Hans, a few tiny details about texworks ... 1.) do you think that it would be possible to set something like %SELFAUTOLOC% instead of binaryPaths=D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin in texworks.ini? 2.) This doesn't help too much openDialogDir=E:/context/manuals/mk 3.) This one might be deleted every time when I update ConTeXt: recentFileList= 4.) removing aux files (not with purge, but with File/Remove Aux files) is not complete (I would expect the tuc file to disapear as well) 5.) I get 404 error on server, but maybe there's some other problem, I would need to check MTXrun | running at port: 31415 MTXrun | document root: D:/Programi/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lu a MTXrun | main index file: unknown MTXrun | scripts subpath: D:/Programi/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ lua MTXrun | context services: http://localhost:31415/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua MTXrun | request from: 127.0.0.1 MTXrun | requested action: MTXrun | invalid filename, forcing: unknown MTXrun | performing action: unknown MTXrun | requested file 'unknown' MTXrun | handling error 404: Not Found MTXrun | time spent with client: 8.671 seconds MTXrun | request from: 127.0.0.1 MTXrun | requested action: favicon.ico MTXrun | performing action: favicon.ico MTXrun | requested file 'favicon.ico' MTXrun | handling error 404: Not Found MTXrun | time spent with client: 0.063 seconds 6.) status-of-update.lua is generated in current folder which is a bit weird (and probably means that global settings are not preserved). But again ... I may need to check what's going on. Scite has local and global preferences separated. TeXWorks would need that kind of separation as well in order to be able to play with settings in this way. Mojca
