General ⇒ Problem with gsviewer

[mr_pink]

Hi,

I'm using TexnicCenter with the MikTex distribution on windows and the LaTex => PS profile.

I've been working like this for some weeks and everything used to work just fine. After viewing my document i left it open I went back to TexnicCenter and altered my document. and when I pressed the compile and view button again, it opened the altered document in the already opened gsv window at the page where i had left it open.

Now when i open my document it opens a new gsv window, no matter how many open ones there are already. That means i have to close the register dialogue and scroll down maaany pages every time i want to look at what i'm writing. This might not seem like a terrible problem but it is really unnerving as my document will have 120 pages in the end.

Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

As viewer settings i have "%bm.ps" at both lines.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Anne,

it seems your gsview version opens new windows each call as default (multiple instance). For single instance add the -e option to the command parameters.
The new viewer settings should therefore be on both lines: -e "%bm.ps"

Thank you so much for the quick response! you made my day!

Since GSview observes changes in a once opened file, you don't need to open a new instance after processing the source code. Just get the GSview window in the foreground.


Best regards
