LyX detects dangling pipes on start and automatically deletes them. I don't know why this mechanism was not working for you. -- Enrico

(I don’t understand this well.) I discovered that when LyX quit it was leaving .lyxpipe.in and .lyxpipe.out and the LyX wiki says that these should be deleted when LyX quit. How did I figure this out? I was using BibDesk (Mac GUI for BibTeX) and the “Send to LyX” command. It failed with a very specific error dialog about the LyX pipe. So I figured that Skim must do something similar. Is it possible to have LyX also provide a helpful error dialog when there are pipe problems instead of just failing quietly? Jerry

Reverse search with Skim broken again
I once again find that reverse search using Skim and LyX on macOS doesn’t work. LyX 2.3.2, Skim 1.4.40. Forward search works but when reverse search is attempted, LyX moves to the front but does not move the cursor and does not scroll the window contents. I don’t remember when this last worked but it was on the order of weeks ago. I don’t remember when I updated LyX to 2.3.2. LyX is at /Applications/Lyx.app Skim is at /Applications/PDF_Viewers/Skim.app I have read and re-read the list thread from March 14, 2018, and the wiki at https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX. I’m stumped. This was working not long ago and nothing has changed to my knowledge. However, I did notice that Document > Settings > Formats > check Synchronize with output somehow got checked off.
