Re: Customize Copier in LyX
For now, I just added to shortcuts, one for buffer-view and one for export. They works fine. Just wonder why cannot put them together.
Re: Customize Copier in LyX
Finally, I realized part of function that I want, though not satisfactorily. I found that a pdf file in a temp folder is updated very time I pdflatex. Say, C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Temp\lyx_tmpdir.Hp2836\lyx_tmpbuf2. Every time pdflatex open the viewer, it opens the this file. Thus the viewer for pdflatex is defined as SumatraView.bat, which is start /D %~dp1 /B SumatraPDF.exe -reuse-instance -inverse- search lyxeditor.exe %%f %%l %~nx1 copy %~1 D:\Dropbox\PDFs /Y The first line are openning the pdfviewer and passing inverse search parameters. The second copies the file from the temporary folder to the Dropbox folder. Everytime I pdflatex, the PDF is copied to the specified folder. However, there is one more thing I would like to do: instead of putting it in a specific folder, I have the PDF file be put in the same folder as the lyx file is. I have checked that when pdflated run the pdf viewer, only the path of the temporary file is passed to SumatraView.bat. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the path of the lyx file? Thanks in advance! Best, Xi

Customize Copier in LyX
I am writing something using LyX in Windows. I just want a simple funtion that every time I run pdfletex, the pdf file can be copied to the same folder in which the lyx file is. As these files will be sycronized by Dropbox, I can reat it on iPhone or iPad. I know that this has been discribed in Customization.lyx as a simple example. However, I have no idea of how Python works and how to make photocopier.sh executable. I don't have too much time to look into this and it will be highly appreciated if anyone can give me a simple script or compiled file to have this function. Thanks in advance! Best regards, Xi Zhang
