Hmm, since ConTeXt is so good in finding components and
environments i thought that finding figures should not
that problem. Setting up a specific directory is not
a solution if different authors (with different directory
structure) work on the same document.
hm, actually it's practice here, in order to prevent duplicates, how is 
your directory structure for this doc?
.

    |-- piechartmp-s.tex
    `-- titel-s.tex
the figure lib is the file piechartmp-figures.pdf||xml in the
"figures" directory. The real documents are the piechartmp-a||s.tex
in their own directories. The .tex-files in the base-directory are
the components and document-wide environments.

As you can see, currently there is a sym-link in the base-dir
  piechartmp-figures.xml -> figures/piechartmp-figures.xml
This is because if i use \setupexternalfigures to point to the
 "figures" dir, then the piechartmp-figures.xml in the same
 dir is not found.
 In contrast, if i copy both figure-lib files (pdf and xml)
 in the base-dir, then the pdf-file is not found automatically.

Do you have an idea for a better structure? thanks.
