Changing your project options

Kile only has a few options that can be set related to your project. To change your project options, right-click on the title of your project and select "Project Options" and you will have the option of changing:

Archiving your project

Kile allows you to easily backup your project by archiving all the projects files into a single archive. To archive your project right-click on the project name in the Files and Projects view or select Project->Archive.

By default all files in a project are added to the archive. If you don't want to include a certain file in the archive, right-click on this file in the Files and Projects view and uncheck the "Include in archive" option.

Archive commands are shell commands that are executed from the project directory (where the .kilepr file is located). Special commands when using archive:

  • %S : This used to replace the filename of your project file (without the .kilepr extension)

  • %F : This command is used to replace the list of files needed to be included in the archive

Extensions for non-source files

Non-source files are files such as pictures, PDF files, postscript, etc. that specify which files are to be considered as included in the project, but aren't source files such as files with the extension .tex. For example, a PDF file is a non-source file because you can create a PDF from a file with a .tex extension. Users also have the option to use their own regular expressions to match non-source files.
