I must apologize for not reading and testing thoroughly. Indeed the output
filename is perfectly predictable, once you know the meaning of "output
filename".
However, for the image formats, it is against expectations, and not consistent
with the manual, which states:
<span class="quote">> The image formats (PNG, JPEG, and TIFF) generate one file per page
> with the page number and file type appended to output-file
> (except when -singlefile is used). When the output format is a vector
> format (PDF, PS, EPS, and SVG) or when -singlefile is used,
> output-file is the full filename</span >
Despite this, using -singlefile does append the file type, thus output-file is
not a "full filename".</pre>
