How to pass CLI argument to zotero://open-pdf URI ?

JorgePLK

Hello,

I have a PDF reader that takes "--page i" argument in command line (where "i" is opening page number).

Is there any way to pass that argument to a zotero://open-link URI ?

Thanks !

(It's zotero://open-pdf.)

What's the PDF reader?

This is controlled by https://github.com/zotero/zotero/blob/master/chrome/content/zotero/xpcom/openPDF.js

Thanks for your reply : the PDF reader is Sioyek (https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek).

So apparently Zotero sends the command in the following format, on Windows :

/A page=i

Yes. It's possible we could pass -page i and --page i as well, but we'd have to confirm that extra arguments didn't break any readers.

The alternative would be looking for specific program names in the handler path and sending specific known arguments.

This would be great, please let me know if this gets implemented !

I use Sumatra PDF reader, and it takes -page <pageNo> as an argument.
