[Tex/LaTex] How to set latexmk to clean directory

latexmk

I know I can tweak $clean_ext setting inside .latexmkrc to clean specific files when invoking latexmk -c. However, it doesn't work for directory.

The directory I want to clean is _minted-<main document name>. I have tried _minted-%R, ./_minted-%R, ./_minted-%R/*. None of them work.

The only currently available solution is to turn off caching in minted using \usepackage[cache=false]{minted}.

@JohnCollins: unlink_or_move in latexmk.pl does not handle recursive directory removal as well.

I look at the man page again and found the solution. The call should be:

This is not an answer, but an email from John Collins, saying that it will be possible in the future.

Good idea.

Unfortunately, it somewhat conflicts with another request, which is to allow the patterns in $clean_ext to be regular expressions (regexps). The wildcard idea is easier to implement, but the regexp idea gives finer control over the files to be deleted, which is needed in some situations.

In any case, the suggestion of allowing wildcards or regexps in the patterns is on my list of future enhancements.
