I reviewed the PDF viewers LyX is searching for. It turned out that the
last stable version of KGhostView and KPDF were released 9 years ago, so
I think we could remove their support.
Under Linux I was looking for a PDF program with which I can properly
fill out and submit PDF forms. I found the Program Master PDF editor and
would therefore like to support it in LyX.
I also found out that "ghostview" is deprecated since years and gv,
gsview64 and gsview32 are the replacements (which we already support).
So the attached patch removes to check for ghostview, KPDF and
KGhostView and adds to check for masterpdfeditor.
Could this go in or are there any reasons against this?
thanks and regards
Uwe
