In fact, the question is just: how to use \appliedfigureoptions and
\appliedfigurefilename? In the following test-file, \appliedfigureoptions
shows nothing and \appliedfigurefilename gives an error:
\starttext
\externalfigure[/opt/teTeX/texmf-local/tex/context/sample/spider][width=1cm]
\appliedfigureoptions
%\appliedfigurefilename
%% ERROR: Undefined control sequence.
%% \appliedfigurefilename ->\@@effilename
\stoptext

Nevertheless I send here attached the new t-degrade.tex, in order to let
you see how I want to use these two macros.

Another question: when there are two files ./fig.eps and ./degrade/fig.eps
how can I tell ConTeXt to prefer loading the second figure when using
\externalfigure[fig][options] ?
It seems, that \setupexternalfigures[directory={degrade,.}] does not
help...

Greetings, Peter
