I’d like to configure the default behaviour of "context --autopdf";
since on my Mac I must always write "--autopdf=auto", otherwise context
tries to call
wine "sumatrapdf.exe" -reuse-instance -bg-color 0xCCCCCC
instead of e.g. "open".
There’s a hint about "directives_pdfview_method", so I wanted to find
out more about directives:
"context --showdirectives" looks promising;
it tells me "result saved in file:
.../texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/mtx-context-setters.pdf", but
that file isn’t there; it is actually in the current directory, but broken.
* How can I configure the command for --autopdf ? (Something in
texmfcnf.lua?)
* Can we add additional options ("pdfview methods: auto default okular
pdfxcview sumatra"), e.g. open (should be default on Mac), xdg-open
(could be default on Linux)...
* What’s wrong with --showdirectives?
Hraban

it's more a side effect, we need to run context to get them

you can try to set it in the cnf:
-- ["pdfview.method"] = "sumatra",

i'll fix the show variant, just use --directives

Oops, I didn’t see that line.
But I can’t set it to "open" or any other custom command; "auto" works.
