Hello! I'm afraid the answer wiil be 'no' but... I've just tested two, let say 'normal', ways of including external figures: -- settings in texmf.cnf (that is obvious) -- relative path in \useexternalfigure (that is obvious only for ConTeXt users :-) Is there any way to use absolute path for external figure in ConTeXt code? Is there any way to use environment variable in ConTeXt code? Regards, Paweł
