    Errors Latex
In summary, in the default installation of the gummi editor in Fedora, it can be difficult to locate LaTex errors. The preview screen often becomes a window saying no preview can be shown if an error is made while typing. The information in the "build tab" is not helpful and the log file in the .cache/gummi directory is often empty. However, there is a way to customize gummi to make errors easier to find by making it behave like the editor on the forum and display valid LaTex up to the point where there is an error. Alternatively, another editor such as TexStudio could be used instead.

TL;DR Summary
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?
