Building to just the PDF file

Post by sgsawant »

When I click the "quick build" button in Kile, the following file types are created along with the PDF file:
  • .bbl
  • .blg
  • .aux
  • .log
  • .out
Is there a way to clear these files? They simply crowd up my folder, and at present I have no use for them. I was looking for script or some configuration option in Kile 2.0 by which these files are not created (or are deleted immediately after creation). I was able to do such a thing in Notepad++ (a Notepad++ script which deleted the other file types [apart from the *.tex and the *.pdf] is there somewhere on the internet).

Regards,

You should not make the mistake to underestimate the meaning of these files. They contain very important information for the entire compilation process. Nevertheless Kile should offer a corresponding entry in the »Build« menu to cleanup up the working folder.
