I just became aware of the fact that a comma in a directory name like "dir, so-and-so" is failing too. No doubt there will be others that are allowed in those names but resist \setupexternalfigures. I guess I will have to live with that. Though Hans might feel tempted to sort it out once and for all..... Hans van der Meer On 13 jan 2010, at 20:34, Hans van der Meer wrote:
Thanks Hans. That does the trick.
Odd by the way, that so many people apparently refrain from using spaces in directory and file names, because this did not surface earlier. It can make things a lot more readable. The habit of avoiding spaces is probably a holdover from old times where OS's were much more restrictive in filenaming. I reckon the next beta will contain this patch, so that I don't have to go through patching hassles when installing a new version.

Hi Hans,
The following works for me both with mkii and mkiv (running Mac OS X 10.6.2).
Yes, I knew that. Adding the full path inside the \externalfigure works. But I would like to access picture files by separately adressing directory and filename, not combining them explicitely. \setupexternalfigures[directory=..] was made for this. The annoying thing is that \setupexternalfigures and \externalfigure apparently do not work seamlessly together.
well, it's not deliberately .. just that i never use paths with spaces in tex workflows so it never got tested
in grph-inc.lua patch the gmatch pattern:
if h[iv["global"]] then for s in gmatch(pathlist,",* *([^,]+)") do if not table.contains(t,s) then t[#t+1] = s end end end
