The next beta will have this extra 'feature':
\showframe
\setuplayout
[location=middle,
width=middle,
height=middle,
cropoffset=auto,
trimoffset=1bp,
bleedoffset=2bp,
artoffset=2bp]
\starttext
\definepapersize[TestA][width=100bp,height=200bp]
\definepapersize[TestB][width=150bp,height=250bp]
\setuppapersize[TestA][TestB]
test
\stoptext
The auto option only works with layout=middle (message otherwise) as I'm
not going to add all kind of extra calculation code to an already bit
overloaded mechanism deep down. The offset are accumulative (so crop <
trim < bleed < art). In Haralds case cropoffset=auto should be enough.
The default crop and trimbox handling is unchanged (as it would
complicate my own workflows and also breaks compatibility) so one really
needs to set this when it's needed. The already present
interactionscreen cropping is unchanged.
