pdf file not found

pdf file not found

[Peter Münster]

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 * 
might not be in a filename on windows

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:

$uname -a 
Linux .... 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun 19 00:07:49 CEST 2010 
x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

$context --version

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 
get into problems esp when graphics come from a third party ... multiple 
spaces in names, funny case mixing, underscores not seen on low res 
displays, mismatches between source and real names, ...

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'
