Changing your Project's Options

Kile has a few options related to your project that can be set. To change them, right-click on the title of your project and select Project Options, and you will have the option of changing:

The title of your project.
The archive command.
Recognised extensions for non-source files.
The option to use file extensions as regular expressions.

Archiving your Project

Kile allows you to easily backup your project by storing all its files into a single archive (often known as tarball). To archive your project right-click on its name in the Files and Project view, or select Project->Archive.

By default, all files in a project are added to the archive. If you don't want to include a certain file in the archive, right-click on it in the Files and Project view, and uncheck the Include in Archive option.

Archive commands are simple shell commands that are executed from the project folder (where the .kilepr file is located). Some placeholders can be used when writing the archive command:

%S: this is replaced by the name of your project file without the .kilepr extension.
%F: this command is used to replace the list of files to be included in the archive.

Extensions for Non-Source Files

Non-source files are files such as pictures, PDF or postscript files, etc. that are to be included in the project, but are not source files with the extension .tex. You have the option to use your own regular expressions to match non-source files.
