I'm working on a project on LaTeX which includes heavy externalization of pgfplots figures, so I've hidden everything in a tex subfolder of the main one and work only there. Every time, though, I have to scan through all the files (they're like an hundred or more) to search my .tex source or my custom .sty files.
I've found the option output-directory and I'm using it, but it only moves the main .log and .aux files, and the .md5 from the externalized figures, however every other .pdf and .log relative to any single figure created with pgfplots is still in the main directory.
I usually compile straight from the shell and use vim to write the files. Can I do this?
*.auxfile in separate folder? – Werner Jan 28 '15 at 20:07.aux,.logfiles to a separate folder, but the question body text says you're already doing this and you want to move externalized figure files instead. Which is it? – Paul Gessler Jan 28 '15 at 20:08.auxand.logbut forgot to change the title. The question still stands for those other files. – yellon Jan 28 '15 at 20:12\tikzexternalize[prefix=figures/]? This will put all files that will be created through the externalization to the given (sub)directory. – Stefan Pinnow Oct 08 '16 at 19:21tikzexternalizeoption, but I forgot I wrote this question, thank you. What should I do? Answer it myself? – yellon Oct 22 '16 at 16:22
