RE: RCS Version Control on Windows
YES! I discovered that the hard way. I also created a wiki for that at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/VersionControlInstallationAndUsage Best Regards, Ahmad Abdullah > Date: Sun, 24 Jul 2016 16:51:35 -0700 > From: sa...@lyx.org > To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org > Subject: Re: RCS Version Control on Windows > > Richard Heck wrote: > > On 06/30/2016 07:10 PM, Ahmad Abdullah wrote: > >> This is just a recap and for future reference ( I will include it in the > >> wiki as well).

Actually in current LyX setup RCS is more feature rich than git and given it's storage simplicity it's often better alternative than git. Things change if you want collaborate or store also figures.

You might want to look at Help->Additional Features, section "Version Control in LyX". Most probably too late since you already switched to git, but anyway - for your original problem, my guess is that you have different user name at work and at home. LyX uses RCS in the way that only the same name which locked the document can unlock it again. So if you have different username it will choke on that. Second problem might by that OneDrive does not correctly store read-only flags of the files, which is for RCS/SVN critical because they use locking. Pavel
change color of citation
Hi, in a KOMA Script document I am using biblatex and jura.bib style. The citations in the PDF text have the color lightgreen (or so) which is too pallid. Is there a way to change this color, say to a darker green ? Cheers and thanks, Michael
