Hi all!
I know that ConTeXt looks for files *higher*in the directory tree when
it doesn't find them. But is there a way to tell ConTeXt to
specifically look for files lower in the tree? One of my project - a
dictionary - will involve thousands of component files, as the best
way to manage its production is to keep every entry in an individual
component file. But I'm a sucker for orderly and clean directories.
I'd really like to group all my stuff into several subdirectories,
below my main file. :-)
Is it possible, or am I grasping at straws here?
Thanks!
Jeff

in mkiv we can consider such a feature because we no longer depend on kpse

You can set subdirectories with \usepath and \usesubpath.

Oh, wow, that does the work too! Marvelous. I found how they worked in
very old posts... 2003! I didn't even know about *LaTeX* at this time.
;-)
Thanks a lot. You guys are the best user manual ever!
