hello,
I have posted these questions couple of days ago but so far no replies,
so I try again.
1. I would like to have figure numbers running from 1 to n instead of
per chapternumber. I have tried to use \setupcaptions[way=bytext] but
this not work. Taking an example from a previous discussion I still get
Figure 1.1 instead of Figure 1
\starttext
\setupcaptions[way=bytext]
\chapter{test} \placefigure{}{}
\stoptext
2. How do I get the total number of figures or total number of tabels,
or more general totalnumberoffloat.?
3. How do I get the total number of numbered pages (not \lastpage
because this one includes the number of unnumbered pages at the start of
my document, e.q. title page)?
4. Columns: If I put balance=no, the text after stopcolumns is placed on
a new page, which is not what I want. Also, it seems that the height=3cm
does not do anything. Basically, I want to fill the first column first
and continue in the next column after the height or number of lines are
reached. Is this possible?
Regards,
Rob

this is a bug that was solved in the latest version, what version do you
run? This sample runs ok here.

good question, seems that i need to implement that feature; for the moment
say:
\prependtoks
\textreference[totalnoftables]{\ruwenummer[table]}
\textreference[totalnoffigures]{\ruwenummer[figure]}
\to \everylastshipout
\def\totalnoftables {\textreference[totalnoftables]}
\def\totalnoffigures{\textreference[totalnoffigures]}
and submit a feature request to the context bugzilla server
>3. How do I get the total number of numbered pages (not \lastpage

\realfolio
(\realpageno is the raw page counter)

not with this mechanism, but columnset can be told to explictly have a
certain number of lines
(will be documented soon, after i finished a whole range of styles that can
serve as example)

Hans,
Thank you for your suggestions, but not all of them work ok.

OK I have upgraded from version 2002.05.20 to 2002.06.25 and now it
works!

The last lines should be:
\def\totalnoftables {\ref[t][totalnoftables]}
\def\totalnoffigures{\ref[t][totalnoffigures]}
But this works only correct when using
\setupcaptions[way=bytext]
Otherwise the I get the totalnumber of figures of the last chapter!

No. with \realfolio I get the current real page. What I want is the
total number of numbered pages.
Regards,
Rob

\def\lastpagenumber{1}
\def\savenofpages
{\advance\realpageno \minusone
\savecurrentvalue\lastpage{\realfolio}%
\advance\userpageno \minusone
\savecurrentvalue\lastpagenumber{\folio}}%
when you add this to cont-new.tex, you can use \lastpagenumber
