Subject: No straightforward .png support in ConTeXt?

Hai All,

I just installed ConTeXt (together with web2c win32 TeX from the TeX Live 
CD), and it took my about 4 hours before I had the first .png included. 
Installing web2c was easy (although the install.exe didn't work) but 
manually copying the files was enough. I find web2c far easier to 
use/install that 4AllTeX (which I tried before) but which doesn't work 
quite well outside 4dos.

The main problem was figuring out that I had to use texutil to get the 
sizes correct (this was the first time I tried to use figures within 
context).

The error message context gives in this case is really confusing: "figuur 
. niet te vinden".

Looking through the source this really means that no size for this figure 
could be find.

With latex including a .png figure is really easy. Why is context not able 
to auto-determine the size of .png? I.e. I need a \dogetfiguresizepng. Is 
this routine available somewhere already?

Groetjes,

Berend.
