I’d like to configure the default behaviour of "context --autopdf"; since on my Mac I must always write "--autopdf=auto", otherwise context tries to call

instead of e.g. "open".

There’s a hint about "directives_pdfview_method", so I wanted to find out more about directives: "context --showdirectives" looks promising; it tells me "result saved in file: .../texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/mtx-context-setters.pdf", but that file isn’t there; it is actually in the current directory, but broken.

it's more a side effect, we need to run context to get them

* How can I configure the command for --autopdf ? (Something in texmfcnf.lua?)

* Can we add additional options ("pdfview methods: auto default okular pdfxcview sumatra"), e.g. open (should be default on Mac), xdg-open (could be default on Linux)...

you can try to set it in the cnf: -- ["pdfview.method"] = "sumatra",

* What’s wrong with --showdirectives?

i'll fix the show variant, just use --directives Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
