I'll repeat what I said, though: the PDF reader that is (a) most likely to be installed, and (b) is most logical / least surprising to the user, is: the user's own default PDF viewer. Adobe Reader may be clunky for this purpose, but IMO the user's choice should nonetheless be respected.
It is easier, and less aggravating, to look up 'what is a better PDF viewer than Adobe' than 'why does ConTeXt not respect my default PDF viewer setting?'
well, is someone chooses 'default' i.e. --autopdf=default then the pdfopen and pdfclose commands are used and these will use the system defaults; i can add 'auto' to do 'start' and 'open' but i'm not going to bother then with something close (which isn't available on all systems anyway) to be honest. i wasn't aware if anyone using --autopdf anyway and i mostly made it for my own edit/view cycle with scite, and the defaults there are my personal ones and users can easilly override them in a user properties file (so anyone not satisfied with my choices can set the preference to --autopdf=default there and get whatever (probably acrobat) is set up there (and then start fighting version clash startup differences) i expect most users to use their personal favourite editor and be able to configure the run context command (and is one omits the --autopdf viewing is completely up to the editor / os: as said, i only added --autopdf because it's handy in scite) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
