context --purgeall filename does not delete all temporary files

context --purgeall filename does not delete all temporary files

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

`context --purgeall filename` behaves differently from `context --purgeall`.

`context --purgeall` deletes all files with the name `*-temp-*`. I would have thought that `context --purgeall filename` will delete all files with the name `\jobname-temp-*` but it does not.

Is there a way to delete the `\jobname-temp-*` files without requiring an extra `context --purgeall` run? This is needed for deleting extra files by `t-filter` module or deleting extra files generated by automatic EPS to PDF conversion (with figures.cachepaths.prefix="\jobname-temp"), etc.

Thanks,
Aditya

As an aside, I also noticed that in both mkiv and lmtx, mtx-context.lua has

local extra_runfiles = {
     "^l_m_t_x_.-%.pdf$",
}

but graph-inc.lua has

local defaultprefix     = "m_k_i_v_"

So, the default generated files are never deleted.
