What I am concerned with is that if, for example, acrobat reader is not found, the viewer for pdf will be empty, and view->pdflatex etc will be gone. Will your patch change this behavior? (I used "auto" viewer to avoid this problem.) > No, it is simply not needed. configure.py will not find the viewers on > windows, and therefore the viewer will be empty. So I should simply test for empty viewer(), right? The logic will be: if no viewer is specified, use shellExecute (windows only). > We could think of removing windows viewers from configure.py to ensure > this in all cases. No, allowing users to specify a viewer, regardless windows' default, is sometimes useful. I have another question. I really would like the shellExecute thing to go to 1.4.2 since it simplifies the installation and usage of lyx/win a lot. Will your patch go to 1.4.x any time soon? Bo
