LyX 2.3.4.2, macOS 12 This is just a new user to LyX perspective: bad.
Newly setup system: 1. install macOS 2. install TeXlive2019 3. install LyX 2.3.4.2 4. install Skim 5. read some docs for configuration (as written previously: trying to read UserGuide.pdf will not work in this setup…) - Changing default PDF output in Preferences > Output > General to 'Skim' results in pdflatex output being displayed in X11/xpdf (As Preferences > File Handling > File Formats > Viewers (PDF(pdflatex)) is indeed set per default to 'xpdf') - trying to enable synctex support as per wiki is impossible — **none** of the options under Preferences > File Handling > Converters enables any 'OK' or 'Apply' buttons. They always remain greyed out, no changes can be saved. https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX (says: > Enter Tools > Preferences > File Handling > Export programs [not existing] > Click "LaTeX (pdflatex) > PDF (pdflatex)" in the list. In the "Export program" box, it now says pdflatex $$i. Instead, put pdflatex -synctex=-1 $$i there. > Click Modify to the right of the list, then Apply. [Bug: 'nothing to click'] https://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac Aim is to use LyX and Skim with synctex. Result is a not working as expected system, plus a bug? New install experience on macOS hampered by bugs, inaccessible and confusing & outdated documentation (within bundle, on official wiki). -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
