=========== mtxrun --launch cow.pdf Error in lua file loading: C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua:3055: attempt to index local 'filename' (a nil value) =========== Also, I don't see how this relates to the resizing issue. Is there an option to mtxrun that, say, launches the pdf through the LNK shortcut instead of the EXE.? I saw the following lines in conedt.ini: ============ &Acrobat Reader Acrobat Reader %P %$('AcroRead'); "%P\%N.pdf" Acrobat Reader %P\%N.pdf ============ Is this where texmfstart gets its launch information for --autopdf etc? Or am I supposed to leave these alone?
