Re: slow cursor speed
Scott, Sorry to trouble you again. As mentioned below, downgrading to 2.3.0 fixes my slow cursor speed issue. It however does present the new problem of no being able to edit files I have written since. Specifically I get this error message now: filepath.lyx is from a newer version of LyX and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it. Is there a straightforward workaround?

Re: slow cursor speed
Hi Scott, Thanks. So to summarize, the most recent versions of LyX on my MacOS Monterey setup led to increasingly slow typing and cursor speed with increasing paragraph length, even for paragraphs not very long with nothing else in the document. The fix seems to be to revert to version 2.3.

Re: slow cursor speed
Hi Scott, I backtracked on LyX version to 2.3.0 from 2018. That seems to have fixed the slow cursor and typing seed problems fingers crossed. It does however introduce a new problem which is the below. If you know a simple fix I should be good I hope.

Scott, Well an unfortunate update. Scrolling works fine. But select (shift arrow) scrolling has the same issue of being slower with longer paragraphs. It seems some bug was fixed perhaps suggesting there’s a related bug too that might need addressing?

slow cursor speed
I’m near the point that I have to abandon LyX after using it religiously as an academic since 2000 (when it was kLyX-0.12). That makes me *very* sad. The problem is that as a paragraph gets longer, the cursor gets slower. The paragraph doesn’t have to be very long (e.g. a few sentences) for this to be a significant issue. A single paragraph of plain text could be the only thing in the document. Thanks to those who have helped previously but still no progress.

Re: Laggy cursor
For what it’s worth, thanks to Stephan’s comments, LyX starts up normally now with the re-initialization of the LyX-2.3 folder per the below. But the laggy cursor with longer paragraphs issue remains. I do not experience this in other writing apps (e.g. Word), or any lagginess at all. Again, help much appreciated as this is kind of crippling for any writing I do for work.

In hindsight, should have anticipated the python was unrelated to speed. Apologies I’ve minimized applications checking Activity Monitor.

Re: Laggy cursor
You’re genius. Thank you. Deleted old python installation. Installed new python installation from Python.org. Fingers crossed all better now. No laggy cursor and no hiccups on lyx initialization. So to recap, the fix for a slow cursor with long paragraphs was to reinstall Python confirming it shows up in /Applications Tim On 10 Aug 2023, at 5:27, Stephan Witt wrote: > Am 10.08.2023 um 07:11 schrieb Tim Garrett : >> >> Thanks.

Re: Laggy cursor
Thanks. Not sure I did it right, but this is what I did. Added that string to the PATH as follows /Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/texbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/tgarrett/opt/anaconda3/bin quit, restarted, reconfigured. Still get the same error message: The layout file: article could not be found. A default textclass with default layouts will be used. LyX will not be able to produce correct output.

Re: Laggy cursor
Hi Scott, Thank you for the quick response. Definitely not a branch. If the source LaTeX pane is the code preview pane, that is not open either (I also noticed that suggestion searching through threads).

Laggy cursor
I’ve been having a problem with cursor and typing speed. I find the speed of the cursor is inversely proportional to the length of the paragraph I write. Fine for one sentence. Anything more is pretty bad and of course gets tiresome. I’d appreciate any ideas as I’ve been a user since KLyX 0.3 in 2001 so pretty much my entire career is now on a super-laggy platform.

Re: lyx2lyx fails to convert
Excellent. Thanks Stephan and Paul.
/System/Volumes/Data/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx
-v Contrast\ paper.lyx > Test.lyx
produced a document Test.lyx that could be read by LyX 2.3.6.2.
This converted document was fairly recent (2016) so fingers crossed it
works too on older documents as well.

Hi Tim,
you have to change your command - lyx2lyx is a folder in Resources:

$

To verify the output in terminal you should use it w/o redirect to

Another option is to use the message pane in LyX:
1. Start LyX
2. Activate Message Pane (menu item of the View menu)
3. Switch to the Settings tab
4. Choose „Selected“ at left and „info“ at right.
5. Open the file „Contrast paper.lyx“
6. Check the Output contents of the Message Pane

In case it’s a python problem the following command and it’s

There does not seem to be any problem with the header. I created an
empty LyX document with it, and the lyx2lyx script had no issues
processing it. So the problem must be in the document body.
You can try the following. Find the lyx2lyx executable on your
system. On Debian based Linux systems, it defaults to
/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx. I have no idea where it is on a Mac,
so I'll just refer to the equivalent string as "". In a
terminal window, run
-v
which should print the converted document line by line in the
terminal window. If it gorks, hopefully you will be able to see what
it choked on and possibly an error message, which you can bring back
to the list.

