Thanks Enrico, it works very smoothly now. > Well, I think it is already fully supported in trunk and partially > supported in branch (where the SumatraPDF.sh script should be used). I agree that SumatraPDF is supportable in trunk, but not in branch. Case-insensitive filename comparison still appears broken in branch. In the meantime, a workaround is still possible by editing the scripts which invoke the LyX server. I used the following sed command: file=`cygpath $1 | sed "s/tmpdir\.\(..\)/tmpdir\.\U\1/"` But for some reason I was using the old lyxeditor.sh from: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-us...@lists.lyx.org/msg63984.html >> Is there any hope of eventually seeing >> reverse search in Win32? > > I think that it could be supported through the named pipe mechanism, > but nobody until now has provided code for doing that. Ah, so there is hope! Too bad I'm (supposed to be) writing my thesis now. Thanks again for all your help! -Ben
