           Summary: Several features associated with Kile and PDFs cause
                    problems
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: MS Windows
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: monsieur.spidey at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                MS Windows

Several of the features associated with Kile don't work on the MS Windows
version.  These include the Live Preview which simply returns a message [Kile]
Unknown tool LivePreviewPDFLaTeX, the quick preview using pdf->png which
returns the error message [Convert] finished with exit code 4, and the
occasional crash when compiling with PDFLaTeX which seems to generally happen
when something already in the document is changed (like an equation or picture
size - though not text).  The last one is sporadic but the other two never
work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
For the live preview simply enable it and whenever it tries to use it you will
get the error message.
For the quick preview change the selection to "Show preview in bottom bar" and
"pdf->png".
The last one seems to happen most often when a picture is resized and then the
document tries to compile.

Actual Results:  
The first two simply fail to show anything.  The last one causes Kile to close.

Expected Results:  
The goal in all three is two compile some or all of the text.  The first two
are also suppose to display whereas the last will only display it if ViewPDF is
active.

These are all included together as it seems to be related to Kile and PDFs. 
The DVI portion doesn't seem to suffer from similar problems.  For instance,
you can quick preview using dvi->png without any problems.
