How to get Texmaker to place all files into a folder upon compile

Question

Mac user here. I'm getting too many files whenever I compile a latex document, and so often each time a make a new file I have to make a folder with the same name to put all of the .pdf, .tex, .aux, etc files in just to clear up the finder.

I would prefer it if there were a setting in Texmaker that would automatically place all of the files into a folder with the document name, so that I don't always have to manually do so. Does anyone know of such a setting or other option?

I don't want to stop it putting the files there, I know what they're necessary for, I just want everything to be put in a folder so my documents folder doesn't get so congested. — Nethesis, Jul 02 '16 at 11:39

Normally (that's the way it works under Windows), the Options > Configure menu, TeX commandstab lets you decide if TeXmaker will put all output files in a build subdirectory:

When I do this it throws several 'log file not found's at me. – Nethesis Jul 02 '16 at 12:11
