I'm trying to use lyxpipe with LyX 1.3.6 on Mac OS X, Aqua version.
I'm
using lyxpipe with BibDesk. When I select a BibTex item and run the
command "send to lyxpipe" (using an AppleScript extension to
BibDesk), I
get no output: nothing shows up in my open file in LyX. I thought the
BibTeX material was supposed to be imported/dumped into my open
file via
the lyxpipe.
I have lyxrc configured this way:
\serverpipe "~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX/.lyxpipe"
I have the same configuration set up in my LyX preferences.
Is this the right place to put the lyxpipe stuff? I thought that since
the new Aqua installer for LyX moved everything to ~/Library/
Application
~ Support, this was correct. The AppleScript I'm using also has this
configured as the location to lyxpipe.
You're right that the problem stems from the move of the LyX user's
directory from ~/.lyx to ~/Library/Application Support/LyX: the
script I assume you're using (from Mark Reid) assumes that the
lyxpipe is at ~/.lyx, and that explains your problem.
You have two options: (a) move your LyX user's directory back to
~/.lyx or (b) edit the SendToLyX.scpt script. Option (b) is probably
easiest; I've modified and uploaded the script to the Wiki, along
with a new note about the effects of the changed location of the
lyxpipe: <http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Mac>.
