From: Stefan Monnier <monnier <at> iro.umontreal.ca> To: 21729 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#21729: doc-view messed up by early auto-revert Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2015 14:05:44 -0400
Package: Emacs
Version: 25.0.50
When I work on LaTeX documents, I generally have a doc-view-mode buffer
open displaying the PDF output. I'd like this document to auto-update
after I recompile the .tex file(s), but using M-x auto-revert-mode
doesn't work well for that:
emacs -Q foo.pdf
M-x auto-revert-mode RET
then in a shell
pdflatex foo
The result is that the doc-view buffer ends up displaying the raw file's
content (for me anyway: it's timing dependent, but I see this
behavior on several machines, with very different performance. the
foo.tex document needs to be large enough, of course).
I think there are two problems:
- Doc-view should inhibit auto-revert when the file was modified too
recently (on the assumption that it's not complete yet).
- [ Just guessing here: ] We may sometimes fail to revert the file after
it's complete, maybe because the last reversion finished after the file
was complete, even though it started before, so the last reversion
failed to include some changes that were added while the buffer was
being reverted.
