TeXamator is written in Python/Qt4. It is aimed at helping you making your exercise sheets. Basically, it browses a specified directory, looks for .tex files containing exercices and builds a tree with all your exercises. You can click on an element of the tree to have a preview of the exercise sheet and then add exercises to a list if you wish to. Then you can save your work to a .tex file or you can generate a .dvi (or a pdf or a ps) file. Have a look at the screenshots (not up to date but they still give an overview of the programm) !
To use this program you will need : LaTeX dvipng python-qt4
If you want to use okular as the embedded viewer (recommended), you will also need to install : python-kde
To start TeXamator, extract the archive, cd to the directory and just type : python texamator.py
Alternatively, you can extract the archive, browse to the directory and double-click on texamator.py but if you can, prefer launching it in a shell to see LaTeX running in the background.
Visit my website for more information especially if you don't get how the "compile" tab of the preferences work ! Or if you want to use pdflatex with TeXamator.
If you find a bug, if you want me to add a feature, if you want to translate TeXamator, or if you just feel like telling me how much you hate/love this program, send me a mail !Last changelog:
v2.0.1
Fixed a bug : double-clicking an exercise didn't add it to the list anymore
Hi, nice app, please add link for Gentoo linux system -- > https://github.com/mrbitt/mrbit-overlay/blob/master/app-office/texamator/texamator-2.4.2.ebuild
Thanks :)
Done ! Thanks. Could you change the homepage of the project in your ebuild file to github or http://alexisfles.ch/en/texamator/texamator.html ? I'm not updating the content here very often.
I use it for another aim:
Since many years I wrote all my letter with latex.
All letters are stored in one directory.
With this tag: \begin{letter}!!!\end{letter}
and this option "-interaction=nonstopmode" instead of "-halt-on-error", due to missing attachments and images and special commands during latex build process, I have a fast overview about my nearly 400 letters.
The category is not the point, I think.
For me it would be usefull to have an sort by date option for exercises.
But if this is not useful for you, please don't implement it.

Ps : also, you should add python-kde to the dependences
ok, change homepage of the ebuild... python-kde to the dependences non exist in gentoo!!
Maybe it's called pykde4 : https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/kde-apps/pykde4 ?
ok , (y) pykde4
add kde-apps/pykde4 dependences :)

That's a good idea ! Makes me think maybe I should put this app in another category than "Scientific -> Education". Anyhow, thanks for your message !
