Hi,
While testing the 2.0 Release of aquamacs, I encountered some problem with LaTeX preview. The source file is a latex file in Chinese. Choosing cache preamble while executing the preview action and after quite some time, I got the following message:
------------------------------------------------------
...... (usual latex output messages omitted here)
Output written on file.pdf (887 pages, 1044820 bytes).

Inspecting the Working directory, the file named file.pdf containing only the math and section titles is already generated, but the file preview.dsc is not there. So it must be the process of generating the latter file that is causing the problem.
Alternatively, if cache preamble were not chosen before, the process of running the preview function quits very quickly, with much less error messages like this:

LaTeX: LaTeX found no preview images
----------------------------------------- (End of output)
The same source file previews without problem in 1.9 and earlier versions of aquamacs (under the same OS and TeX system). I believe this could be viewed as a bug in 2.0.
Thank you very much for reading this and for all the effort in developing aquamacs.
Yours,
