ConTeXt in SciTe in Windows, non-working commands in Tools menu
Hello! While struggling with the prefixed referencing system, I found two commands in the Tools menu that fail miserably. As the commands I normally use (Ctrl+1/Process TeX file, Process and Arrange, Generate Formats (luaTeX) work fine, the problem is fairly local and neither is critical. If I remember it correctly, the command Tools | Update ConTeXt has never worked for me, but the error message has been different. What I get now is
mtxrun --autogenerate texshow --update --force mtxrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.03 seconds>Exit code: 1
Updating per se works, because when I did it on the command line, i.e. ran first-setup.bat --context=current something definitely came in and there are changes in for example directory texmf-modules (and yes, I did remember to generate formats and that command really worked). The other command that fails is Tools | Open Logfile (or Ctrl+E) and I'm fairly sure this one worked on the W7 laptop that I installed in August 2011 with the then up-to-date versions of SciTe and ConTeXt. The error message is pretty interesting, too:
Lua: error checking global scope for command
I can of course open the log file in SciTe via the File menu, so this isn't a major problem, just an annoyance. I used to like my Ctrl+E quite a bit... The SciTe+ConTeXt combo I'm using now is on a 64-bit Windows7 laptop and I installed it about 10 weeks ago onto a brand new computer. My SciTe says it's version 2.26 of May 25, 2011. It is quite possible I'm running a different version from what's in the ConTeXt package as I fetch my SciTe separately from Scintilla so I get a civilised Windows installer that sets Windows context menus and other goodies all at one click. (Yes, I'm da lazy Windows user who doesn't want to bother her brain with any tweaking if that can be avoided.)
From the world of Windows,

The tools menu is still mkiv mostly. When you run luatex from scite, just stick to ctrl-f12 == run and it will work. You don't need to make formats as that happens automatically when you've updated the minimals. Maybe we should strip down that bit of scite as most use mkiv anyway.

Just forget about it. Go to the root of your minimals and run first-setup there.

indeed, modules have been moved to texmf-modules

hm, log file should work a lua error ... interesting, what version of scite is that? there have been changes in the lua scite api but i though that i had that fixed

ctrl-e works here

No 64 bit here yet (way too old machine); I run scite 2.21.
