[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 239 bytes --]

similar to this for figures

\setupexternalfigures
  [directory={./myfigures}]

is there a way to specify a directory for tex files so with

\input{myfile.tex}

the file myfile.tex can be placed in a subdirectory for example
./mytexfiles?

\usepath[...]

\usesubpath[...]

What's the difference between the two versions?

When you have a document where all files are in folder two level deep 
like here you can use both commands to tell ConTeXt where to look for 
the files.


/document
|
|   main.tex
|
|---chapter
|   |
|   |---file_system
|   |       ntfs.tex
|   |       fat32.tex
|   |
|   |---installation
|           windows.tex
|           linux.tex
|
|---images
         windows.jpg
         linux.jpg
         macos.jpg


The setup for the example above would be:

	\usepath[chapter]

	\usesubpath[file_system,installation]


When you use this lookup limit the number of paths and subpaths because 
it slows compilation down, there reason for this is that ConTeXt tries 
path + subpath combinations until the requested file is found.
