Hello all,
I wrote my thesis in LyX (an older version) using a layout and the
university supplied style file. I am no longer able to use this layout,
or a simplified version, in LyX 1.6.4.
I've attached the style file and the simplified version of the layout
(The exact same behaviour is seen with my original layout).
I confirm that LyX finds the style:
+checking for document class sfuthesis [csthesis.sty]... yes
But when I select the corresponding layout in document settings, LyX
stalls, python uses up 90% CPU, and continues to do so indefinitely. I
left it overnight.
If I manually kill LyX I get this from python:
^C
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/lyx/scripts/layout2layout.py", line 530, in <module>
main(sys.argv)
File "/usr/share/lyx/scripts/layout2layout.py", line 518, in main
format = convert(lines)
File "/usr/share/lyx/scripts/layout2layout.py", line 182, in convert
if re_Comment.match(lines[i]) or re_Empty.match(lines[i]):
KeyboardInterrupt
Why does this layout require conversion? Has the layout format changed?
(This is not mentioned on the wiki page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/CreatingLayouts)
Considering this layout is so simple, I can't see why python would have
problems with it, not to mention no error or exit condition in this case.
Any hints?
What is the new format so I can bypass the layout2layout script?
Thanks,
B. Bogart
