Export path about ff_libharu HOT 5 CLOSED

I can expose HPDF_STATUS to show if PDF created or not with its details.
But I don't think just checking directory with UE in function is a good solution.
Because users can expect automatic actions from plugin.
These kinds of validations should be done from users.

Bool return value is not fair in this case. It return True even PDF is not created because of invalid path

No, I am agree with you about return value. I will change it. I say I just won't use unreal's api to check folders.
Return value will be bool + string error code based on HPDF_RESULT.
If path is not avaible, it will return false + "4119 or 1017"

I will look at how can I give a more meaningful outcode than integer based codes.

And I said users should check their path, because they will decide what will be next step if there is a path problem ?
if they detect any problem, they can create that path, they can save pdf to a default path or they can throw an error.

I agree with you in this case but in my case i should create path by myself so i will use unreal for this purpose. Thank you for fast answer

okay done and pushed.

If there is an error (not just paths but anything), it won't return true and there is an OutCode string output to say you what's going on.

OutCode is a hexademical value and you can check them from here.

but as I say before, it will be wise to do validations by yourself. Because it will just give you false and error code but not take any action to continue operation.
