Summary0008098: Spaces / file extension issues with latex render frame under windows
Descriptionpdflatex fails to build the temp TeX file if the TEMP path contains spaces or if the file does not have ".tex" as the extension.

For example, the temp file generated is something like

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp\scribus_render_xxx

but calling pdflatex fails with errors like

Unable to find "C:\Documents"



Also pdflatex for windows seems to refuse to accept input TeX from a file unless it ends in .tex



Both of these seems like a trivial fix but I haven't found a way to do it by editing 100_latex.xml
Steps To ReproduceTry to render some latex with a render frame
Additional InformationCan workaround by changing the environment variable TMP/TEMP in windows to a new location that doesn't contain spaces like C:\TEMP


Also can workaround the extension by a windows-batchfile wrapper that does:

move %1 %1.tex
pdflatex --options %1.tex

And then set scribus to call the batchfile instead of pdflatex

Unable to reproduce and your 1.3.5svn build is too old. Temporary file is written without problem to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp.

Whitespace issues should have been fixed for some time now.
I don't know about the extension issue, but I don't think latex for windows behaves differently than the linux version. Could you please try with a recent build?

No problem here with extensions and pdflatex.exe
