similar to this for figures

\setupexternalfigures [directory={./myfigures}]

is there a way to specify a directory for tex files so with

\input{myfile.tex}

the file myfile.tex can be placed in a subdirectory for example ./mytexfiles?

\usepath[...]

and

\usesubpath[...]

What's the difference between the two versions?

When you have a document where all files are in folder two level deep like here you can use both commands to tell ConTeXt where to look for the files.

/document | | main.tex | |---chapter | | | |---file_system | | ntfs.tex | | fat32.tex | | | |---installation | windows.tex | linux.tex | |---images windows.jpg linux.jpg macos.jpg

The setup for the example above would be:

\usepath[chapter]

\usesubpath[file_system,installation]

When you use this lookup limit the number of paths and subpaths because it slows compilation down, there reason for this is that ConTeXt tries path + subpath combinations until the requested file is found.
