Hi, I'm struggling to get an older ConTeXt file that worked well under TeXLive 2008, but not any more with ConTeXt minimals! I've installed the ConTeXt minimals (Mark IV!) (MTXrun | current version: 2010.07.30 11:35) recently. I've a file someplot.1 in a directory called /home/somewhere. The ConTeXt source file contains the command: \setupexternalfigures [directory={/home/somewhere}] in the preamble. The image file is called using: \leftaligned{\externalfigure[someplot.1][scale=100]} But no image is presented in the generated pdf-file! However, all jpg-type of images that I use in the document - using similar commands - are all rendered correctly! What's wrong? Anybody any idea? Regards, Gerard Verhaag

What's the file format of someplot.1? MetaPost, EPS? Maybe some automatic preprocessing fails. (see also http://wiki.contextgarden.net/File_Formats) Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

It was generated with MetaPost about 2 years ago!
