Hi,

I have a folder where I store my tex sources and generated pdfs. The problem is that now it is overflooded with temporary files (top, tuo,log,...).

I remember Hans wrote somewhere that LuaTeX will hold temporary files in memory... But they are still there, on the disk.

Buffers are stored in memory but you need external files for the references, lists (table of content, figures ...).

currently a mkiv run generates: .tui -> becomes .tuo .tua -> becomes .tuc and the context script generates a .top file with options then there is .pdf .log now, the tui/tuo pair will go away once all multipass info is stored in the tua/tuc files that leaves: jobname.tex (mandate) jobname.tua (old multipass) jobname.tuc (new multipass) jobname.top (job options) jobname.pdf (result, mandate) jobname.log (mandate, no way in tex to turn it off) so, it's not that many files at all; ok, i can try to save one of the multipass files (for which i need random access in the file which might be a problem on some os's) and deleting the job/log file can be an option too (as in texexec) but there will always be multipass data (till the moment that we have multiple runs in mem, which is on the agenda for many year sfrom now) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
