Re: Update function does not update already open document

[Basma Qazi Chaudhry]

Thank you for the tex exchange link here below. I had been trying to use Skim 
as well as the mac Previewer app but unsuccessfully as far as the automatic 
reloading was concerned ( a more apt search term that I was thus far missing). 
Turns out I was missing this bit in Skim which one would have supposed to have 
been enabled by default. 

http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/manual/SkimHelp_39.html 

that is an option to Automatically update files for external updates.

 According to this page:
 
 http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/43057/macosx-pdf-viewer-automatic-reload-on-file-modification
 
 you should be able to just use the default OS X Preview program, but there 
 are other suggestions in the answers that you could try (e.g. Skim, TeXShop).

 Hello LyX people,
 
 I am new user to LyX (2.1.1) on Mavericks, facing a rather basic problem.
 I compile using ps2pdf or pdflatex with the PDF opening in the chosen viewer.
 If it remains open, any changes are not reflected using the update function.
 The generated PDF always needs closing, then viewing again.
 The OS default PDF viewer is Adobe which may have been the issue.
 I changed it to Skim  Previewer for ps2pdf  pdflatex.
 Still no updating.
 The non-updating bit applies to other formats as well (tried DVI, EPS).
 Successful Preview of format:PDF (ps2pdf) is displayed when viewing.
 Successful export to format: PDF (ps2pdf) is displayed for updating.
 
 A log file is available if needs be.
 
 
 Thanks in advance.
