Inverse search doesn't work

Post by Lucas Malor »

Hello all. I'm using Lyk 2 on Windows (since Ubuntu decided to not work after the upgrade...) and I tried to activate the inverse search for SumatraPDF. I changed the output option in the document settings and modified the Lyx settings as specified in the manual, but nothing. SumatraPDF gives me the error "Cannot start inverse search command" etc. I checked the command in SumatraPDF settings and it is correct.
Is it possible I don't have some required module? I don't have an internet connection currently.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Ok, I found an error, but it don't work anyway.
I searched for the .bat but I didn't found it. I created one as specified in the Addtional feature manual. This is the output of the batch:

Code: Select all

echo LYXCMD:revdvi:server-goto-file-row:C:\Documents and 1>\\.\pipe\lyxpipe.in
	output: the same
type \\.\pipe\lyxpipe.out
	output: INFO:revdvi:server-goto-file-row:
It's clearly a problem of spaces in the path. I tried to add "" around parameters, but nothing.

EDIT: I've forgotten the main rule "first search yourself"... I found this:

I hope it will work. Anyway I tried to download also CMCDDE, but the main link http://www.istri.fr/zip/CMCDDE.zip is unavailable.
