I force nobody to use that. > 2. Use the result option on the command line, e.g. "context > --result=myfilename prd_filename.tex". But that still produces a "prd_filename.*" first and then renames it, making it impossible to keep a "prd_filename.pdf". Or did that change recently? My workflows are adapted to that behaviour: "prd_*.pdf" is just the temporary version, none of those leaves my computer, but only nicely named PDFs (usually MyProductName_yyyy-mm-dd.pdf). > 3.

It would be nice if we could set (or can we?) the result from within the product, depending on a mode – since the product is renamed only later anyway, that could be viable.
