Hi!

LMTX and MkIV behave differently if dots are used in the file name. Example:

printf '%s\n' '\starttext\null\stoptext' > foo.10.tex && context foo.10.tex

MkIV: → foo.10.pdf LMTX: → foo.pdf

Is this intentional?

consider it to be so

That's unfortunate.

1) The editor workflow with simple suffix replacement .tex → .pdf to open the corresponding PDF file doesn't work any more with lmtx. New logic is needed to find the correct pdf file name.

2) A project (of mine) that uses item numbers as file names (containing dots) compile to the same pdf:

MkIV (everything's predictable and fine): 10.10.10.tex → 10.10.10.pdf 10.10.11.tex → 10.10.11.pdf 11.10.11.tex → 11.10.11.pdf

LMTX: 10.10.10.tex → 10.10 (not even a PDF suffix) 10.10.11.tex → 10.10 (file 10.10 is over-written) 11.10.11.tex → 11.10 (no suffix)

MkIV is way more predictable and consistent in that regard. I'll look at it but not today ... first I need to play with some other (neat) stuff and run tests.
