Hi all,
I've been very happily using LyX 1.3.7 on a Mac G4 iBook (933 MHz PPC,
640 MB, OS X 10.3.9) for some time now - thanks to all the developers!
I recently upgraded to v1.5.2 (PPC version). I never got around to
using v1.4.x
I've struck two problems.
1. When quitting LyX and copying/pasting I get a screen message along
the lines of:
Could not remove the temporary directory
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir7301LYxr4/lyx_tmpbuf2
Console.app says:
----------------------------------------
Could not remove the temporary directory
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir7301LYxr4/lyx_tmpbuf1
Could not delete /private/tmp/lyx_tmpdir7301LYxr4/lyx_tmpbuf2.
(boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iterator increment)
Warning: Could not remove temporary directory
----------------------------------------
This issue was reported recently here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg59368.html
with no solution that I can see. I've experienced the same problem. The
pop ups when copying and pasting are particularly annoying.
2. The second issue relates to typing lag. I realise this issue has
been reported previously for OS X. Typing is unbearably slow in notes,
floats etc. I have instant preview turned off. Typing in standard text
is variable, but in general too slow for me to use 1.5.2. I've been
working with some large files, originally created in v1.3.7, but saved
as new versions using 1.5.2. Adding text to an existing paragraph of
standard text in these documents results in typing lag. The lag is
greatest when text is added at or near the beginning of a paragraph.
The typing lag does not occur when typing in a newly created paragraph
- it emerges as the paragraph length increases. I can reproduce both
aspects of this behaviour in new files created using 1.5.2.
Any help is appreciated as I'd like to give 1.5.2 a go!
thanks
