Dear all,

I made a minimal sample project illustrating the issue.

Note that the figures in the two folders are different, and  
individually referenced by the two TeX files in the folders,
but come out as the same  image.
In older versions  of ConTeX  (before 2007) the different figures were  
used.

So far I have been using the TeXlive distributions (on a Mac) and  
shied away from the minimals. I am not a terminal
person, and while I can use it, I do it rarely and forget instantly  
what I did.

I am just trying to update to something more recent than the last 2008  
TeXlive distribution and
get my old projects to look similar to what they looked a few years  
back.
If you tell me I have to use the minimals for that, well, I'll give it  
a shot.

Matthias
