Okular 0.15 and forward search

[Michael Bach]

Dear LyX Users and Developers,

I am running LyX 2.0.4 under Arch GNU/Linux with Okular 0.15. I got the inverse
search to work already and would like to use forward search.

Now I tried the predefined okular in Tools  Preferences  File Handling 
File Formats  Viewer

I also used a custom variant: okular --unique file:$$o#src:$$n $$t

which I found on the web and that did not work either. It opens the pdf file
correctly, but does not jump (near) to the line I am on in LyX.

So to all LyX-okular users: Was there any change to the okular syntax on the
0.15 update on August 1st regarding forward search? Any other tips?

Michael

 My suspicion is that the compiled-from-source lyx somehow failed to make
 contact with the spellchecker and dictionaries,
 and that when I run lyx it is that version (from /usr/local/bin) that is
 actually running.

You likely didn't compile with the corresponding options enabled
(aspell, hunspell and/or enchant).


 I do not have this problem on several other machines,
 where I used the binary installer (both for Windows and for ubuntu), which
 is why I suspect the compiled-from-source version.

If possible, try to install the version from the PPA: The
spellcheckers, when installed, should work out of the box.

Alas, it does not work at the moment. Okular meanwhile expects an
absolute path to the tex file, while $$t only outputs the filename
without path.

I'll have a look for the next release.

Now I tried the predefined "okular" in Tools > Preferences > File Handling >

I also used a custom variant: okular --unique "file:$$o#src:$$n $$t"

which I found on the web and that did not work either. It opens the pdf file
correctly, but does not jump (near) to the line I am on in LyX.
