Hello, I have been using the following concept in MKII that fails in MKIV: \setupexternalfigures[directory={img,../povray/img}] % OK % desired figure located in "img/fig1.png" \externalfigure[fig1][width=\textwidth] % fails % desired figure located in "../povray/img/x/fig2.png" \externalfigure[x/fig2][width=\textwidth] Mojca (PS: enough MKIV bughunting for today ... back to MKII for a while :)
