Cant get Sagetex(WSL2) to work with TexWorks(Win11).

[Ahri-man]

I have installed texworks+texlive under windows 11, and sagemath under WSL2/Arch.

My project folder is at: C:\Users\zi\Desktop\sagetry\

I have created a SageTex entry under Edit -> Preferences -> typesetting -> processing tools:

Name: SageTex
Program: wsl.exe
Argument 1: /usr/bin/sage
Argument 2: /mnt/c/Users/zi/Desktop/sagetry/$basename.sagetex.sage

Sagetex works this way but what if I wanted to create a new project folder somewhere else under windows 11 ? I should manually change the path in Argument 2 ? or is there a way for TexWorks to generate the path automatically?

I don't use Windows such that next proposal may not make sense. It is based on soft links ideas.
Maybe you can use

Name: SageTex
Program: wsl.exe
Argument 1: /usr/bin/sage
Argument 2: $directory/sagetry/$basename.sagetex.sage

Where sagetry is a link located in the current directory, pointing to a global location of your home directory

./sagetry → /mnt/c/Users/zi/sagetry/

and in turn

/mnt/c/Users/zi/sagetry/ → /mnt/c/Users/zi/Desktop/sagetry/

That way, if you change the location where sage stores its documents, you update this last link and all the existing TeXworks documents will still work.
If you change the first link, it will apply to only one document.

@Ahri-man Please humor me by answering this question. I know it is off-topic for the issue you submitted.

I did not see a release of TexWorks that is supposed to work with Windows 11. Did I miss it on this page?
