\setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}]

local : currentdirectory + .. + ../.. global : paths set with 'directory=...' default : tex tree

Hi Wolfgang, I want to draw your attention about what Texshow says \setupexternalfigures: global: the whole current project environment local: this 'directory' option default: the global texmf tree none: actual directory directory: local directory for figure files The differences I see are: 1) 'local' without 'directory' searches within current folder 2) it also searches in upper and 2 levels upper folders. Is it new behaviour for mkiv? Vyatcheslav
