Yes, I strongly suspect it can be adapted. Could you point me > towards the functionality in question? Thanks for you quick reply. It seems that the code was added already 3 years ago. I recall a series of patches and test in which I participated (and I forgot some details). According to the documentation, finally the behavior is controlled by setting the variable TeX-output-dir --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- TeX-output-dir is a variable defined in ‘tex.el’. Its value is "build" Original value was nil The path of the directory where output files should be placed. A relative path is interpreted as being relative to the master file in ‘TeX-master’. The path cannot contain a directory that starts with ’.’. If this variable is nil, the output directory is assumed to be the same as the directory of ‘TeX-master’. Automatically becomes buffer-local when set. This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value satisfies the predicate ‘string-or-null-p’. You can customize this variable. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The point that variable could also be some other name or an absolute path.

All files including the log file are placed in the build directory. I like this TeX-output-dir property a lot since it keeps my directories tidy > Thanks for the feedback! Thanks for your quick reply and the code of course!
