ConTeXt mkiv and --autopdf option

ConTeXt mkiv and --autopdf option

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello all,
Is it possible to open a PDF file (after compilation of ConTeXt) in 
other PDF viewer which is not the default setting?
I mean change the default choice:

context --autopdf file.tex

to another, for example:

context --viewer=PDFViewer file.tex


I would like to retain the default browser settings, but I would like 
after ConTeXt compilation opened the files with something else.

Thanx Jaroslav

the log mentions:

MTXrun | pdfview methods: default okular xpdf, current method: default, 
MTX_PDFVIEW_METHOD=<unset>

so you can set the method

i could extend --autopdf to accept a method

Thanx Hans,
I have ConTeXt in TL2010 ...
Settings are made in MTX-context.lua  or l-pdfview.lua?
It is necessary to refresh the settings by luatools --generate or 
something like?

Jaroslav

Settings in l-pdfview.lua is (only part):

pdfview = pdfview or { }

local opencalls = {
     ['default'] = "pdfopen --file", -- "pdfopen --back --file"
     ['xpdf']    = "xpdfopen",
}

local closecalls= {
     ['default'] = "pdfclose --file",
     ['xpdf']    = nil,
}

local allcalls = {
     ['default'] = "pdfclose --all",
     ['xpdf']    = nil,
}

if os.type == "windows" then
      opencalls['okular'] = 'start "test" "c:/program 
files/kde/bin/okular.exe" --unique' -- todo: get focus
else
      opencalls['okular'] = 'okular --unique'
end

pdfview.METHOD = "MTX_PDFVIEW_METHOD"
pdfview.method = getenv(pdfview.METHOD) or 'default'
pdfview.method = (opencalls[pdfview.method] and pdfview.method) or 'default'

function pdfview.methods()
     return table.concat(table.sortedkeys(opencalls), " ")
end

No clue as I don't have tl 2010 installed (and no time now to put it in 
a vm). You can try to set the environment variable:

MTX_PDFVIEW_METHOD

Adapting scripts directly that come with context is not a good idea as 
changes will be lost with an update.

A next version of context will also accept --autopdf=<method>

Some day I might also support configuration in texmfcnf.lua.
