Hmm, since ConTeXt is so good in finding components and
environments i thought that finding figures should not
that problem. Setting up a specific directory is not
a solution if different authors (with different directory
structure) work on the same document.

I thought that the parsing could be done with TeXUtil (Perl). Is there
no Perl-Module (maybe a wrapper for pdflib by Thomas Merz) that allows
efficient parsing? But, I see that this way still consumes too much
time (for a 500M file). Thus, having the xml-file in place sounds
like the better solution.

Can you give some examples what enhanced functionality is available
then, please.
Many thanks,
