4.6.2 After Sending

After sending the message, Patcher also performs some cleanup operations, that you can customize. The cleanup is controlled by the following project options. Each one is a Boolean option which defaults to t.

:kill-sources-after-sending

Whether to kill source files after sending the message. If nil, the source files will remain visited.

:kill-change-logs-after-sending

Whether to kill ChangeLog files after sending the message. If nil, the ChangeLog files will remain visited.

When Patcher is allowed to kill a source or ChangeLog file, it will only actually kill it if it was responsible for loading it for this particular project in the first place. For instance, if the file was already visited before Patcher was launched, or if another Patcher project is also using the file, then it won't be killed regardless of the value of these options.
