Subject: Re: DVI viewer problem Mac Intel Leopard
psfrag also works under Lyx1.6.0svn for both View->DVI and View->PDF
(ps2pdf).
Are then any configuration files (or data) that I can transfer from
my 1.6 installation to my 1.5 installation that will fix the 1.5
problem?
Is there any way of disabling LyX->Reconfigure thereby avoiding any
temptation to use it( I have also had problems with it destroying
settings in the past on Mac)?
Annoying problem with Lyx1.6.0svn; its VERY (almost unacceptably)
slow opening a large document.
Thanks
Roger

I have just installed Lyx1.6.0svn
This has a view menu with numerous items, including DVI and
Postscript.
I have NOT run Reconfigure on this.
The DVI and Postscript items both work.
DVI invokes TeXShop and Postscript invokes Apple Preview.

I am no longer able to use the DVI Viewer.
It and other items recently disappeared from my View menu.
The problem first appeared with LyX1.5.5svn.
I have just downloaded LyX-1.5.4-Mac-Universal.dmg and installed it.
One associated problem with both versions is that some Preferences-
>File format settings are deleted by Reconfigure, so maybe
something is missing. If so, I can't discover what it is. In
particular, the Document format and Vector graphics format boxes
become unchecked by Reconfigure.
When I select these boxes, DVI reappears in the View menu (which
makes sense).
However, when I select the DVI View menu item (which used to
work), I get the following error notification:
File does not exist
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir6064y7RjeL/lyx_tmpbuf0/My__postulates_.dvi
Exiting the restarting Lyx does not solve this problem.
The DVI File format settings are:
Format: dvi GUI name: DVI
Shortcut: D Extension: dvi
Viewer: open Editor:
This problem has arisen in an attempt to use psfrag which I have
successfully achieved for View->PDF (ps to pdf) with LyX1.5.5svn
on a Linux system.
In fact, I did have psfrag working OK with View->DVI on this Mac
system, but not for PDF.
Assistance will be greatly appreciated.
