The information that \externalfigure should be replaced by \XeTeXpicfile is misleading. It is a temporary solution for the bug (I didn't test recently, but I had serious prolems with inclusion of binary figures and newer PDF file versions), but not a general rule. The bug should be fixed if it still exists, rather than asking people to rewrite their sources to low-level commands.
I completely agree, but nobody replied to my post when I complained.
. So my temporary workaround was to save the photos again in some other program. But it should be fixed.)
Ok, but this is not a better solution. It's only cleaner from a ConTeXt point of view. So you do not modify the sources but because of the bug you modify 200 jpgs. In any case, as I have written, I had not output problems with \externalfigure, but the rli generation needed many texexec calls to be completed and was too slow (even if only for the first time). Instead, I had no luck at all with pdfs inclusion. So, my idea would be to clearly specify in the wiki entry that it's a momentary workaround. -a- -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - DAMS Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> andrea.valle@unito.it -------------------------------------------------- I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information. (Annabel Chong)
