Not surprising. This is likely due to different preferences. Because we wanted the 2.2.0alpha2 installation to be completely different, it is good that it is not using the preferences from before. You can try copying manually the preferences file used for 2.1.4. To see where your user directory is, go to Help > About. Copy the file named "preferences" from your 2.1.4 location to the 2.2.0alpha2 location. > I tried to adjust Prefs/Output/PDF Command, but cannot seem to change the > program used for PDFs. > > At first, the drop-down setting was blank (this was true in my settings > for > both LyX versions). After selecting Can you please send a screenshot of where it is blank? I would like to debug this. I cannot reproduce-- for me, both Evince and Okular are shown. > (ps.
