Joost> Jean-Marc, can you please say which option you prefer? The reason why I did not give my opinion is that I do not know what we shall do :( First of all, adding a pdfview as viewer should only be done when there is an actual PDF viewer installed on the system. Are we going to play again the game of detecting whether acroread is installed checking for pdfview? That looks a bit silly. Second, the problem of indicating that a lyxrc.defaults entry should not be overridden by auto settings. The syntax conventions of using "!foo" and "noauto foo" seem equally ugly to me... As Georg pointed out, a viewer flag would be the best solution but this changes the syntax. What would be the best solution is definitely to have the installer set pdfview as PDF handler. There is reason to think that LyX is be the only one which suffers from this *&$^%&^^$!*# braindead Acrobat thing. So, if we come back to pdfview (BTW, very bad name, google finds a lot of different ones). How is it implemented? Is it a script or a program? Where does it comes from? Does it work only with Acrobat? JMarc
