duplex printing and doublesided
Hi Hans, I have the following sample: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupinteractionscreen[option=portrait] \starttext No duplex printing. \page[right] In this document. \stoptext I’m afraid that doublesided alternative disables duplex printing. This would be a good reason to implement the features already asked at https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/084298.html. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

sure, that's why we have 'portrait' and 'landscape' as directives

Many thanks for your help,

How should I invoke them? (Sorry, but I cannot grep it. This is too complex for me.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\setupinteractionscreen[option=landscape] % option=portrait Wolfgang

Wolfgang, this was my original sample: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupinteractionscreen[option=portrait] \starttext No duplex printing. \page[right] In this document. \stoptext The doublesided alternative disables duplex printing. Hans wrote about portrait and landscape as directives. I guess they should be invoked with \enabledirective, but I don’t know how. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hans wrote about portrait and landscape as directives. I guess they should be invoked with \enabledirective, but I don’t know how. No, the option key for \setupinteractionscreen is correct but there are a few problems.
1. When you have a doublesided document the “portrait” option loads the values of the doublesided option. 2. Since you can set only one argument for the option key context has to set a values for the PDF document which means you can set the zoom value and dupley print option at the same time. A better solution would be to assign each option only a certain function and allow one to set \setupinteractionscreen[option={doublesided,portrait}]. Wolfgang

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

I’m afraid I must be missing something. If I remove the first line from the sample above, I don’t get the third page.

I’d say this is redundant. "portrait" is duplex printing flipping the long side. The issue comes from having one key for five values and also from mixing viewing options with printer options (the PDF spec shelters them in the viewer preferences dictionary). In this case, doublesided sets layout "TwoColumnRight" (which is a display setup) disabling also duplex and fixed printing (which are printing setups). As I proposed before (but Hans is busy with other issues), there should be four different keys in \setupinteraction (when not moving them to a new \setupprinting command): duplex page portrait landscape fixed (no value is required) copies number pdfpapersize yes no I’d love to contribute the patch myself, but Lua is totally unknown to me. I have tried to adapt lpdf-mis.lua, but this is beyond my knowledge. So I will have to wait until the new keys are implemented :-(. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
