Hi,
consider a folder containing foo.tex and foo.mp. Suppose that, when
compiled, foo.mp outputs foo.1. Then, the following:
texexec foo.tex
mptopdf foo.mp
will end up having foo.pdf deleted. I guess this is because mptopdf
creates foo.pdf out of foo.mp *and then* renames it into foo-1.mp. Is it
true? Is there a workaround (something like -jobname), other than using
different names?
Nicola
