Bug Tracker

I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

ID	55🔗
Date:	2014-03-14 04:54:38
Status	Closed (Fixed)
Category	makeglossaries (Perl)
Version	4.06
Summary	makeglossaries assumes 3 character extension
OS	OS X 10.9.2

Description

Howdy,

I'm using makeglossaries to create one glossary at a time. Unfortunately the makeglossaries script seems to be hard coded to expect exactly 3 character extensions.

The sampleacronyms.tex sample file defines a 4 character extension and

makeglossaries sampleacronyms.acn2

fails.

Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
