@mattleff This is probably not top priority. But currently we are building all Thai books with both pdf and InDesign files every time there is a PR. We have 5 PP books, LBF, and MB that are all rebuilt each time. Sometimes the builds take 5+ minutes to finish. If we could only rebuild when the book we are working for or .tooling is updated, that would save 5+ minutes a day and more importantly, save being distracted. (What happens is that I get up because I don't want to wait and then 5+ minutes ends up being 20 or 30 minutes.)
@bountonw Ok, so there's two issues here:
Most of my work is in PP. But I am having to wait for LBF to render when making a change to a PP book. Again, this isn't top priority. Having an in house way of type setting that doesn't depend on adobe is more important. I am not able to share what is completed and ready to share in either Thai or Lao. Having a per chapter build wouldn't even be bad. That would reduce the build and we would only be dealing with the chapters that are updating. I wouldn't mind waiting for a build so much if I was only waiting for what I needed and not the entire system.
Currently, a minor change to one file initiates a 5+ minute build cycle where all pdfs are rebuilt. Can we separate this out so that only
.tooling
triggers a major rebuild, otherwise only books are rebuilt when changes to that book are made.
