I usually use a makefile for this.
There I have build rule that first cds into the target directory, then calls context from there.
Best

Betreff: [NTG-context] Can ConTeXt write its pdf to a different directory?
My .tex file is in a directory within my working directory. I would like ConTeXt to write its output in the same directory as my .tex file. But it writes to the working directory.
This was asked 10 years ago:
`tex.stackexchange.com/questions/67928/how-to-set-output-directory-in-context-command`
The answer given then was to use:
`context filename --result=output-directory/filename`
But this doesn't work now. When I compile my .tex file, I get a message:
`results are to be on the running path, not on 'output-directory', ignoring --result`
I've looked in the wiki:
`https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context`
Thank you,
Peter
