Re: Missing lyxeditor.cmd?
I can not confirm this. I am a long time LyX user in production (I seem to have switched from OpenOffice to LyX in 2005 according to what I can find in my operating reports directory), regularly updating LyX and MacOs, and on an number of different boxes (from iMini via the trashcan MacPro to a 5k iMac) and laptops (12 and 13 inch airs). The only issue I am having sometimes is LuaLaTeX being 3 times slower than pdfLaTeX but of course it is the future :-)-O and there are many ways around some of it. Is there a way of measuring the startup time of a Mac application? greetings, el On 22/08/2019 19:08, Chris Menzel wrote: [...] > I'm not really a Windows user either, but I got so irked with recent > Mac laptops that I bought the (quite lovely) Dell in a fit of pique. > I have to say that, once you get it set up right, LyX under Windows > (and Linux) works rather better than it does under macOS.

I have to say that, once you get it set up right, LyX under Windows (and Linux) works rather better than it does under macOS. It loads *much *faster and just seems snappier all around; forward/inverse searching in particular is faster and more accurate. (Both startup and forward search on macOS have been glacial under the last few iterations, though they're improved in 2.3.3.) >> According to this page of the wiki: > >> > >> https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX > >> > >> it's something you need to create yourself. > > The need to create lyxeditor.cmd is only mentioned in the section on > Okular for Windows.

Oh...right. :-) I'll try to gussy up the sections on LyX+SumatraPDF once the semester is comfortably under way. It could definitely use some work. -chris

Riki I still think that the SumatraPDF section in the wiki might just be rolled back. Everything seems to work fine for me without having the lyxeditor.cmd. Daniel

The need to create lyxeditor.cmd is only mentioned in the section on Okular for Windows. That one needs to create it oneself is as far as I can see not mentioned in the section on configuring SumatraPDF, which is the PDF viewer I'm using. Might the Keepers of the Wiki consider mentioning the need to create this script right at the top of the section on SumatraPDF. Thanks for the info! -chris

According to this page of the wiki: https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX it's something you need to create yourself. If you do a web search for "lyxeditor.cmd", you'll find some other info along the same lines. Riki

But reverse search works just fine. So it seems not true that this file is necessary for it to work. I have SumatraPDF set up according to https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX#toc1. However, my inverse search command in the SumatraPDF Options is CMD /C (ECHO LYXCMD:revdvi:server-goto-file-row:%f %l) > \\.\pipe\lyxpipe.in Someone named KJO seems to have changed the command there in the summer. Not sure why. Maybe someone can restore it to a working version? Best, Daniel
Missing lyxeditor.cmd?
Gentle LyX folk, I have installed LyX 2.3.3 on a Dell XPS laptop and, Lo, the installation's bin directory appears to be missing lyxeditor.cmd, which is of course crucial for inverse search. Is this an oversight? Or is it now in some other directory? Thanks. Chris Menzel
