Smart compilation disabled by automatic script execution?

Calling individual parts of the compile such as quartus_map, quartus_fit, etc. does not utilize smart compilation. Run "quartus_sh --qhelp" and look at the quartus_sh stuff.

There is an option to determine_smart_action, which it writes to a file. I've never used that before. You can also use "quartus_sh --flow compile", as that should use Smart Recompilation. Of course, it doesn't write out the .sof with the right name.

You could easily just change the name in Tcl "file copy " or re-run the assembler command line after the final flow, so you'd end up with two .sofs, one with the correct name.
