Hi, I was trying to use Skim and LyX 1.5.7 for inverse PDF searching. It did not work for me. MacOSX 10.5.5.
I did the following: ----- install mactex 2008 put \usepackage{pdfsync} in the preamble set the pdf (pdflatex) viewer to open -a Skim.app restart lyx on viewing the PDF file, Skim gets called, fine. I set lyx as the editor for inverse search in Skim. Now, option-click or option-shift click is supposed to jump to the line in the lyx editor, but it doesn't. ----- I tried explicitly deleting .lyxpipe.in and .lyxpipe.out, which are in the default location ~/Library/Application Support/Lyx-1.5/ and then restarting lyx. I also tried to run lyx -dbg any: no message at all when clicking the PDF file in Skim. Any ideas what goes wrong? is this lyx or skim? cheers, Nils
