Input path to include external files with vim module

Input path to include external files with vim module

[Marco]

Hi,

does the vim module have a feature to specify the input path,
similar to \usepath for context files or \setupexternalfigures
[directory=…] for graphics? 

I'm looking for a solution not to hard-code paths into my files.
Example:

\usemodule [vim]
\definevimtyping [XML] [syntax=xml]

\starttext
  \typeXMLfile{code/foo.xml} % what I do now
  %\typeXMLfile{foo.xml}     % what is desired
\stoptext


Marco

Currently, it does not.

I'll see how easy it is to hook into the code for \usepath etc. It might 
be best to add this feature to the filter module, but I'll have to come up 
with another key as `directory` is already taken to specify output 
directory.

@Hans: Can we make the following change in file-res.lua

     if isfile(fname) then
         if trace_files then
             report_files("found on extra path: %s",fname) --AM: was name
         end
         fnd = fname --- AM: was name
         break
     end

Then, getreadfilename("any", ".", name) will always return the location of the found
file. This is also consistent with the behavior when the file is found in ../ or
../../ directories.

This change should not affect the \readfilename macros and will allow me to use

     \def\externalfilter@any_filename#1%
         {\ctxcommand{getreadfilename("any",".","#1")}}

to search for a file (even if it is in the path specified by \usepath).

Thanks.

@Marco: In the next version of t-filter (and by inheritence t-vim), the 
local files will also be searched in \usepath locations.

Thus you can use:

\usepath[list-of, paths]

\starttext
\process<fillter>file{file-in-path}

\type<vim>file{file-in-path}
\stoptext

For the moment, this is MkIV only feature.

If you want to experiment, make the above change in file-res.lua, 
regenerate the formats, and use t-filter.mkiv from github.

Thanks a million. I'm surprised that this feature needs so little
change in the source.

> For the moment, this is MkIV only feature.

Since this is a new feature and not a bug fix I see no need to keep
MkII and MkIV in sync. For new projects I use MkIV since quite some
time and the MkII projects are in danger of extinction.

I will test it and report back if things break.

Hooking into existing ConTeXt code is easy :)

Actually, I added suport for MkII as well. It was not that difficult after 
all.