Re: Voice Recognition Accessibility
I can't help you directly -- but consider instead setting up Nuance Dragon Dictate to put LyX into LaTeX insertion mode, then translate LaTeX directly. This will give you everything that LyX can give you, with the benefit -- to other users if not immediately to you -- of being useful for any tool that supports LaTeX, not least being folks who might light to author documents in LaTeX directly. Quoting Jodin Morey : Hello Lyx Developers, My name is Jodin, and I recently graduated with my doctorate in mathematics. I have a disability which requires me to use voice recognition to input mathematics into my computer. For the last 10 years or so, I have used three pieces of software (on Windows) to accomplish this. However, recently two of these software packages (Scientific Notebook and MathTalk) stopped being supported (the underlying companies went out of business). As a result, I have been looking for some other software I might be able to use. The voice recognition software I use (the primary desktop voice recognition software in existence) is Nuance Dragon Dictate. It was recently purchased by Microsoft, so it is doubtful that this piece of software will become unsupported anytime soon. However, there are no longer any off-the-shelf software packages which translate the recognized words into math, so I am interested in developing something along these lines. In particular, I thought I might develop something around Lyx. It's unfortunate that the voice technology allowing people with disabilities to write mathematics has recently disappeared. I am hopeful that Lyx can become the future provider of this capability. I like Lyx because it is open source, and I wish to avoid relying on another piece of software that is profit based, and might go out of business someday. The idea is to create hundreds of scripts in Dragon Dictate. That way, when I say "VarOmega," for example, Dragon Dictate will turn my voice into words, recognize the words as a Dragon Dictate Script, which can then choose from a pulldown menu on Lyx, or just enter the right keystrokes. The main barrier I face right now (other than the time it will take to develop all of the scripts), is that many of the mathematical objects in Lyx are not available either through a menubar or keystroke. So my request to the developers would be to add keystroke accessibility to as many mathematical objects as possible. To make things easier, these keystrokes do not need to be documented in any way. You needn't add the keystroke information on the user interface (for example, when you hover your mouse over the button for the math object, or in the help documentation). The point would not be to offer the average user a quick keystroke. And to that end, the keystroke could be very obscure (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Meta+K), it doesn't need to be simple at all. Doing this does not limit Dragon Dictate's ability to type the keystroke, and simultaneously opens up a lot of keystrokes. Regardless, I will start developing this the voice recognition capacity with the keystrokes you currently have available, as I need it for my own purposes. However, I believe developing this more comprehensively is an important thing for the disability community. And I believe the coding effort required is somewhat minimal. -- Jodin -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Re: Articles written with LyX

Re: Quicker build
Can you identify why it takes so long? Are you splitting it up by chapter? I would certainly expect that a per-chapter rendering would take less time (at least per chapter), unless the document contains a lot of cross-references. Usually the reason I need to do frequent document compiles is to make sure I'm getting my equations right -- if you could configure Lyx to not compile the references (or whatever it is that is slow and that you don't need on an immediate basis) when you build per-chapter, then perhaps your speed will go up? Quoting Daniel : Hi, My manuscript takes very long to fully compile, a couple of minutes. I have already tried to only compile parts of it but there was not much difference. Since LaTeX is running several rounds in order to get all the references and such right, is there a way to get LyX to run less rounds? Daniel

Run pdflatex multiple times?
Hello all, I'm having issues with misaligned float elements, TOC items, captions and such (tufte-book class). Restarting lyx and compiling a fresh pdf document (whicht takes longer than otherwise) solves these problems most of the time. Can I tell lyx to run pdflatex, say, three times and/or delete all temporary files before compiling? Thanks for your help, Tim

Opening and saving with newer versions could change something you don't want. Did you create the file using 2.0.8.1? Which version of LyX are you using now? How did you install that version?

