I do not like this file pollution, so I added the following to my
.emacs:
(setq TeX-auto-local ".prv_auto/")
(setq TeX-region ".prv_region_")
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(defun preview-dump-file-name (file)
"Make a file name suitable for dumping from FILE."
(if file
(concat (file-name-directory file)
".prv_"
(file-name-nondirectory file))
".prv_texput"))))
This forces AUCTeX to save all preview-related files in hidden
files and directories that start with ".prv_" (I also have a
crontab entry that removes these automatically once in while).
IMHO this is a much saner behavior, which I would like to see as
AUCTeX's default.
Best regards,
