Hello,
Thanks for your help !

Of course !

 Here is the content of my init.lua
:


textadept.run.compile_commands.tex = 'mtxrun --autogenerate --script
context --autopdf --purge "%f"'

textadept.file_types.extensions.tex = 'context'


buffer:set_theme('dark', {font = 'Monospace', fontsize = 14})



When I compile a file test.tex (Maj + Ctrl + R), I get the expected file
test.pdf in my home directory; file that I open with Evince. What I would
like, if possible, is an automatic opening of this file after
compilation. Here's
what I get in the messages tab :

mtx-context | pdfview methods: auto default okular pdfxcview sumatra,
current method: sumatra (directives_pdfview_method)
pdfview | command: wine "sumatrapdf.exe" -reuse-instance -bg-color 0xCCCCCC
"wolfgang-1.pdf" 1> / dev / null 2> / dev / null &
system | total runtime: 1.624 seconds

If I compile a second time, still no automatic output from the file
test.pdf.
 On the other hand, if I do Crtl + R test.tex, the file test.pdf opens with
xdg-open :

> exit status: 0
> xdg-open "wolfgang-1.pdf"
File name empty!
The specified Application package is not valid.
/ usr / bin / xdg-open: line 881: x-www-browser: command not found
> exit status: 0


Thanks