AGUjournal template from class
Hi,
I am looking for a way to use the AGUjournal.cls for AGU's journal Space
Weather within a Lyx Template. The latest version of their latex class
was updated on 2016-11-03.
The Lyx template for AGU journals seems to use the now outdated
AGUTeX.cls which doesn't have a journal class option for Space Weather.
AGU publish several journals with the same .cls file. From what I acn
gather the journal name should be specified for the old AGUTex Lyx
template in the Document Settings>Document Class>Class options as a code
i.e.:jgrga. For the new AGUjournal.cls this is done in the LaTeX switch
\journalname{Space Weather}.
Strangely, the Lyx template for an AGUTex paper provides a link to
http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AGUTeXwhich tells us to download the newer
AGUjournal.cls from
https://publications.agu.org/files/2016/11/agu-template-updated-20161103.zip
then the instructions for Linux on the wiki say to copy the outdated
agutex.cls file to a location. This zip file doesn't contain the
agutex.cls file because it is outdated. It was easy to modify these
instructions to copy the newer AGUjournal.cls but this has left me
wondering if I've done something wrong.
Is there a Lyx template that uses the latest AGUjournal class? Or is
there some way to use it?
I'm using Lyx 2.1.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.
Thanks in advance.
Tim
PS: I'm a huge fan of Lyx, I used it to write my PhD thesis and am very

Re: RCS Version Control on Windows
Have you tried making sure that the RCS archive is getting copied across? If you're just transporting the lyx file then you will, of course, not be getting the history in the archive. Can you find a cloud-based version control service (Github? -- I'm so naive)? Your version control wouldn't be integrated with lyx, then, but RCS is so old it creaks.

The Example per screenhot causes the compilation to PDF to run endlessly. I cannot interrupt the process and am forced to cut the power off. That makes it even worse - in most cases I am left with a spoiled file (0 bites). However, sometimes the file (a child document) remains intact and if I then remove the example the export to PDF succeeds as normal. All characters had been typed in using the keyboard. I want to add that none of those characters used in the Example poses a problem when typed in normal text or in a gloss as a single character. I can't tell you what's going on (aside from the fact that you've probably found a way to make TeX recurse or loop), but I'll bet that whoever _can_ tell you what's going on will want to see the Lyx file that causes the problem. Attach it, maybe? If the thing is huge or proprietary, try trimming your document down to the one offending equation. That'll either provide a nice, compact Lyx file to distribute, or it won't cause the problem in the first place which will be usefully educational.

I've had no trouble in the past with Beamer and miniboxes, but I have noticed that Beamer thinks a slide is 100mm across, or something oddball like that.

Could it be bigger than the size of the minipage, but not getting clipped? Tim, Quite possible. I have not found where I can reduce the size. I just tried changing that minipage size to 45 mm rather than 45% of line width to no avail. Suggestions? Change the table size? I'm not a tables expert, but I think that if you scale the columns as a % of the page width they'll go with the size of the minipage; if you scale them absolutely then they'll stay, well, absolute. I hit the boundaries of my competence with my last post, and I'm rapidly exceeding them -- I need to shut up before I say something altogether stupid.

Appendix issue
Hi, I am working on my PhD thesis using LyX 2.0.5 on OS X 10.8.2, and the weirdest thing is happening with my appendix. I have set up the appendix region (using start appendix here) and included the appendix files in my parent document. The TOC outline and the Navigator see them perfectly, and title them correctly as Appendix A Appendix B Appendix C etc. - wonderful However when I render the document as a PDF, they all get renamed to Chapter, all except the first appendix - which still retains the title Appendix A. Even if I put multiple appendices in just one lyx file, it still keeps the name Appendix A for the first appendix but changes every later one to chapter. Any thoughts as to what is going on?

Separately export all child documents
Hello all, I have a large document consisting of one master document and several child documents. Is there a convenient way to export all child documents to separate documents?

pdf preview in LyX 2.0
I just updated to LyX 2.0 (mac os X 10.6.8) and the pdf preview feature no longer works. It used to pop up in adobe acrobat. Now LyX successfully processes the file, but no longer opens the acrobat window. I am still able to successfully export a pdf to my directory tree, but of course this requires the extra step of opening before the file is viewable. I have tried hard-wiring the pdflatex executable to acrobat under Preferences -- File Handling --File Format -- Viewer but to no avail. I can open a dvi but dvipdfm doesn't work, so I suspect there's something in the link to the pdf handler that is broken. Thanks for advice. Tim
