include local package in preview_math_template_packages

[nikolaibobenko]

I am not able to find a satisfactory way to do this, so sorry if this has been asked before.

Is it possible to just give a global path or local relative to the root folder of the project to a .sty file to include it via \usepackage in preview_math_template_packages?

Thanks.

Sorry including local files is currently not possible #1179
We cache the generated thumbnails and reuse them. This will lead to issues if they depend on external files in the current implementation and one has to consider performance problems when changing the implementation.

Thanks for the answer.

So the only real way around this is to install the local package so it can to be seen globally or to maintain a copy of the package in the format of preview_math_template_preamble?

The first will probably not work either if changes to the package are introduced, right?

I love the preview feature but this makes it much less usable sadly.
