Dear Hans, I compile ConTeXt documents with --purgeall, but if I save buffers into files and typeset those files or I typeset buffers directly, these files aren’t purged after successful compilation. Would it be possible to enable an option (such as --purgebuffers) that removes all buffer files generated by that compilation? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

--purgeall deletes all `*-temp-*.tmp` files from a directory. So, one option (that I use in the filter module) is to use that structure while naming your temporary files.

IIRC, in t-gnuplot, Mojca had used a macro to store the name of all the generated buffers and some test code (or maybe just the idea) to store them the tuc file so that they get deleted by context/texexec. Aditya

\ctxlua{luatex.registertempfile("yourfile.xxx")} \edef\MyTempFile{\cldcontext{luatex.registertempfile("yourfile",true)}} registered files will be deleted at the end of a job ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
