LyX 2 is great.But I had difficulty in configuring and using inverse and forward-search features for SumatraPDF.I developed my own solution, perhaps you might be interested.1. I was annoyed by command windows popoping up everytime i use inverse search from sumatra pdf to lyx.

Configuring lyx for inverse and forward search is quite cumbersome, for some reason inverse search was not working since sumatrapdf was called from "C:\Program Files\Lyx20\bin". > I added SumatraPDF folder in LyX:Preferences:Paths:PATH prefix > SumatraView.bat as PDF viewer under file formats, pdf (pdflatex) as viewver > > All files are attahced and below you can find codes. > Inverse and Forward search works seamlessly. If you have a large screen, put lyx on left and sumatra on right side, it is great to work.You should put all files under your default SumatraPDF foldercodes: > 1. SumatraView.bat (for configuring inverse search and making forward search work correctly)start "" /D"%~dp1" /B "SumatraPDF.exe" -reuse-instance -inverse- search "lyxeditor.exe %%f %%l" %~nx12. lyxeditor.exe (lyxeditor.ahk, compiled using http://www.autohotkey.com/)Run %comspec% /q /c echo LYXCMD:revdvi:server- goto-file-row:%1% %2%> \\.\pipe\lyxpipe.in&&type \\.\pipe\lyxpipe.out, , HideSetTitleMatchMode, 2Loop, Parse, 1, \{ IfInString, A_LoopField, .tex { StringReplace, lyx, A_LoopField, .tex , .lyx IfWinExist, %lyx% WinActivate }}2. lyxswitch.exe (lyxswitch.ahk, compiled using http://www.autohotkey.com/)SetTitleMatchMode, 2Loop, Parse, 1, \{ IfInString, A_LoopField, .tex { StringReplace, lyx, A_LoopField, .tex , .lyx IfWinExist, %lyx% WinActivate ; use the window found above }}Regards,econophd > > Attachment (LyX_SumatraPDF.7z): application/octet-stream, 213 KiB
Hello, Thank you! It worked fine here! But, there is a small problem with lyxeditor. It does not work for lines whose number are less than 10. but I solved it. You just have to put the whole string that has to be sent to the lyxpipe in parentheses, like that: Run %comspec% /q /c (echo LYXCMD:revdvi:server-goto-file-row:%1% %2%)> \\.\pipe\lyxpipe.in&&type \\.\pipe\lyxpipe.out, , Hide that's it. thank's again. best regards, --Daniel
