Hi, recently there was a discussion about search paths for external figures. Now I noticed that the search path is much stricter than it used to be and by default only local images are found. Is it intended that images are not searched in the texmf tree unless explicitly told to do so? Example: %% no cow without location=default %% \setupexternalfigures [location=default] \starttext \externalfigure [cow] \stoptext Marco

default: texmftree local : relative to source global : path list these can be combined the reason for the previous less strict situation was that there was always a fallback to the standard resolver as side effect of url support .. consider that a bug Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

How to include MP graphics sitting in a dedicated directory, e.g. “graphs”? %% file: graphs/foo.mp beginfig(1); fill unitsquare scaled 2cm withcolor red; endfig; %% file: test.tex \setupexternalfigures [directory=graphs, %% location=???, ] \startMPrun %% including the path works %% input graphs/foo.mp; input foo.mp; \stopMPrun \starttext \externalfigure [mprun.1] \stoptext Marco
Hi Marco, i think that ou have to specify the path completely \setupexternalfigures[directory={/Users/willi/Documents/BOEDE/Logos}] Willi On Feb 13, 2013, at 2:15 PM, Marco Patzer wrote:

That does not work for me, does this work on you machine? Even if it would work, mandating an absolute path is wrong in my opinion. This would break the document if you move it around the directory tree or if you send it to someone. Marco

It still doesn't work for me. Here is a complete example: \startbuffer [foo] beginfig(1); fill unitsquare scaled 2cm withcolor red; endfig; \stopbuffer \luacode{lfs.mkdir"graphics"} \savebuffer [list=foo, file=graphics/foo.mp, prefix=no] \setupexternalfigures [directory=graphics, location={global,local}] \startMPrun %% works %% input graphics/foo; %% fails input foo; \stopMPrun \starttext \externalfigure [mprun.1] \stoptext Marco
