Is there anyone in the #TeXLaTeX community who could test something for me?
I've updated my #MikTeX installation for the first time in six months, and now my imakeidx setup has ceased to work.
To be precise, it only works if a particular index has three or less entries - and it gets buggy if it has four or more entries. And I _cannot_ figure out why.
I would appreciate it if anyone can replicate this error. And if anyone has a solution, I'd be all ears!

[1/2] A bit techy, but relevant to writers in all fields.
In the 1970s, computer scientist #DonaldKnuth was unhappy with the quality of the #typesetting for his books. Being #Knuth, he wrote a new programming language to do the job on the computer. This is #TeX, the programme, pronounced "tek" or "tech". An active community develops user-friendly higher-level packages, called #TeXLaTeX.
There are free implementations for most environments. On Windows I use the #MikTex app.

Zu Testzwecken installiere ich gerade ein #miktex als portable Installation.
Die Anleitung dazu sagt:
- Download the installer (basic-miktex-*.exe)
- Rename the installer to miktex-portable.exeUnd ja das Ding macht wirklich abhängig vom Dateinamen komplett unterschiedliche Dinge.
