A work-around:

\setupexternalfigures[location=default] \setupindenting[yes,medium]

\define[1]\PlaceFigure{ \startplacefigure[number=no, location={page}, title={}] \externalfigure[#1] \stopplacefigure \\ \vskip-1em }

\starttext \input{ward} \PlaceFigure{cow} \input{ward} \stoptext

The wiki states:

\setupindenting does not take care of indenting after environments, such as ConTeXt's itemizes, enumerations, definitions, formulas and floats.

The work-around forces the new line using \\, then immediately skips back a line.

Thanks for sharing your approach. In meantime I've found an alternative solution: ... \stopplacefigure \indentation % this command forces the indentation of the next first paragraph Jan
