Yes, I knew that. Adding the full path inside the \externalfigure
works. But I would like to access picture files by separately
adressing directory and filename, not combining them explicitely.
\setupexternalfigures[directory=..] was made for this. The annoying
thing is that \setupexternalfigures and \externalfigure apparently do
not work seamlessly together.
