Storing temporary files in a different location

Storing temporary files in a different location

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

Context places a bunch of temporary files into the same folder where my source and output files are. 
Is there a way to tell texexec to store temporary files in a different location, say, in a \temp folder?

With best regards,
 Vyatcheslav

No, but you can ask texexec to get rid of them at the end of the run 
with

texexec --purge file

Hello Aditya,

Thanks for your reply, but I when I use the command like

texexec --purge EssentialCOM.tex

it purges only one minor file -- mpgraph.mp, as shown in the log below.

I use ConTeXt  ver. 2006.07.14 under MikTeX. (An old enough, but the latest available with an automatic update).
