Hello,

This should have worked, but for some reason it does not:
context --jobname=shadow main.tex
The output says:
system > files > jobname 'shadow', input './main', result 'shadow' ..... mkiv lua stats > result saved in file: shadow.pdf, compresslevel 3, objectcompresslevel 3
but no shadow.pdf file is created.
I can fully confirm this behavior; - the option "--jobname" is not listed when you type "context.exe" (= help), so it seems like a "hidden" option; - but ConTeXt seems to use this option somehow, as "context.exe --jobname=C A.mkiv" produces "system > files > jobname 'C', input './A.mkiv', result 'C'" to the console; - but the result file is still A.pdf. - Suggestion: would it be possible to use "--result=OutputFileName" as the name for the output stream immediately, i.e. not to produce "default PDF file" + rename it to "OutputFileName" (= --result), but to use the "OutputFileName" initially as the output stream? I guess I explained why I'd like to use "non-default" PDF stream (to allow working with the default PDF file during the compilation)... Best regards, Lukas (BTW: The PdfXChange Viewer has commands open/close PDF file similar to that of AR; unlike AR, these commands are still the same as far as I'm using PdfXCh.)
