 Your file is no textfile but consists of binary code. It can therefore  
 not be repaired. LyX files are textfiles as you can see when you open  
 LyX files with a text editors. I don't know how this could have  
 happened but are sure that LyX is not to blame here since LyX is not  
 able to create binary output.

 Maybe he did enable compression for his document? I dont't know, but  
 compressed Lyx-Documents look quite binary to me...

No, it was a *.lyx file that was completely filled by NUL characters
and a backup file that was partially ok and ended with a block of
NUL chars, too, both together in a .rar archive.

So that was not compression of the document, but compression for
transport, and that's completely fine in my opinion.

Re: Child document not updated

[bigblop]

Using 1.6 instead did not help.

I have made a minimal example:

http://37133.vs.webtropia.com/apache2-default/test.zip

I run it like this with LyX 1.6.3 on vista64:

1) From master run master-buffer-update pdf2.
2) From master run buffer-view pdf2.
3) Click each of the child document and choose edit (opens in a new tab).
4) Choose child2, write some text and execute master-buffer-update pdf2.

Now when I look in the previewer the updates made in child2 are not visible. 

If I do the same thing for child1 the updates are visible. Its seems that
its only child2 thats disconnected. I have tried adding a child3 after
child2 and it gets updated correctly too.

Now here comes the wierd part. If I type '½' using the keyboard button in
child2 and then run master-buffer-update pdf2 it gets updated! Though it
typically only works the first time.

I have been able to reproduce this error on my desktop PC/vista64, my
laptop/winXP and on another machine running Ubuntu 9.04.

Any ideas appreciated!

 Hopefully I can find 1.6 version of LyX (As far as I remember it did not

Hi Tad,

It goes in a layout file, and be sure to define the LaTeX routine chapauthor 
in the layout file too. Getting LyX to recognize layout files can get tricky,

Lyx converts all bitmaps to EPS, why?

[Manveru]

Hello All,

Has anyone know what could be a reason why LyX 1.6.3 converts all my
bitmaps (PNG, JPG) to EPS for pdflatex? I think it never happened

In temp dir, the .tex file contains references to .eps files. Pdflatex
complains.

Any advice? I do not have converters defined for JPG and PNG to EPS. :-(

As Steve says, be sure to include LaTeX code in the preamble for 
chapauthor; the layout file only tells LyX how to display it in the GUI, 
not how to get it into the output.


You have at least three options:

a.  Just put chapauthor in the preamble and skip the layout, then use 
ERT (raw LaTeX) to invoke the chapauthor environment as needed (i.e., 
put \begin{chapauthor} and \end{chapauthor} in ERT as needed).  LyX will 
not display the chapter authors in what you see is almost what you get 
mode, but they'll be in the output (charitably assuming your LaTeX code 
works).


b.  Create a layout file for your version of the book class by hacking 
the existing book.layout file and adding your new environment.


c.  Create a chapauthor module that contains the layout.  This has the 
potential advantage that you can add it to any document that understands 
what a chapter is (option b is restricted to documents using the basic 
book class).


As to where to put it, I gather you're on a Unix-like system.  LyX 
should already have created ~/.lyx for you, and it should contain a 
folder named ~/.lyx/layouts.  If not, look at Help  About LyX and see 
where your user directory is hiding.  Whether it's a full layout or  a 
module, I would park it there and then reconfigure LyX.


Incidentally, are you sure you want chapauthor to have LatexType 
Environment rather than Command?  I don't know how you're implementing 
it, but my first thought would be to insert the author as an argument to 
a command (not that I'm a TeXpert).

localization of LyX error message

Could somebody explain the following error message:

l.1349 ...cite {OCP95}{{305}{13.4.2}{figure.13.58}}

1349 is probably the line in the tex-file
OCP95 is the bib-key of my cited reference
I do not know what {305} indicates.
{13.4.2} is the subsection
and {figure.13.58}, well, one of my figures.

Does this mean, the error (citation OCP95) is between the subsection 13.4.2 
header and figure 13.58? And 305? Number of lines after the header?

Using hunspell as a spellchecker

[Theblond]

Hi!

I would like to use hunspell as the spellchecker.
I have installed it and a dictionary from sources
into /home/lyx/bin .

I've added an environment variable:
DICPATH=/home/lyx/share/myspell

I have uninstalled ispell and I have created a symlink (ispell) pointing
to hunspell. (ln -s hunspell ispell)

Unfortunately, it is not working. It says:
The spellchecker has died for some reason. Maybe it has been killed.

Hunspell has a pipe interface with the -a option.

Versions:

 - Hunspell v1.2.8 -

localization of LyX error message

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Could somebody explain the following error message:

l.1349 ...cite {OCP95}{{305}{13.4.2}{figure.13.58}}

1349 is probably the line in the tex-file
OCP95 is the bib-key of my cited reference
I do not know what {305} indicates.
{13.4.2} is the subsection
and {figure.13.58}, well, one of my figures.

Does this mean, the error (citation OCP95) is between the subsection 13.4.2 
header and figure 13.58? And 305? Number of lines after the header?

