rc1 bug status?

Re: Wiki v.s. web site (Was: how to use custom character styles)
p.s. Why doesn't the website have the LyX documentation? If it does, I overlooked it -- where is it linked from? I don't understand the question... which website? Official www.lyx.org. The documentation I didn't see was: doc/Customization.html doc/DocStyle.html doc/Extended.html doc/FAQ.html doc/Intro.html doc/Reference.html doc/TOC.html doc/Tutorial.html doc/UserGuide.html (I didn't check again so maybe it is there.) I don't think it's there. Also note that the documentation is not available in HTML, it's .lyx-files. Automatically converting HTML might be good, but LyX is AFAIK not good enough to do a reliable job of this. Anyway, you can access the .lyx-files using the browser for the version control system. There is probably some wiki page that points to to it, but here's the link http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/trunk/lib/doc Does this answer your question? Or why does Google have Playground indexed if it is a practice sandbox? Google has no reason to _not_ index pages in the wiki group Playground. It might be possible to instruct google to ignore those pages, but I'm not sure that's desired. That is what I was thinking -- use robots.txt and metatags to stop indexing of a practice sandbox.

subfiles
I'm a little confused by how LyX understands subfiles. Does it support the concept of a parent document which includes a number of subdocuments? * The documentation refers to a means of including external material, although the available types of external material do not appear to include other LyX files. * The LyX editor allows me to insert a reference to another LyX file, but it then includes all that file's content in the current document and saves it as a single unified document. * The mailing list archives refer to subfile support but the messages relating to this are about four major revisions out of date and mention menu commands that I don't recognize. Can I use LyX to create a number of separate (sub-)documents and then also maintain other LyX documents which combine new material with one or more of these subdocuments, in such a way that the content needs only to be edited once?

Too big math preview in 1.5.0 orc1, solution
I found a solution to reduce (or increase) the size of math previews
on the lyx screen (at least for mac os X 10.4.9, mac ppc):
Go to the menu item Preferences-Look and feel- screen fonts,
decrease (or increase) the Screen DPI and save this changes the
size of math previews without changing the size of the text. To see
the result you have to quit lyx and start again, the button apply
does not seem to work for this item.
A tip to get the math preview size adequate to the text : write a
math formula including an \mbox{ some text }, then proceed by trial
and error.
What I do not understand is why this math preview becomes too large

view latex in 1.5.0 orc1
By changing the name of the .lyx directory I got back all options of the view menu, except view latex. This seem to be replaced by by view source, but this is not equivalent because the window where the source appears is not searchable and cannot be typeset. In version 1.4.4, it opened the tex source in my favorite tex editor (in my case TexShop), where I could search the file and try some solutions to my problems. Is there a way to do that in 1.5.0 orc1 for mac os X ? Of course, I can do that by hand, but I have first to find the temporary directory which 1) changes each time one reopens Lyx, 2) is in the /tmp directory which is invisible unless you resort to a terminal.

Re: view latex in 1.5.0 orc1

1.5.0rc1 Mac PPC G3 typing lag
Hello, I'm just testing the 1.5.0rc1 binary on my PPC G3 (iBook 700Mhz, 384MB RAM, 10.4.9). It is significantly slower than all 1.5betas released earlier. When I'm typing some characters there is always a lag of some seconds before it appears on the screen. This makes Lyx definetly unusable for me. Ok, my Mac is certainly not one of the newest ;-) but now even Word (which I really don't want to use) runs faster. Is there a fix?

Upgrade problems

Re: Physical units
Could this be adapted in the documentation, please? We aren't responsible for documentation of external packages. I know that very well. I took my example from p. 95, section: 6.6.5.2. http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/LyX/Manuals/1.4.2/UserGuide.pdf The protected space: It is used to tell LYX (and LATEX) not to break the line at that point. This may be necessary to avoid unlucky linebreaks, like in: A good documentation should weight no more than 1 kg. Obviously, it would be a good thing to put a protected space between “1” and “kg”. A protected space is set with Insert . Special Formatting . Protected Space or with C-Space. Maybe there issue disussed in this thread here could be added there? Regards, Tim
pdflatex postscript handling
Hello I had a problem using hyperref. When I included this package, long section names and long captions were no longer wrapping around in TOC and LOF and ran of the page. Also pdflatex would not work for me. With Uwe suggestion, I upgraded to MiKTeX 2.6 all of these problems got resolved, but a new appeared. When pdflatex converts *.eps files to pdf I get errors that these figures can't be converted and are not shown in the final pdf. When .ps files get converted, their boundingboxes are ignored so figures are not displayed properly. Any suggestions? I'm using Lyx1.4.4 on WinXP Thank you Leo

You can control the size of math previews by adding the following line:
\preview_scale_factor 0.9
to either the user preferences or the global lyxrc.dist file. There is
no gui for this, so you have to add that line by using a text editor.
Change the 0.9 value (which is the default) to whatever fits you.

