Zathura +Lyx

2014-12-01 Thread Oliver Sargent

Hi All,

For some reason I would like to use zathura to view .pdf files generated 
by clicking on the preview button in Lyx. I have edited the field 
preferencesfile format pdflatexviewer so that it now says custom and 
in the text box it says zathura. Now the problem is when I click the 
preview button zathura opens but does not display the correct file. 
Presumably Lyx has to pass some file name to zathura, I have tried $$f, 
$$r etc, but this didn't work either. When I try these options two 
instances of zathura open, one is empty and the other displays a 
'filetype not supported' message. I have tested zathura and it is 
perfectly able to open regular .pdf files. I have also searched online 
and I am unable to find a solution to this problem, does anyone have any 
suggestion?


Best wishes

Oli
