does the vim module have a feature to specify the input path, similar to \usepath for context files or \setupexternalfigures [directory=…] for graphics?

@Hans: Can we make the following change in file-res.lua if isfile(fname) then if trace_files then report_files("found on extra path: %s",fname) --AM: was name end fnd = fname --- AM: was name break end Then, getreadfilename("any", ".", name) will always return the location of the found file. This is also consistent with the behavior when the file is found in ../ or ../../ directories. This change should not affect the \readfilename macros and will allow me to use \def\externalfilter@any_filename#1% {\ctxcommand{getreadfilename("any",".","#1")}} to search for a file (even if it is in the path specified by \usepath).

sure, just call it a bug -)

Thanks. @Marco: In the next version of t-filter (and by inheritence t-vim), the local files will also be searched in \usepath locations. Thus you can use: \usepath[list-of, paths] \starttext \process<fillter>file{file-in-path} \type<vim>file{file-in-path} \stoptext For the moment, this is MkIV only feature. If you want to experiment, make the above change in file-res.lua, regenerate the formats, and use t-filter.mkiv from github. Aditya

Thanks a million. I'm surprised that this feature needs so little change in the source.

Hooking into existing ConTeXt code is easy :)

Since this is a new feature and not a bug fix I see no need to keep MkII and MkIV in sync. For new projects I use MkIV since quite some time and the MkII projects are in danger of extinction.

Actually, I added suport for MkII as well. It was not that difficult after all.

I will test it and report back if things break.
