Subject: Automatic view DVI file after update DVI
Dear All
Systematically, when I update the DVI file, I want to view the DVI
file. So, it would be nice to be possible to configure LyX so that
clicking on Update --> DVI led automatically to the DVI viewer. Can it
be done with LyX 1.3.6?
Running Update->DVI assumes that a viewer is already open from a previous
View->DVI, and
the viewer should update automagically upon completion of the LyX
compilations (xdvik).
Update->PS works alike with ghostview and gv (File->Reopen)
Update->PDF works alike with gv (File->Reopen), with xpdf (typing R for
Reopen in the xpdf window)
but you must close/open with acroread (5.0/Solaris here).

I saw this batfile which could become a bash script, maybe helpful?

View PDF in full-page mode - advanced version
You may try also to following: Download pdftools and extract pdfopen.exe and
pdfclose.exe into your ~\Lyx\bin directory. Create a text file PDFview.cmd
containing
if not exist "%~dpn1-tmp%~x1" goto :go
pdfclose --file "%~dpn1-tmp%~x1"
del "%~dpn1-tmp%~x1"
:go
copy %1 "%~dpn1-tmp%~x1"
pdfopen --file "%~dpn1-tmp%~x1"
exit
in the same directory. If you select View ? PDF (pdflatex), this will show
the current document as a PDF. The error that you get if the Reader is
already open will be avoided, but the file will be named slightly
differently to achieve that result.
Best regards,
Stephen
