Re: hanging on missing picture

[Otared Kavian <otared@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I did the test with your code both with mkii and mkiv (version 2011.02.25, 22:03).  In mkii I get what I reported previously and in mkiv I get:
	name : dummy
	file: ./Figuren/figure.xxx
	state: unknown

I have noticed the hanging behaviour of mkiv in some other situations, but actually if I wait long enough mkiv comes back and the typesetting goes through… I had the impression of having a cache problem, since if I remove or rename the folder
	/context-minimal/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache
then mkiv gets lost, despite a new folder being created.

Maybe in your situation there is an analogous condition?

Best regards: OK
