[AUCTeX-devel] Deleting generated intermediate files in Emacs+AUCTeX

[Angelo Graziosi]

Let us consider the following example, using current CVS Emacs 23.1 and
current AUCTeX CVS.

The directory Foo_dir contains Foo.tex (the main file of a document),
and the directory FrontBackmatter which contains TitlePage.tex:

$ ls -lrtR Foo_dir
...
-rw-r--r-- 1 ... 948 Sep 29 00:07 Foo.tex
drwxr-xr-x+ 2 ... 0 Sep 29 10:25  FrontBackmatter

Foo_dir/FrontBackmatter:
totale 9
...
-rw-r--r-- 1 ... 707 Sep 28 23:54 TitlePage.tex


Foo.tex includes TitlePage.tex with:

\include{FrontBackmatter/TitlePage}

In Foo.tex there is:

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:

while in TitlePage.tex:

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: "../Foo"
%%% End:

Building the document, it creates Foo.log and Foo.aux in Foo_dir, and
TitlePage.aux in FrontBackmatter.

When I decide to delete the generated intermediate files, it deletes
only those in Foo_dir not those in FrontBackmatter, even if I repeat the
operation (clik on toolbar delete icon) from the frame/window
containing TitlePage.tex.

Is the above behaviour to be expected?

Cheers,
   Angelo.
