#985 Limit preview files

[Stefan]

I really like the live preview of texstudio (Alt+P), but I noticed an annoying problem: During a longer session, the number of files in /tmp grows easily to several GB. However, since /tmp is nowadays mostly mounted as tmpfs, this space is quite limited (in my case 4GB).

Is there a possibility to limit the amount of files, which are created? Since texstudio deletes all files on exit (btw, this takes ages on my machine), I guess there is already some internal bookkeeping.

TeXstudio 2.10.8 (hg 5802:5ee1d048e556)
Using Qt Version 5.5.1, compiled with Qt 5.5.1 R

No, you cannot control this from within TXS.

Probably the most simple solution is to write a shell script to delete these files and call it from within TXS,
