LFUNs in 1.5 RC1 (Windows)
Hi all, I just tested the Windows 1.5 RC1 version which is a great improvement IMHO -- thanks to all the developers. I have one problem so far, regarding LyX Functions. I use functions like the following in my bind file: \bind C-M-o command-sequence self-insert ø This worked in LyX 1.4.3 without problems. However, this does not work any longer, because of the non-standard letter ø. If I have, say, command-sequence self-insert test, everything works fine. Is this a known bug or a new feature? Regards, Dominik.-

How to execute some command after an Update in LyX
Hi, I am using LyX 1.4.x on Linux, with xpdf as PDF viewer. Currently I open the viewer first by selecting View-PDF in LyX, after that I just refresh the existing PDF by selecting View-Update-PDF. What I would like to achieve is that the xpdf does an automatic refresh whenever I update the PDF in the background. However, I am on a file system where notifications do not work. So my plan is to use the xpdf -server option: I did set the following command line for Viewer under Preferences-File Formats-PDF: xpdf -remote lyxOutput works great. However, how can I automatically execute an: xpdf -remote lyxOutput -reload after the View-Update-PDF (LFUN:buffer-update pdf2)? There obviously is no command to specify that shall be executed after the execution of LFUN:buffer-update. Any idea? Thanks! Daniel

Hi in my master document I have introduced 'Appendix' before a Section. all the rest of the document is framed by a red box showing the title 'appendix'. Nice idea, i like it. Opening the outline pane the beginning of the appendix is not shown. Feature? I would like to see above the first section of the appendix e.g. a thin line. But that's of minor importance.

Re: problems to show figures in LyX
Fernando, Fernando Roig wrote: LyX displays the ppm file but not properly. I mean, it appears an image on the screen, but this image has less to do with the original ps figure. Therefore, ImageMagick is converting the ps file into a ppm file containing some strange information that LyX is able to display but GIMP is not able to open (plugin cannot open image) This may have to do with a character encoding issue; see below. If I run convert figure1.ps figure1.jpg and then convert figure1.jpg figure1.ppm then both jpg and ppm files are correctly converted (I am able to open them in GIMP) and LyX displays the ppm file without problems. However, if I try to load the jpg file in LyX then I get the Error converting to loadable format. So I believe that the problem is not with Ghostscript. I'm not sure if this is consistent with an encoding problem, but possibly. Here is the debug log (it is quite a lot of stuff): [...] [graphics::CacheItem::Impl::convertToDisplayFormat] Attempting to convert image file: C:/TEST/figure1.ps with displayed filename: C:\TEST\figure1.ps Recognised Fileformat: eps The file contains eps format data. I think this is ok, particularly if your figure1.ps is actually an EPS file. The image loader can load the following directly: bmp, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm, Of these, LyX recognises the following formats: bmp, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm Unable to convert from eps to bmp Unable to convert from eps to pbm Unable to convert from eps to pgm Converting it to png format. The next error (which occurs twice) suggests the encoding problem. Error returned from iconv EILSEQ An invalid multibyte sequence has been encountered in the input. When converting from UTF-8 to UCS-4LE. If I understand this correctly (character encodings are not my forte), the script is trying to convert the EPS file from UTF-8 to UCS-4LE (a new one to me) and is choking on something. [...] Conversion script: -- #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os, shutil, sys, locale def unlinkNoThrow(file): ''' remove a file, do not throw if an error occurs ''' try: os.unlink(file) except: pass def utf8ToDefaultEncoding(file): ''' if possible, convert to the default encoding ''' try: language, output_encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale() if output_encoding == None: output_encoding = 'latin1' return unicode(file, 'utf8').encode(output_encoding) except: return file I didn't see where the utf8ToDefaultEncoding function was called in the conversion script, but maybe I'm just being stupid today. Do you know what character encoding was used to create figure1.ps? Also, what locale is set for you machine? I'm not sure what Python's getdefaultlocale() function looks at; it might be the LANG environment variable, but that's just a guess. We may need a developer to help out with this (someone familiar with the operation of the graphics conversion script). /Paul

Re: problems to show figures in LyX
Paul: We may need a developer to help out with this (someone familiar with the operation of the graphics conversion script). I sent the message to the developers list and Enrico Forestieri answered that the problem occurs because LyX's temp directory contains non ASCII characters (the problem of using a portuguese version of XP...). Enrico provided a patch to fix the bug, but this seems to useful only for developers. I simply created a directory C:\Documents and Settings\Fernando\Local configurations\Temp\ and set this to the Temporary directory in Tools Preferences Paths. Now is working fine. Thanks for the help. Fernando
Re: Showing graphics in LyX - Error converting to loadable format
Hi Mark: I had a similar problem and in my case it was caused because the LyX's temporary directory set in Preferences Paths contained non ascii characters (e.g. accented vogals). I created and empty directory without accented characters and set it to be the temp dir. Fernando

