Notepad++ With MiKTeX and Sumatrapdf
I've seen similar posts to this one, but none have addressed my specific problem (I think!).
I currently use Notepad++ with MikTeX on my Windows 7 desktop. My default pdf viewer is Sumatrapdf.
I have two nppexec commands that compile my current file.
The first is:
npp_saveall
CD $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
"C:Program FilesMiKTeX 2.9miktexbinx64pdflatex.exe" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" -output-directory "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
NPP_RUN $(NAME_PART).pdf
The second is:
npp_saveall
CD $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
"C:Program FilesMiKTeX 2.9miktexbinx64pdflatex.exe" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" -output-directory "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
Of course, I run the first command when I want to open a new pdf window and I run the second when I already have a pdf window open and I just want to update the file.
My problem is that my first command always opens a new window. I'd like to just have one command that either opens a new window (if one isn't open already) or brings the updated open window to the front. Does anyone know how to alter my code to do this?
Update: I got it to work! My new code is
npp_saveall
CD $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)
"C:Program FilesMiKTeX 2.9miktexbinx64pdflatex.exe" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" -output-directory "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
"C:Program Files (x86)SumatraPDFSumatraPDF.exe" "$(NAME_PART).pdf" -reuse-instance

I'm not familiar with Notepad++, but I can tell you that you can pass the option -reuse-instance to SumatraPDF command line to achieve what you want.
For more info see this page.
