Quite regularely I want to edit the LyX source in my favourite text editor (jed) to do things like a regexp-replace across math. Setting jed as viewer for LyX files did not work, though. Even my attempt to introduce a mock-fileformat lyx-source with cat as converter failed. Just now, I have to save, find the file from the external editor and after editing to do File>Reload. I assume, File>Reload was never made for external changes: Reload will not work until I change something in my document. Then it prompts Document changed. Save? [Yes] No I have to set this to no, as I do not want to overwrite the external changes. Then importing works. Does anyone know of a smarter solution? I thought about using the lyx server and started a python script but work stalled due to other projects. Günter -- G.Milde web.de
