Hello,
I'm using the following code, mentioned here some time ago, to get some info about PDF:
---- \startluacode figures.getinfo = function(name, page) if type(name) == "string" then name = { name = name, page = page } end if name.name then local data = figures.push(name)
--figures.identify() local ok, res = pcall(figures.identify) print(">>1", ok, res)
--figures.check() local ok, res = pcall(figures.check) print(">>2", ok, res)
figures.pop() return data end end
local data = figures.getinfo("NonExisting.pdf")
\stopluacode ----
The problem is that once the PDF file doesn't exist, the function causes ConTeXt to exit, even when I enclose 'figure.check()' into the 'pcall' (to be handled like try/catch mechanism).
Is there a way so that the function 'figures.getinfo()' does't exit ConTeXt, it just returns 'nil', or even gives info which directories (or even which file types) were searched?
You can use the \doifelsefigure command for a simple check \setupexternalfigure[location={local,global,default}] \starttext \doifelsefigure{cow}{YES}{NO} \doifelsefigure{mill}{YES}{NO} \doifelsefigure{bridge}{YES}{NO} \stoptext or the following stripped down version of the underlying Lua code of the \doifelsefigure command \setupexternalfigure[location={local,global,default}] \starttext \startluacode local cow = figures.getinfo("cow") if figures.get("status","status",0) == 0 then context("NO") context.par() else context("YES") context.par() end local mill = figures.getinfo("mill") if figures.get("status","status",0) == 0 then context("NO") context.par() else context("YES") context.par() end local bridge = figures.getinfo("bridge") if figures.get("status","status",0) == 0 then context("NO") context.par() else context("YES") context.par() end \stopluacode \stoptext Wolfgang
