I am facing an issue with previewing which seems to be triggered if all of
the following is true:
1) using luatex
2) preamble cache enabled
3) using tikz.sty
Note that everything is fine if one of the above statements is false.
This is how I can reproduce this issue:
* emacs -Q
* Evaluate:
(package-initialize)
(setq TeX-engine 'luatex
preview-auto-cache-preamble t)
* Run (preview-buffer) on the following file:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
$a$
\end{document}
* The error message I get is:
PDF2DSC sentinel: Opening input file: No such file or directory,
/home/andreas/test/_region_.prv/tmpxUxcGc/preview.dsc
Cheers,
Andreas
