LyX 2.3.4 and Evince/Okular synctex

[Ben Houcine]

After a week of Linux distros tests I settled yesterday with manjaro-gnome-19.0.2. This distro worked fine with the latest version of LyX.Concerning LyX synctex with Okular I have the following note to add to the pageLyX wiki | LyX / SyncTeX
The following are necessary:
1) In Document > Settings > Formats, check Synchronize with output (In windows 10 it's not necessary to do that because I think there is a difference between TeXLive versions in Windows and Linux and how they work)
2) Tools → Preferences → File Handling → File Formats
Select the format PDF (pdflatex)Set the Viewer field to Custom with a command: okular --unique

I note also that so far I have tested the command "okular --unique" don't work properly in Windows ports of okular.

- Synctex with Evince:It works great in my manjaro-gnome-19.0.2 tests, the only issue is that using the scripts http://www.spitzmueller.org/tools/lyx/evince_sync_lyx.zip
evince don't start maximized even if you save window settings in it.My solution is to edit the preceding scripts and replace "evince" by the command "evince --fullscreen"

- LyX version 2.3.4.4 (testing version):So far in my tests, I din't see any issue in Windows 10.
