Version: Kile 2.1 OS: Windows 7 SP1

I wanted to delete the files that Kile generates at the time it creates a .pdf file from a given .tex file. I can easily compile a program into a .exe file (say using python) to delete all the files from the folder which don't have the extensions I need (I want to keep the .tex, .pdf files, but I haven't found a use for the files having .log .tex~ and other similar extensions).

Is there a way to assign a shortcut or maybe a button in Kile to call that kind of a .exe file?

In my Kile version (2.1.0) I do have a "Settings" Menu which has a "Configure Kile" entry. Then I can configure "Build" and "Tools" execute any program I like. In fact, I have it configured to use either latexmk or my Makefile. You can even add buttons to the quick menu.

  • @FrederickNord May I ask which command you use(d) to configure your latexmk entry? Would a simple latexmk -pdf %.tex (as seen elsewhere in TeX.SE) be enough? – Nikos Alexandris Oct 09 '12 at 21:45
  • @FrederickNord ...or maybe similar to latexmk -bibtex ... (taken from http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/11239/8272)? – Nikos Alexandris Oct 09 '12 at 22:35
  • @FrederickNord Complete your answer by showing your configuration for the command. I cannot get it invoke just make without any options. – user877329 Feb 02 '15 at 11:09
