Hi, I just got Skim to pdfsync with LyX. It took me a while, and I think my
problems were that I had defined my lyxpipe in ~/.lyx/.lyxpipe. Now I set it
just as ~/.lyx. Another problem I had was that LyX could not find the
pdfsync.sty package so I downloaded it and stuck it in my working folder. If
anyone can tell me what I should have done please say!

My question now is, I am writing a long document with many chapters so I
stick all the chapters into child documents which I include in a parent
document. If I compile the whole document then Command-Shift clicking in
Skim it will only relolcate the courser in the parent document in LyX - that
is if I am reading a middle chapter it does not work. Does anyone know if
there is a way to fix this?

Your solution might be to proof read each chapter seperately. The only
problem with this is that I have many references to figures and equations in
different chapters and these would be shown as ??, so I have no way of
telling if the link is actually broken or not. Actually a most common
problem I have is forgetting to change the reference type - that is
sometimes I might refer to a figure number and other times to a page. I
don't really want to read the document again just to check for these errors.

Cheers,

Chris.

Mac OS 10.4, LyX 1.6rc4, Skim 1.1.13


ps, I might formally add this as a feature request: It would be very nice to
be able to search within child documents from within the parent document
with Find.

Also being able to search for occurences label names - both when they are
defined and or when they are refered to. This would make debugging much
easier when LyX refuses to compile.
