If this works, then the docs need some clarification. I'm not exactly
sure what, or I'd do it, but the docs for `image` say: "The path
argument also can be a result of path->main-collects-relative."

Excellent! Thank you, this works (I figured I was making things worse
than they had to be, but man is it intimidating when you start reading

Re: [racket-dev] Scribble: feature request - module paths for image
Does `collection-file-path' work?
Here's a small example:
#lang scribble/base
@image[(collection-file-path "heart.png" "icons")]
I think this is closer to your example (but untested):
#lang scribble/base
@(define (fig name)
(collection-file-path name "book" "figures"))
@image[#:suffixes '(".png" ".pdf") (fig "quick-lists1")]

Yes, for some value of "yes".
This works (specific to my context, but easy to generalize):
#lang scribble/base
@(require racket/runtime-path)
@(require (for-syntax racket/base))
@(define-runtime-module-path-index id 'book)
@(define (fig name)
(path->string
(resolved-module-path-name
(module-path-index-resolve
(module-path-index-join (format "figures/~a" name) id)
@image[#:suffixes '(".png" ".pdf")]{@fig{quick-lists1}}
So for now my problem is solved, but
a) am I making this more complicated than needed?
b) if not, should it really be this complicated?
Thanks,
David

Does define-runtime-path work? Should it?

[racket-dev] Scribble: feature request - module paths for image
I have a scribble document that is built from two distinct locations, which makes using the Scribble image form nearly impossible since it takes a path relative to the build location. (My work around is symbolic links in the file system.) What would solve my problem is the ability to pass a module-path prefix, e.g. (image 'foo/bar/baz "some-image.png"). Does this seem like a sensible thing to add? (BTW, the collects option doesn't help me because I need to reference module locations that are not in the main collection.)
