I thought it would be a script, but that does not really matter. My logic goes as follows: If it is something specific to LyX then it should be installed in the LyX folder. We can detect this, because in this case a placeholder like $$s would be used. If it is not installed in the LyX folder then it is something more general, and therefore subject to auto overriding. > > Or maybe instead of > > the flag one could use a viewer like > > > > "noauto C:\Programs\foo\bar.exe" > > > > which would mean that C:\Programs\foo\bar.exe is the viewer and overrides > > the auto setttings. > > I now realize that lyxrc.default will still override lyxrc.dist, so it > is not going to help. It would help if configure.py would write this setting on windows, similar what is currently done with the dtl tools. Putting it in configure.py would make sense if the new tool would be integrated in the normal build process. > What about the new patch I attached, which adds the possibility of > distributing a lyxrc.distviewers file? You seem to have a faible for proposing things I don't like :-) IMHO yet another file is too confusing. But I am not going to decide what we actually do and will stop now. I thought that Jean-Marc would tell his opinion, because he was involved in creating the current status, but he seems to be too busy. Anyway, it is he who needs to agree, not me. Georg
