I would like to create a new tool for the Gedit LaTeX Plugin, but I run into two problems.

First, I cannot select "New" from Edit / Preferences / Plugins / LaTeX Plugin 0.2 / Configure Plugin / Tools. I tried first the version in the Ubuntu repositories and then the version on Sourceforge, but both don't allow to create a new tool: the button is there, but if I click on it, nothing happens.

Second, if I edit one of the existing tools, I really don't have an idea on how to change the relevant commands. I tried with: Code:

latex
bibtex
latex
pdflatex
evince

but it obviously doesn't work. Can you advise me on that? Thank you in advance!

What type of plugin do you want to create? In much cases Kile is already a good Integrated LaTeX Environment on Linux/Ubuntu (I guess you use gedit on Linux). I never had problems I couldn't solve with Kile. – CommuSoft Jan 18 '11 at 17:13
Basically I need a one-click button to execute the following sequence: latex bibtex latex pdflatex evince. Kile is good, but I would prefer to use Gedit because of its cleaner interface, better spelling check utility, and Gnome compatibility. – looreenzoo Feb 6 '11 at 12:00

I think this question is better suited for SO since it's about Gedit plugins, not LaTeX. – Philipp Apr 19 '11 at 18:38
