Hi Mojca,

first thanks for your hints and testing my TestFile.

While creating different examinations this weekend  for my students I 
ran again in trap using tables. But this time I did not use any macro. 
Just two simple tables.


The example works with  context : ver: 2005.01.31
but not with  ConTeXt ver: 2006.08.22

The main problem is that \placetable with \startcombination ... does not 
work!

 I always thought that only \externalfigure[\jobname-buffername.tmp]
 works properly. But then I figured out that in my MikTeX distribution
 \externalfigure[buffername.tmp] works and
 \externalfigure[\jobname-buffername.tmp] doesn't and in the standalone
 with latest beta it's exactly vice-versa. Seems like partially
 backward-compatibility problem in either case. Hans?

   

ok: extra check added and reuse disabled:

\def\checkfortexfigurefiles 
  {\doifinset\wantedfiguretype{\c!tex,\c!tmp}
 {\let\wantedfiguretypespec\wantedfiguretype}%
   \doifinset\wantedfiguretypespec{\c!tex,\c!tmp,\v!buffer}
 {\doshowfigurestate{type check : forcing tex (\wantedfiguretypespec)}%

  \let\wantedfiguretypespec\wantedfiguretypespec
  \let\@@efobject\v!no
  \doifnothing\wantedfiguretype{\let\wantedfiguretype\c!tmp}%
  % there can be a non buffer \jobname.tmp (made by texexec)
  \doifnotinstring{^\bufferprefix}{^\wantedfigurename}
{\edef\wantedfigurename{\bufferprefix\wantedfigurename

Same error here, even with MikTeX with 20060822. Perhaps an error in
macro (either in yours or in Hans's; how old are the other
distributions where your file compiles OK)?

 after that I changed in my table-macro
 first row: \NC\AR to \NC\FR
 last row: : \NC\AR to \NC\LR

That is (or at least should be?) only formatting issue. At least I
thought so. I have no idea why replacing \AR with \FR/\LR fixes the
problem.

 running texexec --pdf TestFile2.tex

You didn't attach it, but I also needed to make  a small change in
your file to make it work:

comment this line:
%\def\StopPersDatTab{\stoptables\stop}

uncomment this one:
\def\StopPersDatTab{\NC\use{2}\ReFormat[l]{}\NC\LR\stoptables\stop}

 I get no error, but
 1. placetable ... \externalfigure[buffername.tmp]  does not work
getbuffer produce the table

I always thought that only \externalfigure[\jobname-buffername.tmp]
works properly. But then I figured out that in my MikTeX distribution
\externalfigure[buffername.tmp] works and
\externalfigure[\jobname-buffername.tmp] doesn't and in the standalone
with latest beta it's exactly vice-versa. Seems like partially
backward-compatibility problem in either case. Hans?

 Is it an installation problem?

Bear in mind that you have the latest beta installed on your Mac and
probably some older distros on other computers (but that should not
make that much difference; if it does, it's a bug). If there's
something about installation: well, it would be nice if you managed to
enable texmfstart (but it should work without that as well). Apart
from that probably nothing worth mentioning.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt problem on Mac mini

Hi all,

I have problems with ConTeXt on my Mac mini (intel-platform).

I have no idea what to do?

Is it an installation problem?
or is something wrong with my macros?

every hint is welcome
and thanks for help
