*synctex.gz files not moved to output directory #464

Closed werunom closed 6 years ago

werunom commented 6 years ago

Expected behaviour If I have provided a specific folder for Output Directory, all the files generated during the execution of build command for test.tex except the test.pdf file should be moved to the output directory.

Observed behaviour All the files are moved to the output director, except the test.synctex.gz file.

Not sure whether this is an expected behaviour. But felt this is not a clean implementation. In my setup, the output directory lies outside the project folder. By doing this, I make sure my project folder consists of only the essential files. But with this file hanging around, I have to manually delete it. The latex:clean command removes only the files from the output directory and does not remove this file within the project folder.

Moreover, synctex.gz file is not that important, I have to add exceptions for this file extension in git and other sync operations.

Excuse! I realized there is an option to disable synctex. Also...realized the importance of keeping the synctex file in the same folder.
