Hello again!

Hans, could you use "xdg-open" for "—autopdf=auto" on Linux? That’s more or less the same as "open" on MacOS.

On Windows it’s 'start "" "<file>"' (empty quotes for default program), don’t know if that’s implemented.

"default" is apparently "pdfopen", that doesn’t work on MacOS, at least on my system I get:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib Referenced from: /Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/pdfopen Reason: image not found Abort trap: 6

You need XQuartz installed for pdfopen to even start on MacOS. But it would still likely fail with ‘acroread startup failed’, because it is seriously outdated by now. Best wishes, Taco
