does the vim module have a feature to specify the input path,
similar to \usepath for context files or \setupexternalfigures
[directory=…] for graphics?
@Hans: Can we make the following change in file-res.lua
if isfile(fname) then
         if trace_files then
             report_files("found on extra path: %s",fname) --AM: was name
         end
         fnd = fname --- AM: was name
         break
     end
Then, getreadfilename("any", ".", name) will always return the location
of the found
file. This is also consistent with the behavior when the file is found
in ../ or
../../ directories.
sure, just call it a bug -)
Thanks.

@Marco: In the next version of t-filter (and by inheritence t-vim), the 
local files will also be searched in \usepath locations.

Thus you can use:

\usepath[list-of, paths]

\starttext
\process<fillter>file{file-in-path}

\type<vim>file{file-in-path}
\stoptext

For the moment, this is MkIV only feature.

If you want to experiment, make the above change in file-res.lua, 
regenerate the formats, and use t-filter.mkiv from github.
