Comment #16 on issue 635 by wbsoft: PDF automatic deletion is unconvenient on GNU/Linux
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=635
That would be a nice idea. I don't know how to code that unfortunately. The file would not need to be deleted in scm/backend-library.scm, but GhostScript is the one that's going to write to the output PDF. So LilyPond should then just call gs and is that fails with some 'cant write to output pdf' error, delete the PDF file and then try again. But that's hairy too, because there could be other reasons for failing to
write to a file, besides it being opened by another application... -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
