Click For Summary
The Gummi editor in Fedora struggles to effectively display LaTeX errors, often resulting in a "no preview" message without helpful information in the build tab. Users report that the log file in the .cache/gummi directory is frequently empty, complicating error identification. There is interest in customizing Gummi to show valid LaTeX up to the point of an error, similar to other editors. Suggestions for alternative editors, like TeXstudio, have been mentioned as potential solutions. Improving error visibility in Gummi remains a key concern for users seeking a more efficient editing experience.

TL;DR
Is there a way to configure the gummi editor so it is more helpful in showing the location of LaTex errors?
In the default installation of the gummi editor in Fedora, I find it difficult to locate LaTex errors. If I'm typing along and make a error in LaTex then the preview screen suddenly becomes a window saying no preview can be shown. I don't find the information in the "build tab" helpful. The log file in my .cache/gummi directory is often empty.

Is there a way to customize gummi so errors are easier to find? - make it behave like the editor on the forum and display valid LaTex up to the point where there is an error?
