How should I deal with these temporary files? If the original latex file is document.tex then the temporary files generated by latex will be document.[aux,log,toc] (sometimes there are more if there are errors, or bibtex files) - but I'm not currently checking to see if files by these names are already in /tmp ... so I might be overwriting some other log file.
Should I create a subdirectory in /tmp (maybe the name of which is the md5sum of document.tex??) compile into that directory (so the .dvi file and all the temporary files go in there) and then rm -r /tmp/[directory] ? _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
