Asymptote and Context
I am running context minimals and Asymptote on Windows.This example used to work in the past, but it seems to have stopped working. Is there anything that has changed? \usemodule[filter] \defineexternalfilter [ASY] [filtercommand={asy -tex "context" -outformat pdf -outname \externalfilteroutputfile}, output=\externalfilterbasefile.pdf, cache=yes, readcommand=\ReadImage,] \define[1]\ReadImage{\externalfigure[#1]} \starttext Testing if we can include an asymptote image \startplacefigure[location={here}, title={An Asymptote figure}] \startASY unitsize(1cm); draw((-.1,0) -- (2,0), arrow=Arrow(TeXHead)); draw((0,-.1) -- (0,2), arrow=Arrow(TeXHead)); draw((0,0) .. (1,1) .. (2,sqrt(2))); \stopASY \stopplacefigure \stoptext

I uploaded a new version of the filter module yesterday, but the error below seems unrelated.
\usemodule[filter]
\defineexternalfilter [ASY] [filtercommand={asy -tex "context" -outformat pdf -outname \externalfilteroutputfile}, output=\externalfilterbasefile.pdf, cache=yes, readcommand=\ReadImage,]
Short answer: Change `filtercommand` to `filter`. Long answer: The standard way to specify the command to be executed in each snippet is to use `filtercommand`. This should be the FULL command (as you would run on the command line). So in case of asymptote, it should be: filtercommand={asy -tex context -outformat pdf -outname \externalfilteroutputfile\space \externalfilterinputfile} Since many commands are of the form: command-name <options> input-name a shortcut is provided in the filter module. Instead of saying ... filtercommand={command-name <options> input-name}, ... you can say filter={command-name <options>} In the example that you posted, you are using `filtercommand=....` but the input filename is missing, so asymptote launches an interactive promt.
