Disclaimer: I don't use Windows, I know nothing about Windows. But I downloaded a Windows 10 VM and fired it up, installed LMTX, created a file (in the default editor): # file name: 10.10.10.tex \starttext foo \stoptext Then I ran install.bat setpath.bat # LMTX context 10.10.10.tex → 10.10.pdf → 10.log # MkIV context --luatex 10.10.10.tex → 10.10.10.pdf → 10.10.10.log So I can't confirm your findings. MkIV works exactly the same on a vanilla Windows 10 VM than it does on a Unix system and produces correct output files with multiple dots. No issues there. > Therefore, Hans never uses such filenames and does not expect them, > either, so I am not surprised that this yields unpredictable results. > > An unfortunate side-effect of dealing with Windows. My short test above seems to suggest that it's not an OS issue since Unix and Windows behave exactly the same. MkIV (which seems to work fine on Windows) as well as the LMTX issue. But maybe I did something wrong there, in that case please let me know. And Hans said “I'll look at it” a while back, so I just wanted to send a reminder. Since it worked in MkIV it looks like a regression. I mean it used to work. Several of my projects rely on source files with multiple dots. I know it's not common to have multiple dots, but I hope there's chance it might be fixed. But maybe Hans can chime in and clarify.

Sorry but this is nonsense. I have seen many files with lots of dots in windows and it works fine. I wouldn't do it in tex, but not because of the OS but because until a few years you could run into problems with some tex applications or macros which didn't expect many dots. -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] LMTX: different output if dots are used in the file name
Windows, I believe, does not take kindly to filenames containing multiple dots. Therefore, Hans never uses such filenames and does not expect them, either, so I am not surprised that this yields unpredictable results. An unfortunate side-effect of dealing with Windows.

[NTG-context] LMTX crashes with source

Hi Ajith, as Aditya mentioned, this version is too old (maybe it even lacks the mlm2 script). This old version won’t be fixed now (I’m afraid).
