The story (in shorthand): was trying to integrate a positional metafun graphic into a presentation. I got no output. I tried making a minimal example file to reproduce the problem, and sure enough, everything went fine. I rebuilt the entire file, by pasting one paragraph of the original file at a time, and I got exactly the output I wanted. [Drumroll] I deleted the original file and everything associated with it [i.e. all those .tui and .tuo etc.], saved the new file from my /tmp directory to my working directory, and -- I got no output again. diff shows that both files are identical. Looking at the logs, there's only one difference I can spot: < \openout5 = `test-mpgraph.mp'. --- > \openout5 = `05.11.08-mpgraph.mp'. 205,206c206,207 < [MP to PDF] (./test-mpgraph.1) [MP to PDF] (./test-mpgraph.2) < [MP to PDF] (./test-mpgraph.3) --- > [MP 05.11.08-mpgraph.1] [MP 05.11.08-mpgraph.2] > [MP 05.11.08-mpgraph.3] 211c212 < systems : end file test at line 426 --- > systems : end file 05.11.08 at line 426 213c214 < [flush and process test-mpgraph.mp afterwards] ) --- > [flush and process 05.11.08-mpgraph.mp afterwards] ) The "MP to PDF" part is missing from the file 05.11.08, which might explain why I don't see anything in the resulting pdf. But why? Can anybody enlighten me why the same file can behave differently? And how I can coax ConTeXt into running this MP to PDF thingy? Thanks Thomas