Hi Jean,
\mbox didn't work at all for me, but your \mbox idea inspired me to find
something that while not pretty, is at least not confusing. It's \makebox.
The following aligns left, equal and right, and approximately (though not
exactly) right aligns the explanations:
\begin{eqnarray*}
2x+y=z\qquad\qquad \makebox[2in][r]{this is the explanation}\\
31x+64y=71z\qquad\qquad \makebox[2in][r]{another explanation and yet }\\
3x+y=z\qquad\qquad \makebox[2in][r]{explanation}\\
x=z\qquad\qquad \makebox[2in][r]{exp}\\
\end{eqnarray*}
The following approximately centers the explanations, with the
explanation column well to the right of the equations:
\begin{eqnarray*}
2x+y=z\qquad\qquad \makebox[2in][c]{this is the explanation}\\
31x+64y=71z\qquad\qquad \makebox[2in][c]{another explanation and yet }\\
3x+y=z\qquad\qquad \makebox[2in][c]{explanation}\\
x=z\qquad\qquad \makebox[2in][c]{exp}\\
\end{eqnarray*}
Either of the preceding is doable with a character style for the explanation,
which points to a command that puts in \qquad\qquad\makebox[2in][c]{#1}, as
suggested by Richard Heck.
This isn't ideal, but I know I can do it, and if worst comes to worst it's
good enough.

What I was trying to say is that I don't know whether changing
Screen DPI simply changes the math preview size and has no other
side effect, whereas \preview_scale_factor for sure works like that.
The right fix would be to know why the screen DPI is changed with
respect to 1.4. However, if you know what is the correct value for
screen DPI, then you could force the right appearance by using the
following lines in lyxrc.dist (replacing the numbers as appropriate):
\screen_dpi 90
\screen_zoom 150
\preview_scale_factor 0.9
In this way you can control both text and math preview sizes.

To delete a page, edit the page and replace the content with just: delete and then save the page. As for drafts, there is the possibility of creating drafts of a wiki page directly at the page. Those might automatically be ignored by google. It's something I'm going to check out during the summer. Another option is a special keyword, which tells google to ignore the page.

Re: Wiki v.s. web site (Was: how to use custom character styles)
p.s. Why doesn't the website have the LyX documentation? If it does, I overlooked it -- where is it linked from? I don't understand the question... which website? Official www.lyx.org. The documentation I didn't see was: doc/Customization.html doc/DocStyle.html doc/Extended.html doc/FAQ.html doc/Intro.html doc/Reference.html doc/TOC.html doc/Tutorial.html doc/UserGuide.html (I didn't check again so maybe it is there.) I don't think it's there. Also note that the documentation is not available in HTML, it's .lyx-files. Automatically converting HTML might be good, but LyX is AFAIK not good enough to do a reliable job of this. Anyway, you can access the .lyx-files using the browser for the version control system. There is probably some wiki page that points to to it, but here's the link http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/trunk/lib/doc Does this answer your question? Or why does Google have Playground indexed if it is a practice sandbox? Google has no reason to _not_ index pages in the wiki group Playground. It might be possible to instruct google to ignore those pages, but I'm not sure that's desired. That is what I was thinking -- use robots.txt and metatags to stop indexing of a practice sandbox. If you think most people want this behaviour, then feel free to follow the instructions here http://wiki.lyx.org/Site/ControllingWebRobots to make google ignore pages in Playground/ :-) /C PS. If you change this behaviour, please a note about it somewhere.

subfiles
I'm a little confused by how LyX understands subfiles. Does it support the concept of a parent document which includes a number of subdocuments? * The documentation refers to a means of including external material, although the available types of external material do not appear to include other LyX files. * The LyX editor allows me to insert a reference to another LyX file, but it then includes all that file's content in the current document and saves it as a single unified document. * The mailing list archives refer to subfile support but the messages relating to this are about four major revisions out of date and mention menu commands that I don't recognize. Can I use LyX to create a number of separate (sub-)documents and then also maintain other LyX documents which combine new material with one or more of these subdocuments, in such a way that the content needs only to be edited once?

Too big math preview in 1.5.0 orc1, solution
I found a solution to reduce (or increase) the size of math previews
on the lyx screen (at least for mac os X 10.4.9, mac ppc):
Go to the menu item Preferences-Look and feel- screen fonts,
decrease (or increase) the Screen DPI and save this changes the
size of math previews without changing the size of the text. To see
the result you have to quit lyx and start again, the button apply
does not seem to work for this item.
A tip to get the math preview size adequate to the text : write a
math formula including an \mbox{ some text }, then proceed by trial
and error.
What I do not understand is why this math preview becomes too large
when going from version 1.4.4 to 1.5.0 orc1

view latex in 1.5.0 orc1
By changing the name of the .lyx directory I got back all options of the view menu, except view latex. This seem to be replaced by by view source, but this is not equivalent because the window where the source appears is not searchable and cannot be typeset. In version 1.4.4, it opened the tex source in my favorite tex editor (in my case TexShop), where I could search the file and try some solutions to my problems. Is there a way to do that in 1.5.0 orc1 for mac os X ? Of course, I can do that by hand, but I have first to find the temporary directory which 1) changes each time one reopens Lyx, 2) is in the /tmp directory which is invisible unless you resort to a terminal.

