fix for \attachment[method=hidden]
by Pablo Rodriguez 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

Hans, the following sample shows an issue with attachments: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=attachment] \setuppapersize[A5, landscape] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext \input knuth\attachment[file=e.pdf, title=Attachment \letterhash1, author=ConTeXt, subtitle=χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά, method=hidden] \stoptext method=hidden (http://pdf.ousia.tk/attachment-hidden.pdf) doesn’t actually attach the file (http://pdf.ousia.tk/attachment-hidden.png) But method=visible (http://pdf.ousia.tk/attachment-visible.pdf) attachs the file (http://pdf.ousia.tk/attachment-visible.png) I’m afraid that method=hidden was missing subtitle, file and name. I would say that buffer is also missing there, but I don’t know what it is used for. The attached .diff file fixes the issue. I have tested it and it works fine. I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

/UseAttachments and /UseOC for /PageMode
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 May '17

28 May '17

Hans, the attachment contains a patch to be able to set /PageMode to attachments or optional contents. Values are attach and oc. These were the simplest names that came to my mind. I realized these are extremely useful, since vast majority of people (including IT guys) don’t seem to know how to extract attachments from PDF documents. Could you apply it to ConTeXt? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Is it possible to change the converted figure cache directory for a build?
by Kevin D. Robbins 19 May '17

19 May '17

By default, converted figures (m_k_i_v_foo.pdf for source figure foo.svg) are written to the same directory as the source figure. I would like all converted figures to be written instead to a cache directory in my home directory. How do I set this path? I asked this question on the ConTeXt users mailing list, but no one had an answer. Is there no user interface (environment variable, command line parameter, etc.) available to change where converted figures are written on disk? Best Regards, Kevin

Below this is the entry for \section in my own version of the setups files. All commands with instances have the attribute variant="instance" and the predefined instances are listed under cd:instances. Commands which are slanted in the manual are produced by a \defineXXX command which is documented with the generated="yes" attribute. For your list you can ignore the values under cd:sequence and use only the listed instances. <cd:command name="section" generated="yes" variant="instance" file="strc-sec.mkiv"> <cd:sequence> <cd:instance value="section"/> </cd:sequence> <cd:arguments> <cd:resolve name="keyword-reference-list-optional"/> <cd:resolve name="argument-text"/> </cd:arguments> <cd:instances> <cd:constant value="part"/> <cd:constant value="chapter"/> <cd:constant value="section"/> <cd:constant value="subsection"/> <cd:constant value="subsubsection"/> <cd:constant value="subsubsubsection"/> <cd:constant value="subsubsubsubsection"/> <cd:constant value="title"/> <cd:constant value="subject"/> <cd:constant value="subsubject"/> <cd:constant value="subsubsubject"/> <cd:constant value="subsubsubsubject"/> <cd:constant value="subsubsubsubsubject"/> </cd:instances> </cd:command> Wolfgang
