[Tex/LaTex] lualatex does not work with import/subimport when used in standalone setup

importluatexstandalone

Using TL 2015. I have this setup

main.tex
folderA/a.tex
        a.png

and using standalone to combine both documents. The file a.tex has an includesgraphics{a.png} where the file a.png is in the same folder as a.tex

I use standalone and import and subimport to combine both files into one file as documented. The above compiles ok with pdflatex but fails with lualatex.

MWE

main.tex

\documentclass[12pt,notitlepage]{article}
\usepackage{standalone}%  
\usepackage{import}  
\usepackage{graphicx}  

\begin{document}  
\subimport*{folderA/}{a}  
\end{document}

a.tex (in subfolder called folderA)

\documentclass[11pt]{article}%
\usepackage{standalone} 
\standalonetrue   
\usepackage{graphicx}  
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{a.png}  
\end{document}

Here is the result:

  pdflatex  main.tex
  ....
  Output written on main.pdf (1 page, 22036 bytes).
  Transcript written on main.log

No error. Now using lualatex:

lualatex main.tex
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238) 
 restricted \write18 enabled.
(./main.tex
....
(/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/kvdefinekeys.sty))
(/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latexconfig/epstopdf-sys.cfg))
(./folderA/a.tex

! Package pdftex.def Error: File `folderA/a.png' not found.

See the pdftex.def package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              

l.7 \includegraphics{a.png}

I need to use lualatex for other reasons. Doing lualatex a.tex works with no error. But I need to combine them into one document and still use lualatex

What is the problem and how to fix it? Does lualatex not work with import package?

The reason is that \pdftexversion in luaTeX is changed. As a workaround until pdftex.def is updated, try for example:

% main.tex
\documentclass[12pt,notitlepage]{article}
\usepackage{ifluatex}
\ifluatex\def\pdftexversion{140}\fi
... ...

[Tex/LaTex] ShareLatex – Error on import/include a .tex with algorithm2e into another .tex with prosa

I now am using the following workaround (i call it that way because it causes circumstances).

ever algorithm has its own tex file but without any preamble and without includes etc.
this way I cannot compile these files directly but need another tex using \input and all neccessary includes to compile this file
- this is cumbersome because I always need to change the tex for compiling when just changed a little on the pseudo-code

this way my code-tex is looking like this:

\begin{algorithm}
...
\end{algorithm

these "wrapper-tex" is looking like this:

\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{import}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage[linesnumbered,ruled]{algorithm2e}

\begin{document}

\import{Algo}{MyAlgo.tex}

\end{document}

For not getting the line pitch of the surrounding document I use \renewcommand before unsing input on the code and after it again to setting it back. When the code does not fit into the line latex display text, which actually occurs after the input, before the code itself (on the previous page if theres enough space left for text but not for code). I got it by adding a \newpage after the input of the code.

Using include does not show my pseudo code at all. My include that way looks like:

\begin{flushleft}

some text
...
again some text

\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.0}

\input{Algo/MyAlog.tex}

\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}


\newpage

againagainsometext
...
u know
\end{flushleft}
...

I had also problems because in the tex with my texts I defined 12pt fontsize while I didn at first on my code-wrapper. The pseudocode that way was enlarged after inputting it. Resizing it using recommendations of these Reduce pseudocode font size (not global) or othere did not help very much, I surrendered after over an hour trying so I reduced my pseudocode by dividing it into multiple/ separate algorithms and by deleting code commentary.

[Tex/LaTex] standalone does not work with algorithms

For those who may be interested in the solution, this is the code I ended up using:

\documentclass[preview,border=5pt]{standalone}
\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames,svgnames,table]{xcolor} % use color
\usepackage{algpseudocode}
\usepackage{mathtools}
