Re: [NTG-context] Overriding pdfview

Exactly what I was thinking: pavneet@darjiling:~$ more .mailcap application/pdf; evince %s I like evince because it also doesn't lock the PDF file, and auto-refreshes the view when updated. It also has/can have a space efficient toolbar structure, which works great on my little netbook: Asus EEE 701 running Bodhi Linux off an SD card---my favourite writing environment by far. So no wrapper needed except for first invocation which puts evince in the background. My own work environment is a bit like an old-school IDE: - tmux with side-by-side panes for vim editing and document compilation. - different tmux "windows" for different documents being worked on. - evince on one of the adjacent workspace to preview. <CTRL><ALT> to quickly switch back and forth from edit-compile to test workspaces.

Or, simple read the mailcap preference or use a program such as run-mailcap or see which choose the viewer based on mailcap preferences.

I am half joking here; don't go down this route. One can simply leave it to the user to write a wrapper to context that calls the PDF viewer when context is finished.
