Since Makeindex is an ancient program not knowing anything about Unicode and in Croatian there are 8+8 graphemes (letters) which are not ASCII, the sorting of many index entries is wrong. So I have to tweak the .ind-file every time the aux files are trashed, which becomes quite tedious.

Howdy,

Got to my download site, <https://herbs.github.io>, and grab DeleteAuxFilesMacros.plist.zip. Unzip that file. Then Open TeXShop and the Macro Editor (Macros->Open Macro Editor…), Click on Macros->Add macros from file…, drag the .plist file onto the dialog and and press Open. That will get two macros, one that deletes all ``aux'' files and one with a limited delete. If you edit the limited delete macro you'll see a list of extensions to delete. Remove anything you wish to save that's on that list. From then on you can use that macro.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
