Hi,
There is a new experimental feature (one of the side effects of
discussions with Alan about bibliographies and using distributed files
in a project structure).
Say that you have this:
test1.tex : uses \component one/test2
one/test2.tex : uses \component two/test3
etc. There can be resources under one/two that test3 needs and one way
out is to add this path to the used paths. Doing that automatically can
result in side effects when multiple resources with the same name are used.
However, we now have a concept of the local job path, so when test2 is
read the jobfile: prefix will use path one, and when reading test3, that
prefix will trigger one/two usage.
For this to work, one has to say:
\usepath[jobfile:]
\setupexternalfigures[directory=jobfile:]
To what extent this all works out well is to be tested.
Hans
ps. file loading related code is somewhat complex because we also need
to support tds/kpse like searching; normally such more direct lookups
kick in early (there are more prefixes and urls are also kind of special)
