Symbol View not found

[teufel7]

Hey,
I have recently found your plugin, which is very nice!
In the wiki I found the symbol view, but unfortunately I can not find it in my IDEs.
Do I need an additional plugin?

with kind regards

You need to have a LaTeX file open. You should be able to open the view as a tool window on the right side of the screen.

There no Symbols, if I open a Latex file.

And also nothing in View -> Tool Windows

In the source code I see

override fun isApplicable(project: Project) = project.hasLatexModule()

so it looks like you need to have a LaTeX module in the project to have it.

Not sure how we could show it only if a LaTeX file is open, then it would continuously be hidden and shown which I think is not the idea of tool windows.
Maybe it is possible to 'hide' it when there's no LaTeX module, but still show it in the View > tool windows menu @HannahSchellekens ?

The problem with simply checking if there are any LaTeX files in the project, is that it would also show on projects which only have one .tex file hidden very deep in some project dependency which is not being used.

detexify window does the same. Don't know what the possibilities are. The isApplicable only accepets a 'Project' instance...

I started a new LaTeX Project in Clion, but no Symbols ord detexify.

Aha, indeed, non-IntelliJ IDEs don't have the modules concept, so of course they won't have a LaTeX module and thus you can never use the tool windows. Maybe we can just change the check to 'any LaTeX file present in the project' for non-IJ, as I'm not sure what other check we could do based on the project.

[Edit] Fixed in #1843

Maybe look for opened editors? I don't know if the toolwindow changes dynamically though

Thanks, for the help!
For now I use IntelliJ IDE.

I think you can add in the wiki, that you need IntelliJ IDE.

I will fix it so that it will show in CLion as well, don't worry :) (and update the wiki to clarify when you see or don't see the tool window) expect that to be included in 0.7.6 to be released May 1st. Thanks for reporting the issue!
