postscript-preview's Issues

[BUG]

Windows

Failed to execute ps2pdf. Report bug with postscript file to dev.

macOS Requirements

Currently, the requirements section of the README states that users on macOS need to install GhostScript via

brew install ghostscript

However, this is sufficient only to provide the desired ps2pdf command. To enable the additional pdftocairo command that is required for the extension to function, it is required to additionally run

brew install poppler

it may be useful to add instructions to this effect to the README.

[REQUEST] Auto refresh preview pane

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

No.

Describe the solution you'd like

Saving the contents of the .ps file (or pressing F5 for refresh?) causes the preview window to update.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The only way I figured out to refresh, is to close the preview pane, and reopen it, by clicking the icon in the upper right. I can assign a keyboard shortcut to PostScript Preview, but it opens up a second preview pane. It would be best if the existing pane simply refreshed.

Additional context

None.

[BUG]

Describe the bug
The Plugin doesn't work in WSL enviroment

To Reproduce
Just install on the wsl side as requested by the tool

[REQUEST] Display console output

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

No.

Describe the solution you'd like

When I run a PostScript file in GhostScript, any screen output, via the == operator, shows up in the gs window. Is it possible this extension could display that somewhere inside vs code?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Use GhostScript instead.

Additional context

None
