My way is to compile into a "shadow copy" which allow use to view the
document even during its compilation.
Once the compilation is done, I close the .pdf, I move the compiled
"shadow copy" to the well-named .pdf and I open it in a viewer.

So I'm trying find a way to redirect ConTeXt to that "shadow copy"...

This should have worked, but for some reason it does not:

context --jobname=shadow main.tex

The output says:

system          > files > jobname 'shadow', input './main', result 'shadow'
.....
mkiv lua stats  > result saved in file: shadow.pdf, compresslevel 3,
objectcompresslevel 3

but no shadow.pdf file is created.

because we do all kind of analysis command line arguments and given filenames and then set variables reflecting paths, input filenames, file types ... (we could probably do some magic with a specific pdf outputfile but i don't like that idea as it's a workaround for a problem that should not be there in the first place .. waste of time and energy)
