Sequentially number figures (even over chapters)

Sequentially number figures (even over chapters)

[Mikael P. Sundqvist]

Dear list,

I want to number my figures sequentially, even over chapters. With the
code below (late(st) minimals and mkiv)

%%% Begin example
\setuphead[chapter][
page=no,
]

\setupcaptions[
way=bytext,
prefixsegments=none,
]

\starttext
\chapter{This is a short chapter}
It contains one figure.
\placefigure[here][none]{A caption.}{\externalfigure[cow][width=4cm]}
\chapter{This is another short chapter}
It contains the same figure.
\placefigure[here][none]{A caption.}{\externalfigure[cow][width=4cm]}
\stoptext
%%% End example

both figures are called "Figure 1". I would expect the second one to
be called Figure 2.

Any ideas?

Best regards, Mikael

\setupcaption

  [way=bytext,
   prefixsegments=none]

Thank you Wolfgang, that works (I must say I do not understand why
\setupcaptions can't be used in the same manner).

Is there somehow I can update the example at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/setupcaptions to the code
working?

Best regards, Mikael
