Hello,

I need to identify number of pages by Lua of an image which is to be inserted.

The image can be of all various types supported by Ctx - e.g. .png, .pdf.

I've been using the following code so far (based on a mailing thread in the 
past):

----
function nOfPages(fn)
  local fig = figures.push{name = fn}
    local info = figures.identify()

    figures.check()

    local n = fig.used.pages
  figures.pop()

  return n
end
----

But the code above break Ctx in the case that the image doesn't exist.

I'd need to modify the solution somehow so to return 'nil' or 'false' (or a 
error message) in the case the file was not found.

How to do it?

TIA.

Best regards,

Lukas
