I have been testing LyX-1.6, and so /Applications/LyX.app on my system is a developmental build of LyX-1.6. There's a line in the lyxeditor script that is supposed to point to possible LyX user folders in ~/Library/Application Support/, but it currently does not point to the new (for 1.6) LyX-1.6 folder there. Correcting that makes the default setting in Skim work for me. Similarly, going back to LyX-1.5 works for me as well -- with the default Skim settings. Note, by the way, that Skim assumes it's dealing with a .tex file and it passes the complete path to the .tex file to lyxeditor. So what it actually calls (when I fill in the complete path to lyxeditor) is something like: /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyxeditor /path/to/foo.tex 123 (Even when I have the quotes around %file, I don't see the quotes in what it sends to lyxeditor, but I might be doing something wrong.) That means your worries about the .lyx file and complete path are, I believe, misplaced. Nonetheless, I can't yet explain why it fails to work for you with the default Skim settings or why you need to remove the quotes from %file to get it to work. Do you have LyX at /Applications/LyX.app? What is the actual filename of the file you are testing? (Does it have any unusual characters in it?) Have you specified a LyX temporary directory other than the default (/tmp)? If so, what is the complete path to it? Bennett
