Hi,

just wondering. Is there a official way to signal ConTeXt from a module, that an extra run is needed?

Hi Peter, some time ago I got this answer from Hans: http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg45820.html (Today the table is “job.variables.tobesaved”.)

Hi Philipp,

that should work. I was planing to save the graphic hash data (id-> file name) as lua file anyway and make use of that data in the following runs (compare new and old hash). Storing a checksum of that file should be all I need then.

Depending on what you want to do, you may be able to delegate all the book keeping to the filter module. Aditya
