timestamp of lyx files not updated in windows xp
hello - i notice a strange problem when using lyx 1.4.1 under windows xp (various machines): when working on a file and saving it, the Date Modified and Time attributes are not updated. this is particularly annoying since my backup strategy is based on the files' modification dates and times. any ideas? thanks, marco weber (switzerland) ps other files are updated normally, e.g. the .txt files used with notepad.

LyX 1.4.1 backport for Debian/sarge avaible on backports.org
Hi, Pelles LyX 1.4.1 package entered Debian/testing (aka etch) a few days ago and no grave bugs have been reported so far. To complete the package set Daniel Baumann uploaded a backport of the 1.4.1-1 packages to www.backports.org for me.

Off-topic: Gnuplot-generated figures in Word
That might be off-topic but I figure that some people on this list have encountered this problem. I have some figures generated by Gnuplot that I export to eps for insertion in a document. That works fine in my Lyx documents. I am having some problems with the fonts when converting the eps file to png (using convert from ImageMagik) and inserted into Word. I set the title as such: set title blah blah font Times,16 What do you do to insert your gnuplot figures into Word? What font do you use? Do you convert to png? If you have some examples, that would help too. Thanks, -- myriam

Re: timestamp of lyx files not updated in windows xp
It appears that I am having the same issue, but I hadn't noticed before. It seems that the 'date modified' updates sometimes, but not every time that I make changes. It also appears that when I over-write an existing pdf, the date stays the same as the original as well. The 'accessed' dates are updated. Strange. I'm also using XP (Pro) and lyx 1.4.1. This could be a problem with back-ups. Cheers, John On 6/18/06, Paul A.

I am new to Lyx and have no LaTeX experience. I am writing a sequence of Python tutorials in a book document. I tried switching from default book to AMS book because it supports numbered exercises and examples, however in the AMS system, each exercise appears to generate a new section number. I do not want exercises to alter the section numbering. I would ideally like exercises to either be numbered sequentually throughout the whole tutorial, or probably better, start again from 1 in each chapter or maybe section. Something viewable easily in LyX would be good, though I am willing to handle my first ERT's. Help appreciated. Thanks, Andy Harrington
