I am trying to figure out why after my upgrade from 1.4.x to 1.5.2 I lost my Export menu option and View choice for PDF (pdflatex).
It appears to be fine under my preferences. I do have dvipdfm and ps2pdf but I don't want to use DVI or postscript first. I see my user interface (stdmenus.inc) has ExportFormats. Where is the documented? Where is that defined? I don't see in docs for 1.5.2. I have this converter definition: LaTeX (pdflatex) -> PDF (pdflatex) Converter: pdflatext $$i Extra flag: latex I have thjis File format: PDF (pdflatex) Format: pdf2 (I don't know that) Shortcut: F Viewer: xpdf GUI name: PDF (pdflatex) Extension: pdf Editor: **nothing there** Document format is not checked. Vector graphics format is checked. My log has: /home/reed/.lyx/configure.log:checking for the pdflatex program... /home/reed/.lyx/configure.log:+checking for "pdflatex"... yes My /home/reed/.lyx/lyxrc.defaults has: \Format pdflatex tex "LaTeX (pdflatex)" "" "" "gvim" "document" ... \Format pdf2 pdf "PDF (pdflatex)" F "xpdf" "" "document,vector" ... \converter pdflatex pdf2 "pdflatex $$i" "latex" And ~/.lyx/preferences has: \format "pdf2" "pdf" "PDF (pdflatex)" "F" "xpdf" "" "vector" Jeremy C.
