Set useful Sumatra PDF Viewer default settings. This will likely only work on windows.
At the given path with "SumatraPDF.exe", this creates two settings files.
Existing files are renamed ("_old_n" appended), not overwritten.
Creates "sumatrapdfrestrict.ini" with SavePreferences = 1 and FullscreenAccess = 1.
Creates "SumatraPDF-settings.txt" with ShowToc = false and DefaultDisplayMode = single page.
UiLanguage gets filled in by Sumatra itself upon first opening.
sumatraInitialize(
path = sub("pandoc$", "sumatra", Sys.getenv("RSTUDIO_PANDOC")),
roampath = paste0(Sys.getenv("APPDATA"), "/SumatraPDF"),
openfolder = TRUE
)path, invisibly
Folder (not file) that contains "SumatraPDF.exe".
You need file writing permissions in the folder.
DEFAULT: extracted from Sys.getenv("RSTUDIO_PANDOC"), e.g.
"C:/Program Files/RStudio/bin/sumatra"
if not NULL, both files are also copied to this path,
e.g. C:/Users/berry/AppData/Roaming/SumatraPDF.
DEFAULT: SumatraPDF folder at Sys.getenv("APPDATA")
Logical: Open folder after writing the files?
Uses openFile(). DEFAULT: TRUE
