Problem forward/inverse searching with Sumatrapdf 2.4

[Andy]

I am unable to get forward inverse searching working. Have followed
instructions at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX, and have tried
reinstalling the Lyx+miktex bundle

Generating the PDF is no problem. When I attempt to forward search, the Lyx
status bar reports "(forward-search)", no error is thrown, and focus shifts
to sumatrapdf, however, no highlighting appears.

Lyx Version: 2.0.7
OS: Windows 7 (64bit)

Thanks in advance for any help and look forward to fixing this issue

For some reason, miktex does not understand/obey the command lyx inserts
into the preamble when you check the "Enable Forward/Reverse Search"
button in the toolbar and does not generate the necessary info.

The generation of the required info can be forced by changing the
converter "LaTeX (pdflatex) -> PDF (pdflatex)" in
Preferences->File handling->Converters from the default "pdflatex $$i"
to "pdflatex -synctex=1 $$i" (i.e., by adding the -synctex=1 switch).
After that it should work (supposing that you performed the necessary
configuration as explained in the above link).

Works like a charm. Thanks!

You're welcome :)

Hello all,

On my Ubuntu 13.04 machine, running LyX 2.0.7, I downloaded a thesis
file in this zip file:
http://uthm-thesis-lyx.googlecode.com/files/uthm-thesis-lyx-V-05.zip.
Specifically, I am using the UTHM-Thesis-Classic-authoryear-V-05.lyx
file that I unzipped to my Downloads folder. However, when I open it up,
the tools for linguistics that I expect (Covington examples,
Glosse/Tri-Glosse custom insets) are not available in the file. How can
I get these features into this template so that I can format the thesis
correctly for my own needs?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

I'm embarrassed at how easy that was. Thank you!