 You have at least three options:

 a.  Just put chapauthor in the preamble and skip the layout, then use ERT
 (raw LaTeX) to invoke the chapauthor environment as needed (i.e., put
 \begin{chapauthor} and \end{chapauthor} in ERT as needed).  LyX will not
 display the chapter authors in what you see is almost what you get mode,

 Incidentally, are you sure you want chapauthor to have LatexType
 Environment rather than Command?  I don't know how you're implementing it,
 but my first thought would be to insert the author as an argument to a
 command (not that I'm a TeXpert).



Hmmm...Obviously I'm even more ignorant than I thought. I didn't realize
that I need some TeX code as well, though I suppose that does make sense.
I'd put that in the preamble if I had such code, but I don't even know where
to start writing TeX code that matches my LyX layout.

Style Chapter Author

LatexType Environment

Is there any chance that someone could point me to a simple example that I

Using hunspell as a spellchecker

[Theblond]

Hi!

I would like to use hunspell as the spellchecker.
I have installed it and a dictionary from sources
into /home/lyx/bin .

I've added an environment variable:

I have uninstalled ispell and I have created a symlink (ispell) pointing
to hunspell. (ln -s hunspell ispell)

Unfortunately, it is not working. It says:
The spellchecker has died for some reason. Maybe it has been killed.

Hunspell has a pipe interface with the -a option.

No, it was a *.lyx file that was completely filled by NUL characters
and a backup file that was partially ok and ended with a block of
NUL chars, too, both together in a .rar archive.

So that was not "compression of the document", but "compression for
transport", and that's completely fine in my opinion.

Re: Child document not updated

[bigblop]

Using 1.6 instead did not help.

I have made a minimal example:

http://37133.vs.webtropia.com/apache2-default/test.zip

I run it like this with LyX 1.6.3 on vista64:

1) From master run master-buffer-update pdf2.
2) From master run buffer-view pdf2.
3) Click each of the child document and choose edit (opens in a new tab).
4) Choose child2, write some text and execute master-buffer-update pdf2.

Now when I look in the previewer the updates made in child2 are not visible. 

If I do the same thing for child1 the updates are visible. Its seems that
its only child2 thats "disconnected". I have tried adding a child3 after
child2 and it gets updated correctly too.

Now here comes the wierd part. If I type '½' using the keyboard button in
child2 and then run master-buffer-update pdf2 it gets updated! Though it
typically only works the first time.

I have been able to reproduce this error on my desktop PC/vista64, my
laptop/winXP and on another machine running Ubuntu 9.04.

Any ideas appreciated!

Hi Tad,

It goes in a layout file, and be sure to define the LaTeX routine chapauthor 
in the layout file too. Getting LyX to recognize layout files can get tricky, 
so I've written a no-fail sure fire layout document here:

Lyx converts all bitmaps to EPS, why?

[Manveru]

Hello All,

Has anyone know what could be a reason why LyX 1.6.3 converts all my
bitmaps (PNG, JPG) to EPS for pdflatex? I think it never happened
before. This is happening on Windows.

In temp dir, the .tex file contains references to .eps files. Pdflatex
complains.

Any advice? I do not have converters defined for JPG and PNG to EPS. :-(

I cannot reproduce this. Does this happen when you export your ile as LaTeX (pdflatex) or when 
viewing your file as PDF (pdflatex)?

font size of footnote number mark in footnote line

[Markus Büchele]

Hi,

I'm using the book class and cannot get the numbers of footnotes in the 
footnote lines (not the text) into the following format:
normal size, not superscript

As I am not using KOMA this does not work:
\deffootnote[1em]{1.5em}{1em}{\textsuperscript{\thefootnotemark}}

How do I get rid of the superscript?

I have configured the footnotes with footmisc so far:

\usepackage[hang]{footmisc}
\setlength{\footnotemargin}{0.7cm}
\renewcommand{\footnoterule}{}

Thanks for your help!

You can do whatever you like with keybindings. See the Shortcuts

As Steve says, be sure to include LaTeX code in the preamble for 
chapauthor; the layout file only tells LyX how to display it in the GUI, 
not how to get it into the output.


You have at least three options:

a.  Just put chapauthor in the preamble and skip the layout, then use 
ERT (raw LaTeX) to invoke the chapauthor environment as needed (i.e., 
put \begin{chapauthor} and \end{chapauthor} in ERT as needed).  LyX will 
not display the chapter authors in "what you see is almost what you get" 
mode, but they'll be in the output (charitably assuming your LaTeX code 
works).


b.  Create a layout file for your version of the book class by hacking 
the existing book.layout file and adding your new environment.


c.  Create a "chapauthor" module that contains the layout.  This has the 
potential advantage that you can add it to any document that understands 
what a chapter is (option b is restricted to documents using the basic 
book class).


As to where to put it, I gather you're on a Unix-like system.  LyX 
should already have created ~/.lyx for you, and it should contain a 
folder named ~/.lyx/layouts.  If not, look at Help > About LyX and see 
where your "user directory" is hiding.  Whether it's a full layout or  a 
module, I would park it there and then reconfigure LyX.


Incidentally, are you sure you want chapauthor to have LatexType 
Environment rather than Command?  I don't know how you're implementing 
it, but my first thought would be to insert the author as an argument to 
a command (not that I'm a TeXpert).
