Re: [LaTeXila] [ANNOUNCE] LaTeXila 2.6.0

Hi!

Nice work!
I just updated the arch linux package and I have one question: How can I 
disable vala so only the c sources are compiled. This is important, 
because if vala is installed but the version is too old, configure 
complains and latexila will not build. I worked around it by exporting 
ac_cv_path_VALAC="" but that does not look pretty. What's the correct 
way of doing this?

I also have a suggestion: Let the user choose what helper (exo-open, 
xgd-open, gnome-open, ...) should be used to open files, because xgd is 
somewhat buggy if one uses nautilus form within xfce resulting in all 
files being opened in nautilus. As long s this bug persists, an option 
to define a helper would be very welcome since the only way to work 
around this annoyance in the current release is to create custom build 
commands and disabling the built-in ones (resulting in broken keyboard 
shortcuts).

best regards,
Bernd
