Noisy Output: Could not create directory "plantuml-images"

[lixueyi83]

I am continue getting this noisy message, Could not create directory "plantuml-images", when the plantuml-images folder was already created previously.

This is the command I convert markdown to pdf

    pandoc --filter=pandoc-plantuml test.md -o test.pdf

There are a couple of plantuml in the test.md file, run the above command twice. It seems for the first plantuml diagram, pandoc will create the folder since it's not there... But when pandoc tries to convert the 2nd plantuml diagram, it still trying th create the folder and then it starts complaining.

But it's the https://github.com/jgm/pandocfilters/blob/5c6c1954401099f64e36e0fa52e29b27a52f581b/pandocfilters.py#L52 issue.

And it should be addressed in the pandocfilters jgm/pandocfilters#109

Well, actually, in the case of @lixueyi83 it's an outdated pandocfilters jgm/pandocfilters@4da2c73

But still, the current code is supposed to spam the error somehow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
