btw, another thing I very much appreciate is your tex2lyx snapshot. In fact I am using it right now to avoid my earlier relyx-problems. What I'm not sure about: Would you like users (like me) to give feedback now, or will testing start later on?
Feedback is good. Apart from the obvious file name problem that Jose has had trouble with, there's a small bug in the latex parser that was corrected yesterday by Georg Baum. I've posted an updated version to http://www.devel.lyx.org/~leeming/tex2lyx_win32_02Feb05.zip but preliminary testings suggest that it is struggling with more file name problems.
I'm out of town for a week or so as of Friday. I'd hope and expect things to be better by the time I return.
Overall I'm quite impressed! But it still required some corrections afterwards, although I suspect some problems may be windows-specific (e.g. because of line-ending characters -- although I used an editor to try both unixish and windowsish settings without any difference!?). And I ended up using absolute paths everywhere for includegraphics as a simple workaround, because relative ones didn't work (tex2lyx complained "couldn't find"). Also remember that my comments apply to the whole tex2lyx->lyx2lyx->lyx1.3 trip, I cannot say where exactly things are happening.
Some other things:
- complains when \includegraphics* (starred variant) is used, while it could just be treated as the unstarred version (or am I missing something?)
- I use pdflatex but don't specify the .pdf-extension so that I can switch to normal latex (using .eps) seamlessly; tex2lyx applies a definite choice, thereby destroying this nice portability. Why?
- I have a \bibliographystyle definition (with natbib), this seems to be imported twice: it is specified when I open the bibreferences-inset, but it's also displayed as ERT
- imports the \thanks-field inside the \title as ERT
- has problems with my complicated \author-field (can't blame it too much, this includes minipages and graphics)
- tables are fine!
so much for that, thanks again for making it available -sven
