[Bug-AUCTeX] "View" hardcoded in tex.el

[jfbu]

Hi,

from tex-buf.el: (previously in tex.el)

(defun TeX-view ()
  "Start a viewer without confirmation.
The viewer is started either on region or master file,
depending on the last command issued."
  (interactive)
  (let ((output-file (TeX-active-master (TeX-output-extension))))
    (if (file-exists-p output-file)
        (TeX-command "View" 'TeX-active-master 0)
      (message "Output file %S does not exist." output-file))))

So this hardcodes "View"

On the other hand there is a variable TeX-command-Show in tex.el which can be 
customized and whose default value is "View"

I once customized the TeX-command-list and renamed "View" to something french, 
and I thought that I just add to also customize TeX-command-Show to reflect the 
change. 

It is not until much later that I noticed some things were broken (I think for 
example the toolbar View button; and the C-cC-v). This was two or three years 
ago, and in fact I had just gotten used to not use what was broken. Recently 
(after years of not upgrading) however I am switching to a brand new laptop and 
system, and need to re-install Emacs/AUCTeX, and review all my .emacs. This led 
me to realize that the function TeX-view, which is bound to C-cC-v and to the 
toolbar button, has this hardcoded "View". Is this a bug?

Sincerely,

JF B.