Re: problems to show figures in LyX
Fernando, Fernando Roig wrote: LyX displays the ppm file but not properly. I mean, it appears an image on the screen, but this image has less to do with the original ps figure. Therefore, ImageMagick is converting the ps file into a ppm file containing some strange information that LyX is able to display but GIMP is not able to open (plugin cannot open image) This may have to do with a character encoding issue; see below. If I run convert figure1.ps figure1.jpg and then convert figure1.jpg figure1.ppm then both jpg and ppm files are correctly converted (I am able to open them in GIMP) and LyX displays the ppm file without problems. However, if I try to load the jpg file in LyX then I get the Error converting to loadable format. So I believe that the problem is not with Ghostscript. I'm not sure if this is consistent with an encoding problem, but possibly. Here is the debug log (it is quite a lot of stuff): [...] [graphics::CacheItem::Impl::convertToDisplayFormat] Attempting to convert image file: C:/TEST/figure1.ps with displayed filename: C:\TEST\figure1.ps Recognised Fileformat: eps The file contains eps format data. I think this is ok, particularly if your figure1.ps is actually an EPS file. The image loader can load the following directly: bmp, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm, Of these, LyX recognises the following formats: bmp, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm Unable to convert from eps to bmp Unable to convert from eps to pbm Unable to convert from eps to pgm Converting it to png format. The next error (which occurs twice) suggests the encoding problem. Error returned from iconv EILSEQ An invalid multibyte sequence has been encountered in the input. When converting from UTF-8 to UCS-4LE. If I understand this correctly (character encodings are not my forte), the script is trying to convert the EPS file from UTF-8 to UCS-4LE (a new one to me) and is choking on something. [...] Conversion script: -- #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os, shutil, sys, locale def unlinkNoThrow(file): ''' remove a file, do not throw if an error occurs ''' try: os.unlink(file) except: pass def utf8ToDefaultEncoding(file): ''' if possible, convert to the default encoding ''' try: language, output_encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale() if output_encoding == None: output_encoding = 'latin1' return unicode(file, 'utf8').encode(output_encoding) except: return file I didn't see where the utf8ToDefaultEncoding function was called in the conversion script, but maybe I'm just being stupid today. Do you know what character encoding was used to create figure1.ps? Also, what locale is set for you machine? I'm not sure what Python's getdefaultlocale() function looks at; it might be the LANG environment variable, but that's just a guess. We may need a developer to help out with this (someone familiar with the operation of the graphics conversion script). /Paul

Re: problems to show figures in LyX
Paul: We may need a developer to help out with this (someone familiar with the operation of the graphics conversion script). I sent the message to the developers list and Enrico Forestieri answered that the problem occurs because LyX's temp directory contains non ASCII characters (the problem of using a portuguese version of XP...). Enrico provided a patch to fix the bug, but this seems to useful only for developers. I simply created a directory C:\Documents and Settings\Fernando\Local configurations\Temp\ and set this to the Temporary directory in Tools Preferences Paths. Now is working fine. Thanks for the help. Fernando
Re: Showing graphics in LyX - Error converting to loadable format
Hi Mark: I had a similar problem and in my case it was caused because the LyX's temporary directory set in Preferences Paths contained non ascii characters (e.g. accented vogals). I created and empty directory without accented characters and set it to be the temp dir. Fernando
LFUNs in 1.5 RC1 (Windows)
Hi all, I just tested the Windows 1.5 RC1 version which is a great improvement IMHO -- thanks to all the developers. I have one problem so far, regarding LyX Functions. I use functions like the following in my bind file: \bind "C-M-o" "command-sequence self-insert ø" This worked in LyX 1.4.3 without problems. However, this does not work any longer, because of the non-standard letter "ø". If I have, say, "command-sequence self-insert test", everything works fine. Is this a known bug or a new "feature"? Regards, Dominik.-

Hi, some more remarks from my use of the svn: I'm working often with master documents which contain child documents. (BTW I consider the lyx approach to require indentical preambles and nothing else a very clever idea. With a little bash script it is easy to guarantee this. I had to try some time ago to use master documents in word ,-(( ) * I open the parent document, generate the pdf. The pdf is generated and kpdf pops up. OK The included document are opened with separate tags. Fine Include files which do not exist are ignored. IIRC in former versions this led to an error message. Feature? I prefer this behaviour. * When I'm in a child document which contains some '\section', '\subsection' command I can get back to the main document via the menu: >>navigate >master document. When the cild document does NOT contain any structure, the item 'master document' is not shown in the 'navigate' menu. Feature? I would like to see it nevertheless. * The 'move paragraph up' and '... down' functionality when working in the text pane is also great. (Clearly I prefer the use of the key combinations alt+up and alt+down ;-) * It seems that manipulations in the outline pane can be done only using the mouse. I'm very intereseted to see here key combinations for the five buttons in the basis line.

