Fix Package Installation Pop-Up When Opening Template #113

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Choose File -> Open Template
  2. Select the Formal Letter Template
  3. Click Load Template

Actual Result
After a few seconds, a Package Installation dialog will pop-up. If the user does not choose Install or Cancel within a few seconds, the pop-up automatically closes. This happens for all templates except for Plain Cover Letter.

Expected Result
The pop-up should not automatically close without user input.

It depends of your LaTeX settings. This situation occurs if you selected sth like "ask me for installing package" during LaTeX installation. I fixed it by reinstalling LaTeX with "always install packages" option. I think (not 100% sure) that it's not Open-LaTeX-Studio issue.

As @aQaTL mentioned, those popups come from the LaTeX distribution, not from Open LaTeX Studio and it's not strictly connected with templates, but importing packages in general. Still, maybe it's worth investigating whether we can improve anything on our side, when user chose not to install packages automatically.

Thanks for the clarification on the package install popups. I'm using MiKTeX. I changed my settings to install packages automatically, and I'm no longer seeing the popups.

All that's happening with autoinstall is just masking the issue. There is a real issue in the dialog message timing out before user hit's install or cancel. Definitely worth looking into.
