Hi, I have a (simplified) project structure like this:

root-folder /asset /tex /results /source

My tex file is stored under assets, the source is an xml file under source, the pdf should be saved under results.

If I call context from within the assets folder, the pdf is created as expected, but if I call context from the results folder, I get an error message saying that the xml file is not found. As the file is created properly when I call context from the assets folder, I assume context performs lookups based on the calling location (not the file location). Is that correct? Is there a simple way to call context from the results folder and still have the sources found, or do I have to call context from the assets folder and copy/move the result afterwards?

(Untested): Context also searches for a file in the parent folder and grand- parent folder. So, something like

\input assets/file.tex

or

\processxmlfile{source/file.xml}

should work when called from the results folder.

I'll need to check if that still applies, but IIRC, context searches parent folders for environments, but not when using \input. Don't know about processxmlfile though. Best, Denis
