Please find attached a tar archive containing an executable and a bash script. You can put LyXPipeWatcher.exe wherever you want, but it is mandatory that you copy the script to the cygwin /usr/local/bin directory. I don't know if I am allowed to redistribute modified sources from http://www.relisoft.com/win32/watcher.html so I am not including them. The sources are copyrighted but I could not find anything about redistribution. Usage is as follows. Prerequisites: - Cygwin version of LyX (either the official one using Qt3/X11 or mine own build using Qt3/Win will do). - Make sure that you have the cygwin bin directory in your system PATH. Most probably this is c:\cygwin\bin and you should add it to the Path variable in the "System properties/Advanced/Environment variables" panel (on Win2k I get it by choosing Properties after right clicking on the "My Computer" icon). You need admin privileges to do this. - Once you are in the previous panel, make sure that a variable named HOME is set, pointing to your cygwin home directory. For example, this could be c:\cygwin\home\James (use the Windows syntax here). Usage with JabRef: - Set the lyxpipe path in LyX. You should set this path in the "LyXServer pipe:" entry you see after Tools->Preferences->Paths. Use the cygwin syntax here. Under the hypothesis that your cygwin home directory is c:\cygwin\home\James, I suggest using something like /home/.lyx/lyxpipe. Save the preferences and restart LyX. - Set the lyxpipe path in JabRef. Use whatever path you like here but make sure that it is *different* from the previous one. - Launch LyXpipeWatcher.exe specifying on the command line (or in a shortcut) the same lyxpipe path you gave to JabRef (the bash script will figure out by itself what is the real lyxpipe path). - Once you have LyX, JabRef and LyXpipeWatcher running, try pushing a reference to LyX. You should see a console window flashing briefly and then the reference should appear in LyX. -- Enrico LyXPipeWatcher.tar.gz Description: application/tar-gz

Yes, but if you want that functionality from a native Windows app you have to use a workaround. See below. > If I was not wrong, it did not work in cygwin! It works if you use cygwin apps. Native windows apps know nothing about named pipes. However, there's a workaround. Windows provides file change notifications, so you can tell a native app to use a given file as the lyxpipe. Then you monitor such file with a small program, and when the app writes to the file you receive a notification. So you simply copy what was written to the file to the real lyxpipe using a cygwin program (a bash script, for example). I wrote such "watcher" utility by modifying the example provided at http://www.relisoft.com/win32/watcher.html and it works very well. I can push citations from JabRef directly into LyX without problems. You need the cygwin version of LyX, of course. The only nuisance is that you have to remember to launch the watcher program in addition to LyX and JabRef. -- Enrico

Correct. For some reason the nice vector / text .pdf you have (beatdetectoropdeling.pdf) is converted into an RGB bitmap. Are you sure you've got LyX set to call pdflatex to make a .pdf? I thought the default was latex->dvi->dvips->ghostscript which would yield the result you have belike.

[announce] Windows development snaphot for LyX 1.5 (09-04-2007)
Hello LyXers, the last week we made big efforts towards the LyX 1.5.0 release. To test the new features, dialog cleanups and bugfixes I've published a new development snapshot of LyX 1.5svn: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=12620 (More infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) The most important changes since LyX 1.5svn-30-03-2007 are: Version LyX 1.5svn-09-04-2007 - LyX 1.5svn from 09-04-2007 - CJK fixes - keyboard maps are now working - InstantPreview is working again - new layout and template files for the g-brief2 letter class and the moderncv and europecv curriculum vitae classes - reworked BibTeX file parser - reworked graphics, glossary, and math delimiter dialog - new Spanish translation of the Extended manual - many other bugfixes Installer changes: - updated Readme files - NSIS 2.25 is now required to compile the installer --- disclaimer --- LyX 1.5svn test builds are for testers and interested LyXers to see the new features. If you find bugs, please have a look at http://bugzilla.lyx.org and report them there if they aren't already reported. Note! LyX 1.5svn is in beta state, that means that it is still under very active development. So don't use LyX1.5svn for production! happy testing and best regards Uwe
