Hello everyone,
I am using Lyx 2.0beta2 on a windows7 machine. I am using a moderately
large sized document, 20 pages, using the newly offered "Thesis" template,
which is "Book (Koma-script)". Lately, I have experienced problems with
Lyx. After adjusting the document setting, and closing the document,
various settings are lost the next time I start Lyx and open the document.
For example page margins are gone, hyperef is switched off, font sizes are
suddenly scaled to 10%, etc etc.
The strange think is that some setting get saved, for example a change of
the roman font gets accepted, however not the sans serif font.
I can't recalled any specific event, after the problem first occurred. I
created a new user, uninstalled Lyx, checked user rights to temporary
folders and setting, deleted and reconfigured Lyx and now I'm out of ideas
what to do.
Any suggestions?
Attached a tiny document,
Yes!
You can cut your root-cause scope in half by doing the following:
Save the doc with new doc settings. Now copy the LyX file to somewhere else.
Now exit LyX. Now copy the LyX file to yet somewhere else. Now open the doc in
LyX again and verify that it forgot settings.
Now compare the open LyX settings to the settings in the two copied files.
Doing this you can deduce whether the forgetting happens:
1) In the saving
2) When exiting LyX or closing the file
3) When opening the file in LyX again
Thanks for the suggestion, its number 3. If I open the file in Lyx
again, after it was shut down, the settings are overwritten (although
when opening the file in a text editor, there has been no change
made).
I can't think of a way to further narrow down the problem at the
moment. And unfortunately, I can't spend much time on the problem
(deadlines on Thursday). But I keep you guys posted, in case this is
even of interest to other people.
The file you attached had all the "features" you mentioned, e.g., fonts
scaled at 10%. So it would seem that there is something about what
happens when the file is written that is the problem.
Did you see my question about Save vs Apply?
