I always hide the log file window when writing my articles for clarity, showing only the LaTeX and PDF documents. However, every time I quick build my LaTeX file, the log file window pops up and I have to close it each time.

Is there a way to disable the "popup" of the log file window?

  • Are you hiding it using the button on the status bar? Usually, if it is hidden and during the compilation, some problem happens, it will bi visible at the end. – Sigur May 19 '15 at 07:34
  • I'm hiding using my unselecting the "View > Message/Log file" option. – solalito May 19 '15 at 07:40

Tick this box

In settings of texmaker (which has the same interface for windows/mac as far as I'm aware) and ticking the box to stop launching new instances in the 'Quick Build' settings does what you describe.

  • That seems like it would affect the pdf viewer, not the log file viewer. But there's probably a similar shortcut elsewhere. – Teepeemm Sep 27 '18 at 11:28

    sinerlCk is right : the messages/log will pop up only if there are errors in the code. Otherwise it stays hidden... – Jean Mar 26 '20 at 11:30
