Hi,
I just discovered the new feature to edit the preamble
externally.
However, I couldn't find where to set the editor for this of any
documentation about it. On MacOS it opens XCode which asks me to
install additional application or Quit. This renders the
function
pretty useless for me. I have set a different application as
default
for TeX files but LyX seems ignore this. How can I make LyX
open my
favorite editor?
Best,
Daniel

Thanks. So, I take it, there is no documentation of this.
Next, question: how do I set a Custom editor then? I tried
"/Applications/texmaker.app" but nothing happens though "open
/Applications/texmaker.app" in the terminal works just fine.
Daniel
Following Paul's response, I chose Custom and entered notepad++
(my preferred text editor) in the adjacent window. I've included
C:\Program Files\Notepad++ (preceded and followed by semicolons)
in the path string at Tools > Settings > Paths. It works (at least
in windows).
Andrew
Thanks for checking. Might be a macos bug then.
Daniel
Tried to get it to work on MacOS (with BBEdit, but didn’t succeed. I
think what I get wrong is what to put in the path (tried bot
Application and into the BBEdit package) and what to put in the
command.
Anders
I managed to get LyX to work with the default application by just
using the command "open" (without quotes) as Custom Editor.
Daniel
Daniel, this is for MacOS? Could somebody describe how to do if not
MacOS and not Windows? Is it described somewhere?
Wolfgang
Wolfgang: You are on Linux, correct? The menu sequence I specified above
(Tools > Preferences > File Formats > LaTeX (plain) > Editor) is how you
do it for Linux. If your editor does not appear in the drop-down list,
you select "Custom" and put the command to run the editor in the box
next to the word Custom.
