Thanks again! That does it.

However, it seems strange that the \externalfigure command does not accept a space in front of the file name nor after the file extension, while \input is very tolerant in that respect. Compare

\input   knuth.tex   
\input knuth.tex
\input{knuth.tex}

which are all accepted, while when there is a space after the extension,

\startplacefigure[number=no]
	\externalfigure[hacker.jpg ]
\stopplacefigure

or a space before the filename 

\startplacefigure[number=no]
	\externalfigure[ hacker.jpg]
\stopplacefigure

then ConTeXt does not recognize the file…
Maybe Hans has a reason to explain this behavior, but it is not clear to me.

Best regards: OK
