[Feature Request] Output Directory Settings #196

Closed Sytronik closed 1 year ago

Sytronik commented 5 years ago

Hi, Can you make a setting item for output directory? Of course I could use pdflatex -output-directory= option or latexmk -outdir= option, however in that case, atom-latex cannot open the output pdf file. It seems atom-latex assumes the output file is in the same directory as the root TeX file.

I think this feature is beneficial for many people. Thanks.

+1, I just debugged automatic opening. Had to put latexmk && mv build/main.pdf ./ as custom toolchain. That is however restricted to the specific setup and not portable across projects. While the best solution would clearly be to set the output directory within this package, maybe someone here knows if there is a way to add a post-build hook to latexmkrc. That way we could at least have a perl function handle this instead of changing the toolchain for every project.
