Including images in included files in subdirectory

Including images in included files in subdirectory

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

Situation:

Tree structure:

main.tex
subdir/inc.tex
subdir/fig.1

in main .tex

"
\include subdir/inc.tex
"

in subdir/inc.tex

"
\externalfigure[fig.1]
"

texexecing main.tex doesn't find the figure fig.1

subdir/inc.tex must use

"
\externalfigure[subdir/fig.1]
"

for the figure to be found.

IMO this is a bug. Image should be checked for existence
using as base the directory of the current input file
*first*, then in the others.

why don't you specify the path to your figures manually?

\setupexternalfigures[directory={path1/subpath1,path2}]

Buongiorno Giuseppe,

For external figures you should setup the path with
\setupexternalfigures[directory={d:/subdir}]

Kind regards
Willi

Hi,

I agree with Willi and Wolfgang's remarks, but I also agree with
Giuseppe that the behaviour is a bit weird. Assuming context
will not be changed, something about this should be written
down somewhere (in manual or Wiki).

Good point. It's all right if it's WAD (Working As
Designed), but it would be less surprising if it was
documented :)
