[Vim-latex-devel] wish list

[Javier R. <jer...@gm...>]

Hi,

There is something that i'd like to see implemented in a future in vim 
latex, and I wanted to see if it gets enough interest from the user's 
community to go on and ask /more/ things to the dev team, or to see if 
somebody has a workaround for this

The thing is an autoclean feature; when you close the tex file, vim should 
delete the whole bunch of auxiliar files (.toc, .log, .out, etc) created 
during work. I've tried with autocommands with no success to achieve this.

This will not be too hard to do. I'd be willing to put it into
Vim-Latex if someone could write something up. It would involve
catching the VimLeave autocommand and using the Tex_GetMainFileName()
function. I am thinking that it will be annoying if it happens on the
BufLeave autocommand because that happens every time you open a new
file...
