Pdfselect in texexec not working!?

Pdfselect in texexec not working!?

[Verhaag, G.C.H.M.]

Hi,

I use ConTeXt minimals (MkIV, MTXrun | current version: 2011.01.18 
19:34) and want to select a few pages from a larger pdf-file using the 
familiar --pdfselect switch from texexec.

However this option is not working any more; the run ends with the 
following error message:

.....
(\end occurred inside a group at level 1)

### simple group (level 1) entered at line 17 ({)
### bottom level
No pages of output.
Transcript written on texexec.log.
TeXExec | runtime: 1.237985

Perhaps something has changed of which I am unaware?

Regards,
Gerard Verhaag

You have to update. This has been fixed (and discussed 
here).

also, there is now a mkiv variant:

context --extra=select --help

(in due time all those texexec extras will become mkiv ones i.e. no 
longer hard coded in the script but a special sort of style)

Hi,

Sorry for bothering you all again about selecting pages to print!

Yesterday I updated and now use ConTeXt  ver: 2011.01.26 11:02 MKIV  
fmt: 2011.1.26!

When I enter the command:

             context --extra=select --help

no output is generated!

When I enter for example the command

             context --extra=combine --help

a set of options is described as aspected!

The subject was discussed in this forum according to Hans, but I can't 
find it, sorry!

Regards
Gerard Verhaag
