AFAIK, this is becouse LaTeX doesnot center by default and someone did not
like the nonstandard behaviour of LyX (or the actual patchy implementation).
There is an (untested!) workaround:
Find out the command used for insertion of graphics (\includegraphix ?) and
try to redefine it to contain the centering. Something like
let\oldincludegraphix=\includegraphicsx
\def\includegraphix{\centering \oldincludegraphix}
Obviously, this only works if you want to center all figures.
I am not sure if it works at all
I don't know, what happens with 2 figures on one line.
File a feature request or bug report on bugzilla.lyx.org if you don't like
it.
I'd strongly support the feature request. Having to type Alt-l a Alt-z for
every inserted picture is not really ergonomic and prevents me from the
famous concentrate on content, not layout.
LyX could possibly define a new command
\newcommand{\centeredincludegraphix}{\centering \includegraphix} and use
this if a global document setting center all figures is checked.
A similar thing holds for the tables.

backward searching, figure scaling and caption
I tried to use the new Lyx 1.2.0 and ran into the following:
by trying to view the file as dvi, there were errors. Since
the error message was not localizable, I exported as tex file
and ran latex. I got a hint for which word to look in order
to localize the error and tried to find the place in the lyx
file using find and replace, search backward. The document
(its a long one) was in a long lasting action checked and I
killed the action. I got the following error:
searching backward not implemented in mathed
what does it mean?
I have also difficulties with scaling a figure. Clicking on the
figure I get the figure configuration where it says in red:
attention! invalid length
I used to use \caption [short caption]{long caption}
can this still be used or has this been changed?

Maybe it would be easier to have a small script that does this outside LyX... The script should process the *.lyx file and do: - For all acronyms defined in a acronyms.txt file: Find the first occurence and change to Full Name (FN). - Look for following "Full Name (FN)"-s and change these to FN. This would also save typing, as there is no need for an extra keypress: "this is an acronym" A feedback (change, look for next, abort) would increase security... Run this on your final version. Also, a script that extracts the used acronyms to a loa (list of acronyms) should be no problem. This would become very handy, if there where a generic LyX command that saves the LyX file, starts a command/script on it and restores the file from disk. As this is something quite general (and would also allow complicated search/replaces, regexp replace and other nice things programmed in your favourite editor) Something like M-x process-buffer(my_script) where my_script is a script that does something on the *.lyx file and saves it back or my favourite editor (where I do some miracles and than save and close).

Unfortunately!! :-(
AFAIK, this is becouse LaTeX doesnot center by default and someone did not
like the nonstandard behaviour of LyX (or the actual patchy implementation).
There is an (untested!) workaround:
Find out the command used for insertion of graphics (\includegraphix ?) and
try to redefine it to contain the centering. Something like
let\oldincludegraphix=\includegraphicsx
\def\includegraphix{\centering \oldincludegraphix}
Obviously, this only works if you want to center all figures.
I am not sure if it works at all
I don't know, what happens with 2 figures on one line.

I'd strongly support the feature request. Having to type Alt-l a Alt-z for
every inserted picture is not really ergonomic and prevents me from the
famous "concentrate on content, not layout".
LyX could possibly define a new command
\newcommand{\centeredincludegraphix}{\centering \includegraphix} and use
this if a global document setting "center all figures" is checked.
A similar thing holds for the tables.

should be
\let\oldincludegraphix=\includegraphics
\def\includegraphics{\centering \oldincludegraphix}

AFAIK, LyX does not support Unicode. In order to past the text from anywhere via clipboard, you need to convert it to iso-latin encoding first. Maybe the "recode" command can help you (try man recode or the info pages). Maybe you could also open the unicoded file in a text editor that internally translates it to "normal" code and then drag and drop... Guenter -- G.Milde at physik.tu-dresden.de

Formatting a title page
Hi I am stuck with that horror of the organisational world - a corporate title page. Basically what I need to do is to have a page, with no page number, and slightly different margins to the rest of the document. How do I get this right?

backward searching, figure scaling and caption
I tried to use the new Lyx 1.2.0 and ran into the following:
by trying to view the file as dvi, there were errors. Since
the error message was not localizable, I exported as tex file
and ran latex. I got a hint for which word to look in order
to localize the error and tried to find the place in the lyx
file using find and replace, search backward. The document
(its a long one) was in a long lasting action checked and I
killed the action. I got the following error:
searching backward not implemented in mathed
what does it mean?
I have also difficulties with scaling a figure. Clicking on the
figure I get the figure configuration where it says in red:
attention! invalid length
I used to use \caption [short caption]{long caption}
can this still be used or has this been changed?
Thanks for help
Wolfgang

It basically means that searching backwards is not implemented in mathed. The formula will be searched in the wrong direction but that should not really matter much. Juergen has a patch to oimprove searching, but it is not yet sure whether this will go into 1.2.1. You could try it nevertheless.

Thanks for the reply. The recode thing is a good suggestion. Now, given that greek is iso-8859-7(greek), but my language and keyboard setting is iso8859-1(latin1), how do I need to configure lyx to accept the greek text? I guess I somehow need to switch the encoding(s) in lyx? Sorry but I am not well-educated in that area yet. Do I need to mark the text as greek (Character->Language) as well? (Still using lyx 1.1 btw, 1.2 did not work for me - but does not matter.) Thanks for all help. Martin P.S. Sport frei! Sachsen rules!
