direct search:
Tools->Preferences->Output->General
xdvi -nofork -sourceposition "$$n $$t" $$o -editor
"lyxeditor.sh %f
%l"
"-nofork" part is needed because of the pipe?
I guess: the point is that without -nofork if you have xdvi already open,
lyx starts a new instance every time you execute direct search.
I also addedd the -editor option.
Have you really tried without nofork option?
I just tried the standard call
xdvi -sourceposition 445:example.tex example.dvi
and no new instance was opened, instead it correctly jumped in already existing
viewer.
Yes, I really tried both and it was like I described. I am sure: I clearly
remember having two open instances of xdvi.
But now I tried again and it works correctly even without the nofork
options.
I can't understand what is happening! I am puzzled. :(
