Georg, this is awesome! > Works mean that latex runs without error and writes the correct filenames > into the .dvi file. It seems that dvips is a bit behind and does not > understand quoted filenames. Yes, I say this last night. pdflatex generates valid pdf files though. It's possible that a wrapper to dvips could get around this problem. Check out DTL (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/dviware/dtl/) It contains the utilities dv2dt and dt2dv to convert a DVI file to and from a human readable format. For example: \documentclass[a4paper]{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \section{This in insetgraphics} \includegraphics{sub\string~dir/im\string~ge.eps} foo \end{document} dv2dt reports that the DVI file for this contains the entry: special1 61 'PSfile="sub~dir/im~ge.eps" llx=0 lly=0 urx=20 ury=20 rwi=200 ' I wonder if quoted filenames contain extra quotes? If so, something like: $ dv2dt infile.dvi | sed -f remove_quotes.sed | dv2dt -si -so > outfile.dvi might clean up the .dvi file, for some definition of remove_quotes.sed. > It is awful: Different characters need different workarounds, and for > some (e.g. {}) I could not even find workarounds. Truly disgustin'. However, this could (almost) all be hidden behind a latex_path() function. > Feel free to play with this, I don't have the time at the moment, but > will probably complete it next week or so if it is still needed then. Let's get the basic code in place first. The contents of latex_path can then be modified at our leisure. -- Angus
