Openning a file in sumatrapdf

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

I am trying to use SciTE to compile and view LaTeX files compiled to pdf.
I'd like to use sumatrapdf as this pdf viewer has Synctex possibility.

But I can't get it working. I have tried in the latex.properties file:
command.name.0.*.tex=View
command.0.*.tex="C:\Program Files\sumatrapdf\sumatrapdf.exe" $(FileName).pdf
and
command.name.1.*.tex=View
command.1.*.tex="C:\Program Files\sumatrapdf\sumatrapdf.exe" $(FileName).pdf
with no result, but the instruction
C:\Program Files\sumatrapdf\sumatrapdf.exe $(FileName).pdf
in a command prompt windows (under Windows XP)

If I replace
command.0.*.tex="C:\Program Files\sumatrapdf\sumatrapdf.exe" $(FileName).pdf
by
command.0.*.tex="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
$(FileName).pdf
the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader!

I really would like to be able to open with sumatrapdf for the synctex
facility.

Thanks for the help,

Alain

Try setting the subsystem to 2, probably it's running in subsystem 0.
Check the docs for more information.

And how to do this.
In the Help:

command.name./number/./filepattern/
command./number/./filepattern/

command.subsystem./number/./filepattern/

The first two lines correspond to what I did,

command.name.0.*.tex=View
command.0.*.tex="C:\Program Files\sumatrapdf\sumatrapdf.exe" $(FileName).pdf

changing 0 to 1 is only to change macro 0 to macro 1.
I didn't manage to implement the third, using:

command.1.0.*.tex="C:\Program Files\sumatrapdf\sumatrapdf.exe" $(FileName).pdf

I think I should use 1 (I did also try 2):
1 windows Programs that create their own windows
2 shellexec Run using ShellExecute
A good way to open HTML files and similar as it
handles this similarly to a user opening the file from the shell.

Further I do not understand why Acrobat Reader works and not sumatrapdf.

Thanks for the help.

Hi!

Still no result, now even nothing happens (no eternal waiting, no crash,...)

I put the problem aside for tthe moment.

Thanks for the help.

Dear Alian,
try the follwing lines:

command.name.0.*.tex=View PDF
command.0.subsystem.*.tex=1
command.0.*.tex=start C:\Program Files\sumatrapdf\sumatrapdf.exe -f $
(FiIeName).pdf

This works in my system.
If 'start' is not available use 'run' or compatible..
(-f command option for 'filename')
Have a Nice Day.

Dear scitefan!,

I had to use:
command.name.0.*.tex=View PDF
command.0.subsystem.*.tex=1
command.0.*.tex="C:\Program Files\sumatrapdf\sumatrapdf.exe" -f
$(FileName).pdf

Now I'll take the time to configure forward and inverse search between
source and pdf.

Thanks,

Alain
