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
