[XeLaTeX] Use a different output folder for temporary files

Post by MoonKid »

When running XeLaTeX a lot of extra files are generated. Is there a way to put them automaticly in a sub-folder (e.g. .out)?

I extended the compiler options with
-output-directory=.out

Now the compiler path is C:\texlive\2016\bin\win32\xelatex.exe.
And the compiler options are -synctex=-1 -interaction=nonstopmode "%wm" -output-directory=.out.

I also tried out and ./out.

It has no effect. No error. And I tried it at commandline calling xelatex direct. No effect, no error message.

You could try absolute paths: -output-directory=C:\out And/or -aux-directory=C:\out.

No effect. No error. In combination and just one of each. :(
