshot: https://maths.lancs.ac.uk/grabows1/web/files/2.png and nothing ever happens.
Is main.tex in the directory listed in the message window after the command?
This is the behaviour I seem to always end up with no matter where exactly I put the custom command, or what command exactly is used, as long as it involes pdflatex.
Possibly pdflatex expects input from stdin if it can't find the file and its busy waiting for it? Or your latex causes an infinite loop in pdflatex?
Cheers Lex
Any help would be much appreciated!
