Hello,
Can anybody reproduce the following problem (Taco can't ...):
\startbuffer[pdf-pages]
\starttext
page 1 \page page 2
\stoptext
\stopbuffer
\savebuffer[pdf-pages][pdf-pages.tex]
\executesystemcommand{context pdf-pages; mkdir testdir;
mv pdf-pages.pdf testdir/2*8.pdf}
\starttext
\setupexternalfigures[directory={./testdir}]
\externalfigure[2*8][page=2]
\stoptext
-> !LuaTeX error: PDF inclusion: required page <2> does not exist
No problem with page=1.
No problem with other name for pdf-file (for example "pdftest.pdf"
instead of "2*8.pdf").
No problem, if pdf-file is in current directory instead of "testdir".
My system is latest minimals on linux-amd64.
Cheers, Peter

this works ok here:
\startbuffer[pdf-pages]
\starttext
page 1 \page
page 2 \page
page 3 \page
\stoptext
\stopbuffer
\savebuffer[pdf-pages][pdf-pages.tex]
\executesystemcommand{context pdf-pages}
\executesystemcommand{mkdir testdir}
\executesystemcommand{move /Y pdf-pages.pdf testdir/28.pdf}
\starttext
\setupexternalfigures[directory={./testdir}]
\externalfigure[28][page=3]
\stoptext
so, no * in the filename
however, you can do this
\starttext
\startbuffer[pdf-pages]
\starttext
page 1 \page page 2
\stoptext
\stopbuffer
\typesetbuffer[pdf-pages][page=2,frame=on]
\stoptext
this has the advantage that when the buffer does not change, you get no
new run either

Does this mean, that you can reproduce the problem, or not?
I just want to know, how to compile the context manual, see also here:

i get empty pages in the case of a * but that can be simply because a *

Ok, I can rename the file.
But I think, the behaviour is so strange, that there is somewhere a hidden
bug.
Strange, because 2*8 is the only file in
http://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/arranging
with that problem.
3*8, 5*8, 2*6, 2*7, 2*9 -> ok
1*8, 2*8, 4*8 -> not ok
page=1 -> ok
page=2 -> not ok
file in current directory -> ok
file in ./testdir -> not ok
linux-32bit -> ok (reported by Hongwen)
linux-64bit -> not ok
context run by Taco -> ok
context run by Peter -> not ok :(
Cheers, Peter

Strange indeed. You original test file runs perfectly fine here:

Don't like this kind of filename :)
Sorry, can't help.

Hello,
After some further investigation, I've found that the reason for this problem
is a pdf file in my installation:
/opt/context/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/peter/samples/unten-21478.pdf
So please try "o*w" instead of "2*8", and you'll be able to reproduce the
problem!
But there is still a difference:
texmf-local:
when using "\externalfigure[2*8][page=1]" on my installation, I get really
the first page of 2*8.pdf and not the "unten-21478.pdf".
texmf-context:
when using "\externalfigure[o*w][page=1]" you'll get the cow.
So the question is:
- bug?
- or don't ever use "*" in a filename?
Cheers, Peter

Not on windows, apparently.

in all our projects we normalize to a-z and a dash, otherwise you always

I totally agree. In my own projects I do the same. The question is rather: is
context supposed to support the "*" in filenames, or not.
If yes, context must be enhanced somewhere.
If no, I can add something to the context manual.
And it would be nice, if there was a clear error message. It was really not
obvious to me, that some file in my local tree was the reason for
"!LuaTeX error: PDF inclusion: required page <2> does not exist"
Cheers, Peter

it depends ... in some places I process patterns and then the * is
special in lua so for the moment consider '*' and '?' and such are 'not
to be used in filenames'
