Syncing skim with LyX

[Ehud Behar]

Thanks. I haven't mentioned it in the first post, but I did came over this wiki page. I just thought that it gets too deep than I need since it explains how to get reverse search.

I first want just to open the preview with a pdf viewer that is not going to make jumps. So let's say that I am examining my output on page 4 of the document, make change in LyX and then press ⌘+R again, I don't want the pdf viewer to view the top of the first page.

And Skim has this feature, that's why I want to use it.

What I tried is to to set in Preferences->Outout->General: PDF command "/Applications/Skim.app" as seen in the picture.

And also adding "Contents/SharedSupport/displayline $$n $$o $$t" after "Skim.app/".

But everything is just the same. LyX views the rendered file with macOS Preview.

Any help?
