Thank you Mojca. The main reason for asking is that I intend to try to convince my employer to adopt ConTeXt as a tool for producing technical documents. In my view, ConTeXt is obviously far superior to MS Word, which we use today, for that purpose. Since ConTeXt represents a way of producing documents that is very different from what our managers are used to, it will, however, be important that ConTeXt doesn't appear more complex than it actually is. A way to hide the abundance of intermediate files from the user would clearly be helpful in that respect. I will give the tools you suggest a try, maybe they are good enough.

Hello,

Is there any way to specify where the intermediate files and log files generated by context end up?

Ideally, I would like my working directory to contain tex and pdf files only. All other files could be stored in a subdirectory. That way all these extra files are kept out of sight but close at hand in case you need them.

I wish I was wrong, but as far as I know you can't do it (yet?), although there have been many requests for it. To remove unneeded files you can use ctxtools --purge [--all] (texutill --purge[all] if you don't have the ruby variant installed yet) although I know that that's not quite the same. (I know some people in LaTeX world who use make files to copy/remove files.)
