It seems that PDF attachments aren't working in the latest minimals:

$ context --version

mtx-context | main context file:
/Users/alama/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv
mtx-context | current version: 2011.05.18 22:26

========================================
\useattachment[busted][hi.txt]
\starttext
attachment here: \attachment[busted]
\stoptext
========================================

Prepending

\setupinteraction[state=start]

to the document, and the compiling with, say, xetex, results in a PDF
that has the attachment. But not with mkiv.

fixed in next beta

Thanks. I notice, by the way, that even with mkii, PDF attachments don't seem to function entirely correctly. This might be due to a limitation of my PDF reader (I'm using Adobe Reader 10.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.6), but with that minimal example, Reader says that

* the name of the attachment is "Unknown" (shouldn't it be "hi.txt"?)
* the "Description" is "hi.txt" (seems like that should be the name, not the description -- I'm not sure how to specify the description of an attached file) * the "Modified", "Size", and "Compressed size" metadata all say "Unknown" (shouldn't at least "Size" have some sensible value?) * clicking on the little attachment icon in the text does nothing, nor does explicitly selecting "Open attachment".

These might be bugs or limitations with Reader, but I'm not sure. Can someone else confirm this behavior with attachments in mkii?

Thanks,

Jesse
