Search path for external figures changed

Search path for external figures changed

[Marco Patzer]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 430 bytes --]

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

default: texmftree
local  : relative to source
global : path list

these can be combined

the reason for the previous less strict situation was that there was 
always a fallback to the standard resolver as side effect of url support 
.. consider that a bug

How to include MP graphics sitting in a dedicated directory, e.g.
“graphs”?

%% file: graphs/foo.mp
beginfig(1);
  fill unitsquare scaled 2cm withcolor red;
endfig;

%% file: test.tex
\setupexternalfigures
  [directory=graphs,
   %% location=???,
  ]

\startMPrun
  %% including the path works
  %% input graphs/foo.mp;

  input foo.mp;
\stopMPrun

\starttext
  \externalfigure [mprun.1]
\stoptext

Hi Marco,

i think that ou have to specify the path completely

\setupexternalfigures[directory={/Users/willi/Documents/BOEDE/Logos}]

That does not work for me, does this work on you machine?

Even if it would work, mandating an absolute path is wrong in my
opinion. This would break the document if you move it around the
directory tree or if you send it to someone.

It still doesn't work for me. Here is a complete example:

\startbuffer [foo]
beginfig(1);
  fill unitsquare scaled 2cm withcolor red;
endfig;
\stopbuffer

\luacode{lfs.mkdir"graphics"}

\savebuffer
  [list=foo,
   file=graphics/foo.mp,
   prefix=no]

\setupexternalfigures
  [directory=graphics,
   location={global,local}]

\startMPrun
  %% works
  %% input graphics/foo;

  %% fails
  input foo;
\stopMPrun

\starttext
  \externalfigure [mprun.1]
\stoptext
