looks good

• packageList.xml can be removed from qrc and git if we take this solution.
• where is the json database coming from ?
• the dialog is a bit small on my 4k monitor, maybe that can be optimized (especially as it does not remember resized dialogs)

The json database is drawn from CTAN but it has been edittted.
I merged 4 different json files into 1 database file by building a custom function that gets the data and creats the file. It is not included in this project. Ithink I will be able to upload it in my repository in a few days.

The only thing I couldn't solve is to find a way to open the package documentation when the link is clicked inside the QTextBrowser.

All changes are made.

I changed the variable names. But I can't see the reason that compilation fails on OSX. I looked at the compile log and if I'm not mistaken the errors are on other files than the ones I modified.

thanks

There are blank spaces before the colon.
For example, Name : a0poster

Also, it would be better if the windows could be maximized since it is too tall on my laptop screen and the Cancel button is almost out of screen.

In addition, I tried to compile it on Linux Mint 20.2:

-- The current git hash is a8c0199
-- The current git describe is 4.4.0-1053-ga8c01995f
-- building for Qt 5

But I got the error:

I was able to build with msys2 ucrt64

TeXstudio 4.7.3 (git 4.7.2-38-ga8c01995f)

It seems that setMarkdown is available only for Qt6.6. I replaced it by setHtml and compilation goes well. But the format of the package info is plain text and no html text anymore, like screenshot below.

Is this the same?
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6.2/qtextdocument.html#setMarkdown
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtextdocument.html#setMarkdown

Looks like. But the doc says since 5.14. Since my txs shows Qt 5.12.8, I suppose I found the problem.

Nice feature!

But I don't understand the point of by default disabling the search text field: as long as the “all the packages” option is disabled (the corresponding checkbox is unchecked), nothing can be done. What I would expect would be that, by default:

• the “all the packages” option is disabled
• the search text field is enabled, allowing the user to search for a particular package (without cluttering the interface with the list of all packages).

@dbitouze this is impossible for you?

and I would say that the option is always disabled when the dialog is started

I'm using the version below on Linux Mint and the text field is locked, as screenshot below.

Including 5 extra developments and missing the latest 2 (reagarding cwls) I use this (msys2 build) on Win10:

I wonder why you see no packages at all. In any case the packages list should not be empty at start. How do you get the packages into place?

Sorry, I didn't follow the question.

When you start the dialog it seems from the screenshot that the list is empty. What do you do so the packages appear to the left?
I see the packages after the dialog starts:

The packages list only appears after the check button is on. Then the text field is unlocked.

there's something wrong.

there's something wrong.

Maybe this line: ui->lineEditSearch->setEnabled(n>0);

since search field is not enabled I would conclude that n equals 0. But then m_packages is empty & state<=0. Since I can't reproduce, can can you debug the the values of m_packages.count() and state immediately after line 48 (int n=0;)?

btw: do you use packages in your latex document?

You got it! I was opening the texdoc window with no opened document.
Now it works.

Anyway, it would be good to have the feature available also for no documents.

in this case the option should be checked
