That (not deleting tuc file) is delebrate (as it saves time in successive runs). If you want to delete the tuc file, you can use --purgeall instead of --purge.

Thanks Aditya: actually that utility file .tuc can be deleted for some situations (for instance when one does a small test) and kept for others. Maybe for those who do not use ConTeXt from a Terminal, but rather from editors like TeXShop or TeXWorks, one could have a feature to pass typesetting options to mkiv, for instance like a \setuptypesetting command, to be put in the first five lines of a document, which accepts various parameters such as for example \setuptypesetting[purge=yes,synctex={yes,zipped},engine=mkiv]

to pass options to mkiv. But this is probably too complicated.

the job is already running and one needs tex to parse such commands there are two ways (rather old features btw) to control a job: - some directives can be given on the first line of a file - you can make a jobname.ctx file (there are a few examples in the distribution) the last one is the most flexible as there can be a file per job or a shared one 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
