[NTG-context] redirecting temp files (MkII)
Hi all, I use the XeTeX/ConTeXt MkII combi as part of another application. This (Windows) application is installed in the C:\Program Files tree which apparently is marked 'read only' in Vista/Windows 7. Would it be possible to redirect the temp files (*.top, *tui, *.log, *.mp) to a different folder outside C:\Program Files\ ? Texexec.rb comes with an option --tempdir= but that doesn't work. Thanks, Jelle ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Running in c:\temp means that I would have to copy the ConTeXt tree to c:\temp, right? Does it stay there or is c:\temp emptied every so often? (which would mean that I have to copy the whole ConTeXt tree to c:\temp again...) Does this suggestion mean that just setting a tempdir doesn't work (with texexec)? No Hans-trick somewhere?

I'll see if I can run in C:\temp.
