Hi, is there a possibility to get info within the pd patch whether pix_image has successfully loaded an image? I am reading files from a network drive which sometimes is not accessable, and in that case I would like to get an error message from pix_image, or a success message if the image was loaded. any ideas? thanks. marius.
Nothing in the output window ?

yes, I get a message in the output window, but I cannot use the output window to trigger actions within Pd. marius.

There is a way to do this depending on platform. pix_film will load images on OSX (and should on Windows) and it gives the frame count as 1 if loaded or 0 if not through the middle outlet.
Having a status report in the patch itself is useful and worth a look.
oh, good idea! and I also found out that I can use pix_info to detect whether there is an image in the gem chain. marius.

Hallo, marius schebella hat gesagt: // marius schebella wrote:

It's only a workaround, but Hans has written a [stat] external, see CVS/hcs/stat.c You can use it to get file info before trying to load it into pix_image.
