           Summary: Background compiling of LaTex documents
           Product: kile

          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux

          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: Jeroen.Wijnhout kdemail net
        ReportedBy: Andreas.Nicolai gmx net

Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Since I'm a happy dual processor user now and compilation of my normal TeX documents takes only about 10-15 seconds, I think some kind of background compilation mode and a live-preview should be possible now.

I was thinking of something in the lines of:

At regular intervals or after a certain amount of changed text:
- create a backup copy of the current document
- run latex/pdftex in the background
- if compiling without error, update quick-preview window...

Has anybody thought of this before or is even working on that already?
