Hi, consider a folder containing foo.tex and foo.mp. Suppose that, when compiled, foo.mp outputs foo.1. Then, the following:
texexec foo.tex mptopdf foo.mp
will end up having foo.pdf deleted. I guess this is because mptopdf creates foo.pdf out of foo.mp *and then* renames it into foo-1.mp. Is it true? Is there a workaround (something like -jobname), other than using different names?
no, unless i patch (or rewrite mptopdf) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
