What is the correct way to set up pdfsync with the 1.5
branch? More specifically, PDFView.
In PDFView's preferences, use a custom preset for PDFSync
support, with the following entries:
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyxeditor
"%file" %line
Also, make sure that the .lyxpipe.in and .lyxpipe.out files do
not exist when LyX is not running. (They are normally deleted
when LyX quits, but if LyX crashes, they remain and prevent LyX
from communicating with PDFView.) Their location can be found
in LyX > Preferences > Paths.
Finally, make sure that you include
\usepackage{pdfsync}
in your preamble. Then <Cmd>-click in PDFView should take you
to the relevant place in the LyX document.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunatly, I didn't make
myself clear; I'm wanting to know how to configure LyX. In LyX,
there is no preference for 'viewers', so I'm assuming that the
'file formats' are what need to be setup. For 'PDF(pdflatex)'
Viewer is set to auto, and Editor is not set. I figured I
needed to replace auto with PDFView. But every time I replace
auto with anything, neither the Save nor Apple button are
enabled, and switching views looses the setting.
So what is the correct way to configure LyX?
"auto" will use the default .pdf viewer. One way to change what
LyX uses is to change the default for all .pdf files in the
Finder. If you don't want to do that, you'll need to enter "open -
a PDFSync.app $$i" (without quotes) in the viewer setting. *Then*
you need to click the Modify button, and then Save.

Well, this failes on both parts:
1) using the "open -a PDFSync.app $$i" doesn't open PDFSync.app
(I tried /Applications/PDFSync.app too). If I change the default
PDF viewer to PDFView, and LyX back to auto, then it does use auto.
2) command-click doesn't do anything to LyX. I tried TeXniscope
too. If either, if I configure to use TextMate, they work.
So in both cases, it's LyX. Should I go ahead and file two
defects agains teh svn code?
Correction: #1 does work with TeXniscope, just not with PDFView.
#2 still doesn't work with either.
With respect to #1, I goofed: it should, of course, be "open -a
PDFView.app $$i". Also, for #2 to work, make sure .lyxpipe* is
deleted (and follow all other instructions from my previous e-mail).