1.5.0rc1 Mac PPC G3 typing lag
Hello, I'm just testing the 1.5.0rc1 binary on my PPC G3 (iBook 700Mhz, 384MB RAM, 10.4.9). It is significantly slower than all 1.5betas released earlier. When I'm typing some characters there is always a lag of some seconds before it appears on the screen. This makes Lyx definetly unusable for me. Ok, my Mac is certainly not one of the newest ;-) but now even Word (which I really don't want to use) runs faster. Is there a fix?

Re: Physical units
Could this be adapted in the documentation, please? We aren't responsible for documentation of external packages. I know that very well. I took my example from p. 95, section: 6.6.5.2. http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/LyX/Manuals/1.4.2/UserGuide.pdf The protected space: It is used to tell LYX (and LATEX) not to break the line at that point. This may be necessary to avoid unlucky linebreaks, like in: A good documentation should weight no more than 1 kg. Obviously, it would be a good thing to put a protected space between “1” and “kg”. A protected space is set with Insert . Special Formatting . Protected Space or with C-Space. Maybe there issue disussed in this thread here could be added there? Regards, Tim

If not, please let me know and I'll upload a binary and send you the link (limited band-width at the moment, so probably not until Thursday). /Anders
Re: 1.5.0rc1 crash when breaking last line of paragraph
Original-Nachricht Datum: Mon, 04 Jun 2007 10:39:03 -0400 Von: Richard Heck [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org, Stefan Schimanski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Re: 1.5.0rc1 crash when breaking last line of paragraph [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: LyX 1.5.0rc1 crashes when I try to break part of the last line (sometimes even last 2 lines) of a paragraph into a new paragraph hitting Enter. This only happens if another paragraph is following. Can anyone confirm? I built LyX on Ubuntu 7.04. I attached a file that makes reproduction easy. I've applied the patch pending for 3790, and this does resolve the bug for me. (Also resolves 3801.) Richard Sorry, there were two patches available and I applied the one on Text.cpp which did not help. Now I found the one on Bidi.cpp that solves the Problem. Could have be a bit clearer in bugzilla. I will attach link to the patch to my bugreport, too. Thanks very much, that was the basis for further testing of 1.5.0 for me. phil

I don't use Windows so can't give you the details, but I think this is a well-known problem. Try searching the list archives. Maybe upgrade class would do it. There's an error message people usually see, too. Try running LyX from a command box.

Classes like article,book,letter just don't appear in the drop down list of the document class dialog. How can I fix this? Sounds as though the configuration script burped -- although usually, when it does, LyX can't even start. Since this is an upgrade, I assume you have MikTeX (or some other distro) installed and functioning. In LyX, check Tools - Preferences... - Paths - Path prefix to make sure that the MikTeX (or whatever) bin directory is on the path prefix. If not, add it and save, then restart LyX, run Tools - Reconfigure, and restart LyX again. Assuming that LyX can find your LaTeX distro, try the following: 1. From the Assume Nothing Department: Take a look at path to LyX\Resources\layouts and make sure that you have article.layout, book.layout etc. They install with LyX, but maybe that was the burp. Assuming you have them ... 2. Open a DOS shell and cd to the parent of your LyX home directory (the place where LyX will store your personal settings). Usually, your home is C:\Documents and Settings\your id\Application Data\LyX1.4.x, so you want to be in C:\...\Application Data. If you are networked and your home is on a remote server, or it's on a drive other than C, go there instead. 3. From that shell, run 'path to LyX\python\python.exe path to LyX\Resources\configure.py'. Output will scroll by; look for the lines where LyX is looking for latex.exe, then the various documents, and verify that it says yes for them. If error messages appear, post them here. /Paul

I've also ran python like you told me. It did find latex.exe but the missing document classes were not even listed. These are the only document calsses that were output: +checking for document class IEEEtran [IEEEtran]... yes +checking for document class aapaper [aa]... no +checking for document class aastex [aastex]... yes +checking for document class aa [aa]... no +checking for docbook class agu-dtd... no +checking for document class agums [aguplus,agums.sty]... no +checking for document class amsart-plain [amsart]... yes +checking for document class amsart-seq [amsart]... yes +checking for document class amsart [amsart]... yes +checking for document class amsbook [amsbook]... yes +checking for document class apa [apa,apacite.sty]... yes +checking for document class arab-article [arabart]... these are the ones that also apear in the documents-settings menu, but where are the rest? Maybe I should have uninstalled the old version of lyx first and then installed the new one, Although I'm glad I didn't otherwise I couldn't be working at all right now. Gary
