Well obviously that's the question - who is responsible for launching the viewer ;) Anyway I am not totally oppposed to your approach, but I'll need more time to check what got broken... and perhaps ask to slightly adapt the patch for signalling internally(= spawned by the script) handled cases so I can still do my own stuff by the underlying scripts :) Pavel -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
