Hi,
Just another stupid question: how do I call it
from LyX? I tried to change the "Viewer" field in Preferences/File
Formats/pdflatex to "skim" but that doesn't seem to work. Do I need
to add
any command options?
that is by no means a stupid question, and besides, you're almost
there: Go to Preferences --> File Formats --> PDF (pdflatex) and enter
"open -a skim" in the Viewer field (you may replace "skim" with
whatever application you want to open PDFs with).
You can also do that for, say, DVI, because as you correctly observed:
I just found that Skim itself opens dvi's.
Cheers,
Christian
