Is there a configuration (JSON, YAML, ini, anything…) file for pdflatex.exe? I find the following painful:
c:\ pdflatex.exe --shell-escape --enable-write18 --extra-mem-bot=10000000
--stack-size=20000 --synctex=1 --interaction=nonstopmode --include-
directory="C:\Users\hsmyers\Documents\Ultra Fractal 5\Formulas\" fn.tex
It also has the minor problem of an embedded typo that forces pdflatex to emit two stars **
indicating that it is waiting for me to type the file name sigh!
[Edit] This was using MikTeX 2.9's pdflatex from the Win7 Pro's command line.
