Deleting "-temp" files

Deleting "-temp" files

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

context --purgeall deletes all temporary files (i.e., files containing 
"-temp-"). In fact, I had requested this feature so that the filter module 
does not clutter the current directory with temporary files.

However, there is a bug. ConTeXt deletes all files containg "-temp" (note 
the missing "-" at the end). So,

$ touch A1-temperature.tex
$ context --purgeall

gives

mtx-context     | purged files: A1-temperature.tex

AFAICS, mtx-context.lua is correct. It contains "-temp-" as expected.
So, I don't know why files containing "-temp" are deleted.

Aditya

hm, shouldn't

local special_runfiles = {
     "-mpgraph", "-mprun", "-temp-"
}

be:

local special_runfiles = {
     "%-mpgraph", "%-mprun", "%-temp%-"
}

can you test that?
