OK. On my own I got to the point of trying to create a phantom ochem
filetype with my script as a converter. The relevent lines within
~/.lyx/preferences are the following:
#
# FORMATS SECTION ##########################
#
\format "ochem" "tex" "Ochem" ""
\viewer "ochem" "/bin/true"
#
# CONVERTERS SECTION ##########################
#
\converter "latex" "ochem" "ochemppLyx $$b" ""
The reason for using /bin/true for a viewer is that the script uses gv
internally to view the created ps file. These definitions were created
using the Edit>Preferences popup.
Now I can see Ochem as a choice under both the export and view menus, and
the script runs when either is chosen. However, the results die part way
through processing with a runaway text error involving the imbedded code.
Bear in mind that this file (and code) works PERFECTLY with lyx 1.1.15 using
the script as a custom exporter.
The exported tex files from the two lyx versions differ, but only in the
text parts.
I am completely stumped about this.
Does anyone know if the installation makes any difference by being installed
locally vs. through the Debian package system?
What differences exist in how a script is called using the new format vs.
the old in 1.1.15?
I'd really appreciate any help on this, as I'd like to move toward 1.1.16
for other features. But this problem makes no sense to me.
