well, is someone chooses 'default' i.e. --autopdf=default then the
pdfopen and pdfclose commands are used and these will use the system
defaults; i can add 'auto' to do 'start' and 'open' but i'm not going to
bother then with something close (which isn't available on all systems
anyway)
to be honest. i wasn't aware if anyone using --autopdf anyway and i
mostly made it for my own edit/view cycle with scite, and the defaults
there are my personal ones and users can easilly override them in a user
properties file (so anyone not satisfied with my choices can set the
preference to --autopdf=default there and get whatever (probably
acrobat) is set up there (and then start fighting version clash startup
differences)
i expect most users to use their personal favourite editor and be able
to configure the run context command (and is one omits the --autopdf
viewing is completely up to the editor / os: as said, i only added
--autopdf because it's handy in scite)
