Hi Hans, you write a while ago the macro \doifigureelse but to bad it's not working and it gives me always the true value. \setupexternalfigures[location=global] \starttext \doiffigureelse{cow}{\externalfigure[cow]}{Not found} \doiffigureelse{kuh}{\externalfigure[kuh]}{Not found} \stoptext Thanks and regards, Wolfgang
