Hi Andrea,
I saw that many tmp .rli files are generated. Apart form the
increasing compiling time, the first problem is that I had to run
several times texexec --xtx in order to generate them all. Is it normal?
This (many .rli files) is normal if you use \externalfigure in an older
version of ConTeXt, but ...
Most important it behaves strangely with layers using pdfs figures.
Color is not applied, or typically they are not shown.
... if you use the special command \XeTeXpicfile or (in this case)
\XeTeXpdffile everything should be OK. I'm not sure how this interacts
with layers (not tested).
HTH,
Jelle
