Thanx Hans, I have ConTeXt in TL2010 ... Settings are made in MTX-context.lua or l-pdfview.lua? It is necessary to refresh the settings by luatools --generate or something like? Jaroslav Settings in l-pdfview.lua is (only part): pdfview = pdfview or { } local opencalls = { ['default'] = "pdfopen --file", -- "pdfopen --back --file" ['xpdf'] = "xpdfopen", } local closecalls= { ['default'] = "pdfclose --file", ['xpdf'] = nil, } local allcalls = { ['default'] = "pdfclose --all", ['xpdf'] = nil, } if os.type == "windows" then opencalls['okular'] = 'start "test" "c:/program files/kde/bin/okular.exe" --unique' -- todo: get focus else opencalls['okular'] = 'okular --unique' end pdfview.METHOD = "MTX_PDFVIEW_METHOD" pdfview.method = getenv(pdfview.METHOD) or 'default' pdfview.method = (opencalls[pdfview.method] and pdfview.method) or 'default' function pdfview.methods() return table.concat(table.sortedkeys(opencalls), " ") end Dne 22.9.2010 11:34, Hans Hagen napsal(a):

Hello all, Is it possible to open a PDF file (after compilation of ConTeXt) in other PDF viewer which is not the default setting? I mean change the default choice:

context --autopdf file.tex

to another, for example:

context --viewer=PDFViewer file.tex

I would like to retain the default browser settings, but I would like after ConTeXt compilation opened the files with something else.

the log mentions:

MTXrun | pdfview methods: default okular xpdf, current method: default, MTX_PDFVIEW_METHOD=<unset>

so you can set the method

i could extend --autopdf to accept a method

No clue as I don't have tl 2010 installed (and no time now to put it in a vm). You can try to set the environment variable:

MTX_PDFVIEW_METHOD

Adapting scripts directly that come with context is not a good idea as changes will be lost with an update.

A next version of context will also accept --autopdf=<method>

Some day I might also support configuration in texmfcnf.lua.
