Exactly what I was thinking: pavneet@darjiling:~$ more .mailcap application/pdf; evince %s
I like evince because it also doesn't lock the PDF file, and auto-refreshes the view when updated. It also has/can have a space efficient toolbar structure, which works great on my little netbook: Asus EEE 701 running Bodhi Linux off an SD card---my favourite writing environment by far. So no wrapper needed except for first invocation which puts evince in the background. My own work environment is a bit like an old-school IDE: - tmux with side-by-side panes for vim editing and document compilation. - different tmux "windows" for different documents being worked on. - evince on one of the adjacent workspace to preview. <CTRL><ALT><RIGHT|LEFT> to quickly switch back and forth from edit-compile to test workspaces. > Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:25:06 -0400 (EDT) > From: Aditya Mahajan <adit...@umich.edu> > To: mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context@ntg.nl> > Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Overriding pdfview > Message-ID: > <alpine.LNX.2.02.1306271320220.24744@ybpnyubfg.ybpnyqbznva> > Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed > > Or, simple read the mailcap preference or use a program such as > run-mailcap or see which choose the viewer based on mailcap > preferences. > > I am half joking here; don't go down this route.
