I'm not sure whether I got it right: do you use "context --purgeall" instead of the Windows version of "rm *.log *.tuc" (and other file extensions)? (Sorry, I'm not proficient at Windows shell :-().
indeed, which is quite ok as often tex jobs run on their own path also, there is --purge (without all) that can be used
I guess that "context --purgeall *" would be a better choice, since the user explicitly asks to remove all files with the proper extensions.
even then it would be --pattern="*" as you don't want shell expansion messing things up
Otherwise one might accidentally (as I did yesterday) end deleting log files totally unrelated to ConTeXt or even TeX, such as log files,
sure, so don't use --purgeall then; it's quite unlikely that I will change this behaviour if only because I use it all over the place in scripts Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
