Request: Make markdown2pdf _not_ make backups of output file #166

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
When using markdown2pdf and you already have a output file you get a backup 
file. I think this feature is more annoying than useful, and the user should 
be able to take care of backup himself.

Especially since this is something created from a source file, where the 
source file should be backed up. You could compare it to the behavior of 
compilers were the object files are overwritten, not much use in a backup of 
it.

Best regards, Gaute

That makes sense.  What about the message "Created so-and-so.pdf".  Would it be
better in your view not to print a message?

The message is OK, if someone doesn't want it they can redirect output to 
/dev/null. 
The most important is the message when something goes wrong and returning a 
error code 
so that when used in scripts, or vim, you have something to work with.
