Usually my project and environment have the same name, but different prefix (in my weird nomenclature). >>> 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".

Of course. But in most of my projects I have several products (e.g. magazine issues, books of a series), and with a prefix I can keep all the products together and list them like `ls prd_*.tex`. Not only my contextproject.py but also my call scripts relay on my naming scheme. And since I use it in my main projects, I use it everywhere (if I use the project structure at all). >> That contradicts the mode approach.

You don’t need to know the name before ConTeXt creates the PDF, because it uses the original filename and only renames the files (pdf, tuc, log) afterwards. Or misunderstood I something?
