inline MP refresh problem

inline MP refresh problem

[Eckhart Guthöhrlein]

Hi all,

when I change inline MP graphics, these are not recreated during the
subsequent texexec run. I need to call texexec once again to have them
refreshed.
I have just installed a new box, but I think I have thought of the usual
stuff in texmf.cnf and cont-sys.tex, and I am a little clueless at the
moment. So thanks for any hints what might be the problem.
My versions:
pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) from tetex 3.0
ConTeXt  ver: 2005.07.21  fmt: 2005.7.25  int: english  mes: english

Greetings,
Eckhart

how do you define the graphic?

\startreusableMPgraphic{kreis}
	fill fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor red;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\starttext
	\reuseMPgraphic{kreis}
\stoptext

When I remove 'withcolor red', nothing changes until the second texexec
invocation.

it runs ok in newtexexec -) 

it has to do with the rather weak checksum calculation (i took that code from an example which - in retrospect- was crap, i.e. it does not really calculate a checksum -) 

i rewrote that part of texexec (assuming that nowadays the md5 library is part of perl distributions) 

i'll send you a file to test

It still doesn't work here. There have been complaints about arguments
not numeric on line 1889, but changing == to eq had no influence on the
final result. Still need an additional run.
As you said, the problem does not occur when you use runtime MP
processing, and would have gone unnoticed if I had not forgotten to
switch it on..

I remember that the old checksumming code checked every other line,
not all lines. Is that the problem perhaps?
