Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ DVI Viewer

[alastairescott]

Hi

I've installed TexNMaker and am able to proview my documents with Yap. However, I get annoyed by Yap opening a new window each time I do QuickBuild - ideally, I'd like to see only the latest version of my document.

Is there an easy way to do this? Do I need a different DVI viewer?

I'm not bothered if I need to skip the DVI view and use something else - I just want to be able to see my document on-screen.

Hi alastairescott,

I'm working on Linux now and cannot test my suggestions, but I will try to help. The Texmaker user manual gives examples in 4.7 for configuring dvi-viewers, the one for yap is ("Configure Texmaker" -> "Commands"):

Code: Select all

\"C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.5/miktex/bin/yap.exe\" -1 -s @%.tex %.dvi

That command line switch -1 does the same like --single-instance, see YAP manual Command line switches.
