Summary0007370: os x and pdflatex
Descriptioni guess that we can tell our users to use mactex for the latex frame.

the problem is, that mactex installs pdflatex in /usr/texbin/pdflatex, which is not a standard path and is not found by scribus when running pdflatex.

the easy way to solve the problem is, to use

<executable command="/usr/texbin/pdflatex --interaction nonstopmode" />

in editorconfig

for the future, i think that the command should be set in the preferences for a maximum of flexibility :-)

In the case of render frames, this is not really the solution and even insufficient because several render frames may use several tools (pdflatex, gnuplot or others), the tools being defined via configuration files.

Additionnal point which should be taken into account : on Windows and macs, executable paths may well have spaces in their names, so it may be better to separate executable path and command line options in configuration file and/or configuration dialog.

every configuration file could define some fields for the the render frames' configuration :-)

I'll make frames individually configurable and seperate the options from the executable path.

New configuration option should fix the problem.
