Re: New installation - eye preview button greyed out

[Kristen Lurie]

The view button (command+R) is greyed out -- it says command disabled when typing the shortcut. It looks like the view master document is also grey -- but this is less of a concern.  Here is an example of the toolbar:  On Jun 18, 2013, at 12:09 AM, Stephan Witt <st.w...@gmx.net> wrote: Am 18.06.2013 um 08:29 schrieb Kristen Lurie <klu...@stanford.edu>: I recently install LyX on a new machine (MacOSX 10.8.4).

Is this related to some type of preview plugin that I don't have? Do you have other suggestions for why this button might not be active? You should have three "eyes" buttons. Which one is greyed out? The first should be enabled and is for the default "viewer". It should trigger the pdflatex run and the pdf-viewer open. It should work out of the box. You don't need any preview plugin. Stephan
