Suggestions setting up with gnome-terminal and problem to render the latex text

[fredgrub]

I tried to configure with gnome-terminal to open the window to insert the text to be rendered by latex, but it ends up opening vim without $$ and no input is not copied to inkscape. See below how I set it up:

        'gnome-terminal',
        '--geometry', '60x5',
        '--', "vim",
        f"{filename}",
    ])

In addition to this problem: in the option to render the text beforehand (shift + T), everything opens normally, but when saved the input the rendered text does not appear in inkscape.

any idea why?

The problem is probably that when executing gnome-terminal it doesn't wait for the terminal to close before it returns. I.e.:

See how the prompt on the left appears immediately after opening a terminal? My script assumes it waits for the terminal to close and then reads the contents of the saved file. With the default behaviour of gnome-terminal, it returns immediately and so the content of the file is empty.

Adding the --wait flag to gnome-terminal (introduced in v3.27.1) should probably fix that:

Let me know if that works!

Now it worked. Thank you.

Glad it did!
