Zettlr: xelatex engine not found

[Jonasan]

Hi,
I didn’t find a solution for this issue yet: Document class tex not recognised by Zettlr.
So the flathub version of Zettlr can export to any default template, also those using a pdf-engine (or how do you say that). But it doesn’t recognises or opens tex files, which is needed when using a custom template.

The AppImage version does see tex files, but doesn’t find the xelatex engine (also on the default pdf export profile):
“Pandoc exited with code 47
xelatex not found. Please select a different --pdf-engine or install xelatex”

Since the other version of Zettlr can export to pfd, there is a pdf-engine.

Any ideas?

I thought that the texlive Fedora packaged has xetex included, even the basic one?

I guess the problem is Zettlr. This is how the problem looks like:
When I open the folder “Templates”, I see this with Zettlr:

But this with Nautilus:

With “Open with” Zettlr is not in the options, even the not proposed ones (lower in the list):

I can reproduce the non-showing up of tex files in zettlr appimage program.

However, in Dolphin, I can choose zettlr as the program to open tex files. Maybe it’s a gnome thing?

[Jonasan]

That’s possible. I also have Dolphin and there I can’t open a tex-file either with “open with”. So it could be Gnome.
I’m using the Flatpak-version, not the AppImage, because with the AppImage I could see the tex-files, but it had a problem with xelatex (see original post).

I got the exporting-problem fixed with the Flatpak version, that’s why I stay on it. I don’t use tex files, except for one customized export-file.

Correction, Zettlr export using xelatex doesn’t work anymore.
The extension seems “broke”. I removed it to add it again and got

No such ref ‘app/org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive/x86_64/18.08’ in remote flathub

Using

flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive

You still can install the extension. And that fixed exporting with xelatex.
