不是一个文件: {path}

Error message

不是一个文件: {path}

What it means

Second precondition of MarkdownConverter._validate_file: the path exists but is not a regular file (directory, symlink-to-dir, special file), raising ValueError('不是一个文件: <path>'). Means the earlier existence check passed and the type check is what failed.

Solutions

1. Enumerate the directory's *.pdf files and convert each individually
2. Fix the upstream path construction so the file (not its parent) is passed
3. Validate in the UI that the selection is a file

Example fix

// before
converter.convert('papers/')  # 不是一个文件

// after
for pdf in Path('papers').glob('*.pdf'):
    if pdf.is_file():
        converter.convert(pdf)

from pathlib import Path

p = Path(target)
if p.is_dir():
    raise ValueError('pass a PDF file, not its folder')

from pathlib import Path

def is_regular_pdf(v) -> bool:
    p = Path(v)
    return p.is_file() and not p.is_dir() and p.suffix.lower() == '.pdf'

try:
    md = converter.convert(p)
except ValueError as e:
    if '不是一个文件' in str(e) and p.is_dir():
        for pdf in sorted(p.glob('*.pdf')): convert_one(pdf)
    else: raise

When it happens

Trigger: Passing a directory containing PDFs; an output path accidentally used as input; a glob pattern that matched a directory.

Common situations: Batch UIs allowing folder selection; users pasting the containing folder instead of the file.
