- After installing LyX I'm not able to view PDF's because there is no default viewer for PDF although GSview is installed.
I am not quite sure if this is the case, but first, you can set the viewer by yourself after lyx is installed. Second, if no other windows application can view pdf, why should lyx be blamed for not doing so?
- The default image editor is always MS Paint, no matter if you have installed the Gimp or Photoshop. And with Paint you can't really edit images.
Again, we now hand viewer and editor business to the windows and mac os, and free ourselves from the headache. It is not terribly difficult to set the viewer and editor you want *after* lyx is installed. You prefer photoshop over paint, but some others may want the opposite.
That's why I spend so much time to detect installed programs while the installation and this requires to accept the found programs. I mean why do we then create a lyxrc.defaults file and check for programs if LyX don't use it?
Under windows, the programs should not be detected at all. JMarc and others do not want to treat windows differently, so the detection remains.
To fix the wrong executables names in configure.py I thaught I could send a patched version. But if LyX don't accept it, I have to wait until LyX 1.4.3 to have this fixed, is that correct?
Sorry that I have not read your patch.. but executable names are irrelevant under windows now. Bo
