Re: Local modules under Windows 10 [Solved]

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Digging a bit deeper, I have been able to locate the source of the problem
and solve it (even if I do not understand why it happened):
When I tried to open the .module files using the Notepad, I have discovered
that these files have not been correctly copied for a strange reason. I
have used Explorer2 file manager for copying them, and it was showing the
name of the files and their sizes (>0) in the destination folder, but these
files were not visible under File Explorer of Windows. When I used the
latter for copying the files again, LyX has been able to find them. I am
relieved even if I continue to be puzzled (but the problem is a Explorer2
problem now, not a LyX one).

Thank you again Paul. Your tip has put me on the correct path (! :-) ) by
confirming the folder to dig in.

Tip of my hat!

Best regards,

Murat

Hi again,

As a follow up to my preceding mail on LyX on Yoga Book, I have some 
difficulties to make LyX to find modules I normally install locally 
(mainly Beamerincrementedlists module). I have put this module under 
~/AppData/Roaming/Lyx22/layouts, and reconfigured LyX , but it 
continues to complain about not being able to find it when I open a 
Beamer file using it. I have also tried the folder ~\AppData\Local\LyX 
2.2\Resources\layouts and no success (after again Reconfigure + 
restart LyX). Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong ?


My last experience with Windows was with XP, but see that MS has kept 
more or less the same folder structure, so I have the impression that 
I do what is necessary and I am puzzled byt the unsuccessful outcome.


Thank you in advance for your help !

Murat

If you open LyX and click Help > About LyX, the initial (Version) tab 
should list your user directory. There should be a layouts folder under 
that directory, and you can store local modules there.
