Open pdf files with Zathura on Mac

Zathura on Mac

I want to open PDF files with Zathura on Mac. Problem is - Zathura does not have a proper App Bundle. So you cannot go in Finder to a pdf file, navigate to ‘Get Info’ and set pdf files to be opened with Zathura.

Luckily, you can create a custom App Bundle that wraps up a script that does that

But that is not as straightforward as you think it is, you can’t just execute a shell script. What if the file already opened with one of the instances of zathura process? Since Zathura is not a native OSX app, it will create a new process instance every time you open it.

The following script opens a file in Zathura, and if it was already opened, it would only activate the right window.

Rich Already Answered That!

A list of commonly asked questions, design decisions, reasons why Clojure is the way it is as they were answered directly by Rich (even when from many years ago, those answers are pretty much valid today!). Feel free to point friends and colleagues here next time they ask (again). Answers are pasted verbatim (I've made small adjustments for readibility, but never changed a sentence) from mailing lists, articles, chats.
