Change PDF reader #11

Open devmount opened 8 years ago

Is it possible, to specify the pdf reader to open generated pdfs with? Or is it always the default pdf reader? Thanks. I love this plugin!

So, currently all that happens is executes the pdf output file, which should run it with the system default viewer.

It would be possible to make an optional configuration option, but I could quickly see that turning into a multi-platform headache, with OSX in particular (the amount of work required to run a .app from the command line was.... not pretty, last I checked).

If anyone's got an idea for how a feature like this could be implemented in a cleaner way, I'd love to hear
