#1330 Run pdflatex 1 time only

[Anonymous]

When I click on "compile", TexStudio run pdflatex->biber->pdflatex->biber->pdflatex->pdflatex

Then I clicked on Tools->Commands->PdfLatex. TexStudio run pdflatex 3 times (three)

How can I tell TexStudio to run pdflatex 1 time only?

Thanks

This is intentional and, by design of LaTeX, required to obtain a fully updated pdf. See e.g.

If you don't want this behavior, you can deactivate "Rerun contained compilation commands" for "Compile" and for "PDFLatex".

What is the difference between the "Repeat conteined compilation commands" in the "Commands" tabd and in the "Build" tab?

[Tim Hoffmann]

A compilation, such as pdflatex may indicate in it's log, that it wants to be run again (e.g. "Label(s) may have changed. Rerun to get cross-references right."). When "Repeat conteined compilation commands" is activated, TeXstudio checks for these messages and runs the command again.

A command may consist of several subcommands, e.g. "Recompile Bibliography": txs:///compile | txs:///bibliography | txs:///compile, where compile itself may me txs:///pdflatex, which then is a basic command. For every basic or compound command, you can specify if the contained compilation commands do the above checks. This is cumulative. If any of the commands in the hirachy has this activated, the rerun will be done if necessary.

Your suggestions seems not working. With all "Repeat conteined compilation commands" disabled, both in the "Commands" tabd and in the "Build" tab, TexStudio run pdflatex->biber->pdflatex->pdflatex

[Mancuso Raffaele]

Again, if you clear the auxiliary files, TexStudio ignores these settings and run pdflatex->biber->pdflatex->pdflatex

You'll probably have to uncheck Build -> Build Options -> Check and update bibliography before compiling as well.
