Hi, Possible problem converting SVG to PDF. $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.63 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2016.07.18 16:46 cd $HOME/test $ cat test.tex \setupexternalfigures[ order={svg,pdf,png}, location={local,default,global}, directory={images}, frameoffset=.5em, maxwidth=\makeupwidth, width=\makeupwidth, ] \starttext \placefigure{}{\externalfigure[images/drawing.svg]} \stoptext $ cat images/drawing.svg <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <svg xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" id="svg8" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 210 297" height="297mm" width="210mm"> <defs id="defs2" /> <metadata id="metadata5"> rdf:RDF dc:formatimage/svg+xml http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/StillImage" /> dc:title </metadata> <g id="layer1"> <rect y="8.2261906" x="12.851191" height="137.58333" width="178.40475" id="rect4231" style="color:#000000;display:inline;overflow:visible;visibility:visible;fill:#ffd5d5;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:0.26458332px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-miterlimit:4;stroke-dasharray:none;stroke-dashoffset:0;stroke-opacity:1;marker:none;enable-background:accumulate" /> </g> </svg> $ context test.tex ... logging ... ** (inkscape:19807): WARNING **: File path "--export-pdf=/home/username/temp/images/m_k_i_v_drawing.svg.pdf" includes directory that doesn't exist. ... more logging ... Work Around $ cd images $ inkscape -z drawing.svg --export-pdf=/home/username/temp/images/m_k_i_v_drawing.svg.pdf $ cd .. $ context test.tex No errors. Any ideas how to fix, without manually converting each file first?
