When I don't use the variable, the </pre><pre>file is written just fine, but of course it's the same file for all </pre><pre>instances of the tool use (not so important because the file is </pre><pre>overwritten each time the frame is updated) and said file persists after </pre><pre>Scribus is closed (more important as this will lead to lots of left </pre><pre>overs building up if Scribus is being actively used and the machine is </pre><pre>not rebooted frequently). Does anyone have any ideas why </pre><pre>`$scribus_file$-score.gabc` is not writable while </pre><pre>`scribus_file-score.gabc` is?</pre></blockquote><div>As far as I can tell, $scribus_file$ contains also the path, not just the base file name. Can you attach TeX .log file? You might be lucky to find it as something like /tmp/scribus_render_XXXXXX/something.log :) I am just reading the source for you and cannot help you more at this point. v.</div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><pre><br></pre></blockquote></body></html>
