[texworks] Distiller

[David Arnold]

All,

Almost. I now have the settings shown in the attached texworks3.tiff. And it works, sort of.

Some problems:

1. If Distiller is already open, a second copy of Distiller is opened.

2. When Distiller opens, I get the warning popup shown in the attached texworks4.tiff.

3. When I close the popup, Distiller proceeds and distills the file.

4. My /tmp directory is starting to fill with these temporary folders:

drwxr-xr-x  3 darnold   wheel    102 Jan 19 19:06 altpdflatex.5590-1263956790

Any ideas for curing this behavior?

David.
