It works fine under LyX on Linux. Great, actually. The problem here is that there are no "named pipes" under Windows, which is what LyX uses to communicate with the outside world. (These are things that look like files but aren't really files at all: Programs can write into them and other programs can then read out of them, but it's all happening without any actual storage.) All you have to do to get this working is configure the location of the pipe in LyX (Preferences > Paths > Lyxpipe) and in JabRef (Options > Prefs > External Programs > Path to LyX Pipe). Obviously, you need to configure them the same! Pybliographer has a similar facility.
There's lots of useful stuff you can do with this pipe. I'll send another message illustrating. Richard Stacia Hartleben wrote: > Hi, I use Jabref and there is an option to "push to LyX" using > lyxpipe? Does this work on windows? If not can it be made to work in > other versions of LyX.
