Re: support for xdg-open (Linux) and open (Mac)

[Kayvan Sylvan]

In the Fedora distribution lyx packages, an xdg-open patch is applied
and the resulting lyx seems to work correctly.

IMHO it is clear that xdg-open should be used in the long run, but not as 
long as it has severe drawbacks. If the problems do still exist it would be 
very nice if somebody could file a bug report in trac, including a summary 
of the problems that currently prevent LyX from using xdg-open. Then future 
questions could be directed to that bug report.

It is possible with a huge tikz plot (e.g. a scatter plot with more
than ten thousand points). If anybody is interested and uses R, I can
give an example. It might be irrelevant to the original post here,
though.
