this doesn't seem to work well -- at least not within \placefigure I've tried this replacement in my \bild macro which should be equivalent (or better?) % \ifodd\bildpage \def\eo{o}\else \def\eo{e}\fi % \ifodd\bildpage \def\lr{r}\else \def\lr{l}\fi \dontleavehmode\signalrightpage \doifrightpageelse{\def\eo{o}}{\def\eo{e}}% \doifrightpageelse{\def\lr{r}}{\def\lr{r}}% (with and without \dontleavehmode\signalrightpage) and now I get more wrong picture placements for the first picture on some pages... I vaguely remember that {\global\bildpage=\currentreferencerealpage}% {\global\bildpage=\realpageno}% was a hack from Hans to work arround "issues" to get the real page number within those floats ?!
