Bug ID: 408890 Summary: Livepreview runs BibTeX instead of Biber Product: kile Version: 2.9.92 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: michel.lud...@kdemail.net Reporter: abhinav.s.deshpa...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Some of my source files need Biber to be run after `pdflatex` and some other need BibTeX to be run instead. I would like a way for Kile to detect when to use which for the Live Preview. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a .tex file that uses biblatex the following way: \usepackage[backend=biber, style=alphabetic]{biblatex} \addbibresource{Reference.bib} \begin{document} ... \printbibliography \end{document} 2. Enable Live Preview, set it to "Compile documents after saving". Also set Live Preview to use pdflatex by default (in Build-> Live Preview -> PDFLaTeX) 3. Add a citation and save. OBSERVED RESULT Kile runs BibTeX automatically after running pdflatex. BibTeX fails with error message: ***** ***** BibTeX output: ***** cd "/tmp/kile-livepreview.HiIqoP" ***** bibtex notes ***** This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2018/Arch Linux) The top-level auxiliary file: notes.aux I found no \citation commands---while reading file notes.aux I found no \bibdata command---while reading file notes.aux I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file notes.aux (There were 3 error messages) EXPECTED RESULT Kile detects that the biblatex package is in use and runs Biber instead of BibTeX (or runs both and continues running pdflatex for a second time) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.0-1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59.0-1 Qt Version: 5.12.4-1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
