Hi Hans and gang,
For a future ConTeXt, would it be possible to add support for the --back
option for pdfopen/pdfclose? See
http://magic.aladdin.cs.cmu.edu/2005/07/15/pdfopen-and-pdfclose/
This will allow you to automatically return to the page of the pdf you
were working on at the moment you close it. There are some caveats for
working with mutiple pdf's but it's a nice feature to have.
Best wishes
Idris

well, then make sure that the version in distributions support it
>pdfopen --help
Usage:
pdfopen --file <filename> [--page <page>]
Opens <filename> (at page <page> if available)
in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
pdfclose --file <filename>
Closes <filename> in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
pdfclose --all
Closes all documents in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
Beware: only documents opened by `pdfopen' can be closed
by `pdfclose'.

:-) But that's exactly my point, the pdfopen that comes with the distro
does not support --back :-)
This would be a really nice feature to have, if we can implement it (or
just use/improve Woo's code)...
