I'm guessing "the directory in which the tex source file lives", what I often wished TeX used as its search path for relative paths -- the way some (all?) C compilers will when looking for include files.
it depends on your texinputs variable: \setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}] here, default will eventually fall back to tex's input path search \externalfigure[tmp/cow.pdf] but, there need to be a tmp path relative to one of the paths that make up texinputs; in context mkiv we can use more clever methods because there we will have more control over finding and opening files; for now, we depend on what tex and kpse/web2c provide Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
