Heck:
It would be easy enough to check here if the cite engine exists. But
perhaps the better thing to do would be to create a 'dummy' cite
engine file when we initially notice that the requested cite engine
does not exist? I'm not familiar enough with this code to know what
is best.
See attached patch. This falls back to basic if we need a cite engine (in the
document dialog which would otherwise crash as well on opening).
Citations do look odd, but this is intentional, as basic is in many cases not
the correct cite engine (since we do not know whether the missing one is
bibntex or biblatex, we cannot guess here).
That is similar to what we do with missing layout files so makes sense.
It is a strange case, so perhaps we should wait for 2.5.1? It happened
to me when trying to debug the other problem I reported: I was using
master, and my custom cite engine was not in the user directory I use
for that. But it could easily happen if I shared the file with someone.
