I have XQuartz, of course, but not the outdated Apple version or any other in /usr/X11/lib, but the MacPorts version in /opt/local/lib (and a few within some Apps). Adobe Acrobat Reader DC doesn’t use X11 and isn’t callable as acroread, but only as /Applications/Adobe\ Acrobat\ Reader\ DC.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeReader *if* you installed it in /Applications. I guess you meant acroread on Linux, and there "default" still works. > Am 2019-08-29 um 11:51 schrieb Floris van Manen : > > On 29-08-19 11:40, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote: >> Hans, could you use "xdg-open" for "—autopdf=auto" on Linux? >> That’s more or less the same as "open" on MacOS. > > you could also create an alias for in your .bashrc > > alias open=xdg-open Right. And also an alias for acroread and/or pdfopen on my Mac. But since I think it’s useful for a lot of users, I suggest including at least xdg-open for "auto" on Linux.

[NTG-context] context --autopdf=auto/default
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 "" ""' (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 Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
