I've been using LaTeX since I started university 6 years ago, and grateful to everyone ever involved in the kernel, or in the various packages, distributions and websites, those who introduced me to it and those who answer related questions!

I'm following with interest the developments on LaTeX3 and also the alternative engines, which I hope to one-day be able to exploit more!

comment Is there a simple way to open “.sty” files by something similar to the “texdoc”?
@egreg: Solutions with bash and kpsewhich are indeed easy, I like to combine with start or xdg-open etc instead of less. However, the texdoc solution at least doesn't work with MiKTeX 2.9, eg I get Documentation for hyperref.sty could not be found.

comment Use beamer in article mode with hyperref
I think the method you are using is deprecated. To create an article version, I think you should use \documentclass{scrartcl} and \usepackage{beamerarticle} instead of \documentclass[class=...]{beamer} and \usepackage{beamerbasearticle}.

comment Hide button after it's selected in Beamer
It's fine, even encouraged, to go ahead and answer your own question. However, if there is still some part that is unsolved, you might like to edit your achievements into your question instead, and make it clear what you would still like help with.

comment TeXStudio and TortoiseSVN
I am not quite clear about what you are asking. Recent versions of TortoiseSVN come with the standard command line SVN binaries as part of the installer package (no need for SlikSVN binaries too), and so if TeXStudio supports svn, it should work with TortoiseSVN. Perhaps you are hoping that TeXStudio can launch the appropriate TortoiseSVN dialogs instead, for which a different CLI is provided? If there are any settings dialogs in TeXStudio for SVN command line tools, then it should be possible (please post screenshots/links). Otherwise, I agree with Joseph that this is a feature request.

comment Absolute positioning in beamer when using `show notes on second screen`: text on wrong page
@Thomas: Sorry, I didn't intend you to add that to your document, I was just pointing out how the template is defined initially by beamer to explain where I got the 1.8em correction factor from.

Welcome to TeX.sx! The suggestions posted as comments to this one will probably help you: tex.stackexchange.com/q/67292. If you have a copy of your file before the recent changes, can you still compile that? Or any other file? Chances are that there is some error(s) in your tex file and TeXStudio cannot cope. Hence we cannot help without seeing your attempts to identify and fix the error in your code, in the form of an MWE. Compiling via the command line should reveal those errors more reliably.

comment How to merge several files in LaTeX
Your chapter 2 appears to be missing \end{table} at the end, and now \newcommand{\head}[1]{\textbf{#1}} appears in both your main document and your preamble. It is not clear what you are doing when you say "compile individual Chapter 2", and "combine it to the main file". When TeX reports an error, you should normally get a file and line number associated to help you find out where the problem lies.
