Hello,
I'm trying to use some MetaPost-generated graphics with ConTeXt, but I seem to be unable to do so. I have a file test.1 in the same directory as the ConTeXt source, which is as minimal as:
\starttext \input tufte \placefigure[left] {Esempio di settore circolare} {\externalfigure[test.1]} \input knuth \stoptext
but it seems like it can't find the file test (no extension); I tried adding options [type=mps] or [method=mps] or both, but each fails with a different error: either it looks for test.mps or it looks for test.unknown ...
The macro \calculateexternalfigure seems to set the extension to empty if the figure file name is the same as the jobname: % redo message, only filename \doifparentfileelse\@@effilename {\@EA\removefromcommalist\@EA{\jobsuffix}\figuretypes \let\@@efextension\empty \showmessage\m!figures9\@@effilename \donefalse} \donothing (core-fig.tex) Therefore it does not search for your nonstandard extension.
