Hello,

Maybe I did not understand the problem, but doesn't the code below give you the expected result?:

\setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}]

\starttext

\dorecurse{3}{\input{knuth}}

\placefigure[force]{cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=150mm]}

\input{knuth}

\placefigure[force,page]{one more cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=150mm]}

\placefigure[force,page]{cow again}{\externalfigure[cow][width=150mm]}

\dorecurse{10}{\input{knuth}}

\stoptext

Hi all,

Suppose I have the following document:

\setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}]
\starttext

\dorecurse{3}{\input{knuth}}
\placefigure[top]{cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=150mm]}
\input{knuth}
\placefigure[page]{one more cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=150mm]}
\placefigure[page]{cow again}{\externalfigure[cow][width=150mm]}
\dorecurse{10}{\input{knuth}}
\stoptext

Here I would expect the text flow to continue below the first image,
and then two more images to be positioned on separate pages. Instead I
get no text at all at the page with the Figure 1 and one more
blank page after it. Only after the last image the text flow continues.

Since similar situations are very common for documents which contain
several large illustrations, I would like to know if there are any
workarounds for the problem.
