Hi Taco, thank you for this interesting insight!
Now, I’m still stuck with my main concern, "inlining" the entries.
And I need a way to get entries like "Cover" into the list, since \writetoregister doesn’t seem to be defined in MkIV.
Best, Hraban

Hi Hraban,
Here is what I can do at short notice. After this, I would probably just cut&paste the final result back in after some tweaking. In any case, I am out of time right now.
Good luck, Taco
\newif\iffirstFIDXpage
\def\textcommand#1{#1\global\firstFIDXpagetrue} \def\pagecommand#1{\iffirstFIDXpage (p.~\fi \global\firstFIDXpagefalse #1} \def\stopregisterpages{)\dostoptagged\endgroup}
\defineregister[fidx] \setupregister[fidx][% n=1, align=no, %alternative=B, compress=yes, indicator=no, textcommand=\textcommand, pagecommand=\pagecommand, distance=0.5em, before={}, after={}, prefix=none]

: Hi Hraban,
I would be happy to help with this (i've done some registers in the past myself), but I will need a test file to play with...
Best wishes, Taco

: Hi wizards,
in my current book projects I need a list of figure references, ordered by author and page number. Like this:
Photos: Hans Hagen (p.1,4,6,7), Taco Hoekwater (p.2,12–20), Hraban Ramm (p.3ff.)
How can I do that? I.e. - How can I assign an author name/reference to a figure? – How can I output that list?
About like this?:
\placefigure[top][someref]{\externalfigure[somepic]}\reference[someref]{Hraban Ramm}
\ref[t][someref] (\at{p.}[someref]) % put this in some command that is called by \listoffigures ?
Extension: I need to integrate some unnumbered pages into the list, like the cover.
Ok, I can use registers for that:
\defineregister[fidx] \setupregister[fidx][% n=1, compress=yes, indicator=no, distance=0.5em, before={}, after={,}, prefix=none, ] \setupheadtext[fidx=Figures]
I can influence the order like \fidx[spinoza]{Baruch Spinoza}, great.
That gets me as far as:
Hraban 2–3, 5, 7, 9–10, 12, 14, 16–17, 19, 21, 23–24, 26, 28, 30–31, 33, 35 Picasso 1–2, 4–5, 8–9, 11–12, 15–16, 18–19, 22–23, 25–26, 29–30, 32–33
But I’d like to have
Hraban (p.2–3, 5, 7, 9–10, 12, 14, 16–17, 19, 21, 23–24, 26, 28, 30–31, 33, 35), Picasso (p.1–2, 4–5, 8–9, 11–12, 15–16, 18–19, 22–23, 25–26, 29–30, 32–33)
For inserting a page name like "Cover" I tried \writetoregister[fidx][Picasso]{Cover}
But \writetoregister is undefined!? (As well as \writetofidx)
What else can I use?
