Hello, I have the following situation.
One source file is to be converted by Ctx normally and secondly with a special mode, e.g. "--mode=PageOneOnly". I'd like to get two result with: (1) Context.exe source.mkiv -> should give 'Source.pdf', (2) Context.exe source.mkiv --mode=PageOneOnly --result=Source-Pg1.pdf -> to give 'Source-Pg1.pdf'. The problem is that the option "--result=..." just renames the result; it means, if the 'Source.pdf' has been created by (1), it would be OVERWRITTEN by (2), as (2) normally processes 'source.mkiv' to 'source.pdf' in the first phase and renames it after. So the question is - is there a better way which would PRESERVE the <file>.pdf if <file>.mkiv is to be processed and '--result=<another-file>' is being used? Or (question for developers) - wouldn't be better to work directly with an output stream(s) name based on '--result=...' option, and to take the source file name for the output stream name ONLY in case that '--result=...' was not specified? (This would also mean to create other support file(s), like 'Source-Pg1.log', 'Source-Pg1.tuc' - IMHO this would be OK.) Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.
