Me, too. Especially since recompiling everything is expensive, and many people use includeonly to have faster compilation. In trunk, I have therefore added a switch "maintain counters" that basically provides option 2 or 3. The other two options are already available with buffer-view and master-buffer-view (without includeonly). > Independent of this, caching *.aux files will save some otherwise needed > (second or third) latex runs in any case and also with standalone documents.
