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

but no shadow.pdf file is created.
I can fully confirm this behavior;
- the option "--jobname" is not listed when you type "context.exe" (= help), so it seems
like a "hidden" option;
- but ConTeXt seems to use this option somehow, as
"context.exe --jobname=C A.mkiv"
produces
"system > files > jobname 'C', input './A.mkiv', result 'C'"
to the console;
- but the result file is still A.pdf.
- Suggestion: would it be possible to use "--result=OutputFileName" as the name
for the output stream immediately,
i.e. not to produce "default PDF file" + rename it to "OutputFileName"
(= --result),
but to use the "OutputFileName" initially as the output stream?
I guess I explained why I'd like to use "non-default" PDF stream (to allow
working with the default PDF file during the compilation)...
Best regards,
Lukas
(BTW: The PdfXChange Viewer has commands open/close PDF file similar to that of
AR; unlike AR, these commands are still the same as far as I'm using PdfXCh.)
