Hi all! I know that ConTeXt looks for files *higher*in the directory tree when it doesn't find them. But is there a way to tell ConTeXt to specifically look for files lower in the tree? One of my project - a dictionary - will involve thousands of component files, as the best way to manage its production is to keep every entry in an individual component file. But I'm a sucker for orderly and clean directories. I'd really like to group all my stuff into several subdirectories, below my main file. :-) Is it possible, or am I grasping at straws here? Thanks! Jeff

in mkiv we can consider such a feature because we no longer depend on kpse Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

That would be great. :-) I've been sticking with mkii+XeTeX but that would be enough for me to make the switch, whenever it's advisable (say, when it's considered "production ready") and if I can fundamentally keep my older stuff as is (not sure about that). Jeff

You can set subdirectories with \usepath and \usesubpath. Wolfgang

Oh, wow, that does the work too! Marvelous. I found how they worked in very old posts... 2003! I didn't even know about *LaTeX* at this time. ;-) Thanks a lot. You guys are the best user manual ever! Jeff
