context --autopdf=auto/default

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hello again!

Hans, could you use "xdg-open" for "—autopdf=auto" on Linux?
That’s more or less the same as "open" on MacOS.

On Windows it’s 'start "" "<file>"' (empty quotes for default program), don’t know if that’s implemented.


"default" is apparently "pdfopen", that doesn’t work on MacOS, at least on my system I get:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/pdfopen
  Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6

You need XQuartz installed for pdfopen to even start on MacOS. But it would still
likely fail with ‘acroread startup failed’, because it is seriously outdated by now.

Best wishes,
Taco

you could also create an alias for in your .bashrc

alias open=xdg-open

it's in l-pdfview.luabut currently we only have a windows / unix split

I have XQuartz, of course, but not the outdated Apple version or any other in /usr/X11/lib, but the MacPorts version in /opt/local/lib (and a few within some Apps).

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC doesn’t use X11 and isn’t callable as acroread, but only as /Applications/Adobe\ Acrobat\ Reader\ DC.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeReader *if* you installed it in /Applications.

I guess you meant acroread on Linux, and there "default" still works.

Right. And also an alias for acroread and/or pdfopen on my Mac.

But since I think it’s useful for a lot of users, I suggest including at least xdg-open for "auto" on Linux.

I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a distinction of systems in mtxrun. (Is it in mtx-context.lua? I didn’t understand the code.)
