Subject: mptopdf overwrites and deletes pdf file?
Date: Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:16:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <nvitacolonna-1EB746.21164902022010@news.gmane.org> (raw)

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
