externalfigure is not finding figures in other directories, and I'm not sure if it's something I've messed up while compiling and testing new Ubuntu edgy backport packages. If I have fig.1 (a metapost eps file) in the current directory, then this test file works fine \starttext \externalfigure[fig.1] \stoptext But context won't find 1/fig.1 even if fig.1 is in the 1/ directory. This test file \starttext \externalfigure[1/fig.1] \stoptext produces this error in the log file systems : begin file test at line 1 figures : figure 1/fig.1 can not be found and a dummy figure. ConTeXt ver: 2007.04.17 12:51 MKII fmt: 2007.5.30 (on Ubuntu/i386) If you have any thoughts or have seen this behavior, let me know. -Sanjoy

have you tried \externalfigure[./1/fig.1] ? Another option is to add the directory to the search path and not to use directories in the name. \setupexternalfigures[directory={% ./1,% ./2,% ../whatever/include}] I use relative and absolute paths in the search path and have no such problems. But I must admit, that I never used directories in the figure name. Greetings, Peter

have you tried
\externalfigure[./1/fig.1] ?
Good thought, although it also did not work. The behavior very strange because the subdirectory specification sort of works if the figure name is 1/fig.2 but not if it is 1/fig.1 or 1/fig.3. I say 'sort of' because it finds the figure and gets the dimensions from the .rli file it makes, but it doesn't include the figure in the PDF. I'm trying \tracingall to see whether I can find what goes wrong.
Another option is to add the directory to the search path and not to use directories in the name.
\setupexternalfigures[directory={% ./1,% ./2,% ../whatever/include}]
Thanks, that works reliably. -Sanjoy `If we are fortunate, Republicans will complete their self-destruction before they extinguish the Constitution and destroy America.' --Paul Roberts, former assistant Treasury Secretary under Reagan

Hi Sanjoy I put this in my env file and all images, external docs are found, assuming that they are in "children" folders of the *.tex doc \setupexternalfigures[directory={img,img/base,doc,doc/ascenseur,doc/elec}] etc I've not tested more than 3 levels of folders. Cheers
