I'd like to use the external library with TikZ. There I want to use the "up to date check". But when activating the key in this minimal example I got the error:

! Package pgfkeys Error: I do not know the key '/tikz/external/up to date check' and I am going to ignore it. Perhaps you misspelled it.

This is the minimal example I used:

\documentclass{scrreprt} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{selinput}
\SelectInputMappings{
    adieresis={ä},
    germandbls={ß},
    Euro={€},
}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{external}
\tikzexternalize[  prefix=figures/
    %, up to date check=md5
    %, force remake
]

\begin{document}

\tikzsetnextfilename{circle}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    \node[draw, circle, minimum width=2cm, red] {};
    \draw (0, 0) -- (1, 1);
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

I updated my MiKTeX distribution, but nothing changes.

  • I can't find anything in the documentation about that key, where did you read about it exactly? – T. Verron Nov 26 '12 at 10:47
  • I read it in the manual pgfmanualCVS2012-11-04.pdf (http://www.texample.net/media/pgf/builds/pgfmanualCVS2012-11-04.pdf) on page 405. – Dirk Nov 26 '12 at 11:01
  • Will replacing \tikzsetexternalprefix{figures/, up to date check=md5, force remake} instead of \tikzexternalize[ prefix=figures/,up to date check=md5, force remake] work for you? – hpesoj626 Nov 26 '12 at 11:13
  • In this case no file output is produced. – Dirk Nov 26 '12 at 11:20

    That is the manual of the CVS version, which is not same as the one found in the MikTeX repos. You'll have to download the CVS build from Texample, and install it manually. – Torbjørn T. Nov 26 '12 at 11:21
  • There are some instructions for installing such a build here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/2045/586 – Torbjørn T. Nov 26 '12 at 11:30
  • I tried to install the current build manually. But the error is the same. Where do I see with \listfiles whether my manual installation was successful? – Dirk Nov 26 '12 at 13:23

    I get the same error on a current TeXlive (full update literally minutes before I post this). The pgfmanual I see the option described in is from May 2012, so I guess it should work by now. Not sure "too localized" is the correct answer here. – Raphael Nov 26 '12 at 21:09
  • Got it. I installed the build from TeXamples and every thing runs. On my last trial the texhash didn´t get the local files. I still don´t know why, but on the current computer every things works fine. Thx! – Dirk Nov 28 '12 at 09:54
