The location of _region_.tex seems to be pretty much hard-coded. It's written by `TeX-region-create' which is called in `preview-region'. If you wanted to experiment with that, you could set the `nondirectory' parameter of `TeX-region-file' in the call to `TeX-region-create' and provide a directory yourself. I'm not sure if moving _region_.tex to another directory makes much sense, though, because compilation of the file will fail if it loads files from the master directory. And such a situation is not uncommon. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