How to execute some command after an Update in LyX
Hi, I am using LyX 1.4.x on Linux, with xpdf as PDF viewer. Currently I open the viewer first by selecting "View->PDF" in LyX, after that I just refresh the existing PDF by selecting "View->Update->PDF". What I would like to achieve is that the xpdf does an automatic refresh whenever I update the PDF in the background. However, I am on a file system where notifications do not work. So my plan is to use the xpdf -server option: I did set the following command line for "Viewer" under Preferences->File Formats->PDF: xpdf -remote lyxOutput works great. However, how can I automatically execute an: xpdf -remote lyxOutput -reload after the "View->Update->PDF" (LFUN:buffer-update pdf2)? There obviously is no command to specify that shall be executed after the execution of LFUN:buffer-update. Any idea? Thanks! Daniel

Hi Abdel, * When I'm in a child document which contains some '\section', '\subsection' command I can get back to the main document via the menu: >>navigate >master document. When the cild document does NOT contain any structure, the item 'master document' is not shown in the 'navigate' menu. Feature? I would like to see it nevertheless. It works here on my local tree. So if it not fixed on your svn version, it will be as I commit my changes. I can wait for that ;-) ... I'm very intereseted to see here key combinations for the five buttons in the basis line. Us (the developers) too. We had a lenghty discussion about which shortcut to use but we never reach an agreement. But we should. Note that you can customize any shortcut you like in your bind file. I know how to bind something to a key combination. Where do i find a list of the LFUNS to be used. I'd like to experiment a bit with possible shortcuts. In another message I stated already that I also would like to have a possibility to switch the focus from the text pane to the outline pane. Put an enhancement request on bugzilla please. Done, Bug #3895 I can open the outline pane using the menu >>Document >Outline But in this case the focus remains where it was in the text pane. And then to do something there I need the mouse anyway :-) This is a bug -->> Bugzilla please.

There is a load button in the child document dialog. However, this dialog cannot be opened by keyboard. Which reloads the file if it is already open. Right?

Re: problems to show figures in LyX
Fernando,
Fernando Roig wrote:
LyX displays the ppm file but not properly. I mean, it appears an image
on the screen, but this image has less to do with the original ps
figure. Therefore, ImageMagick is converting the ps file into a ppm file
containing some strange information that LyX is able to display but GIMP
is not able to open ("plugin cannot open image")
This may have to do with a character encoding issue; see below.
If I run
convert figure1.ps figure1.jpg
and then
convert figure1.jpg figure1.ppm
then both jpg and ppm files are correctly converted (I am able to open
them in GIMP) and LyX displays the ppm file without problems. However,
if I try to load the jpg file in LyX then I get the "Error converting to
loadable format". So I believe that the problem is not with Ghostscript.
I'm not sure if this is consistent with an encoding problem, but possibly.
Here is the debug log (it is quite a lot of stuff):
[...]
[graphics::CacheItem::Impl::convertToDisplayFormat]
Attempting to convert image file: C:/TEST/figure1.ps
with displayed filename: C:\TEST\figure1.ps
Recognised Fileformat: eps
The file contains eps format data.
I think this is ok, particularly if your figure1.ps is actually an EPS file.
The image loader can load the following directly:
bmp, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm,
Of these, LyX recognises the following formats:
bmp, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm
Unable to convert from eps to bmp
Unable to convert from eps to pbm
Unable to convert from eps to pgm
Converting it to png format.
The next error (which occurs twice) suggests the encoding problem.
Error returned from iconv
EILSEQ An invalid multibyte sequence has been encountered in the input.
When converting from UTF-8 to UCS-4LE.
If I understand this correctly (character encodings are not my forte),
the script is trying to convert the EPS file from UTF-8 to UCS-4LE (a
new one to me) and is choking on something.
[...]
Conversion script:
--
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os, shutil, sys, locale
def unlinkNoThrow(file):
''' remove a file, do not throw if an error occurs '''
try:
os.unlink(file)
except:
pass
def utf8ToDefaultEncoding(file):
''' if possible, convert to the default encoding '''
try:
language, output_encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale()
if output_encoding == None:
output_encoding = 'latin1'
return unicode(file, 'utf8').encode(output_encoding)
except:
return file
I didn't see where the utf8ToDefaultEncoding function was called in the
conversion script, but maybe I'm just being stupid today. Do you know
what character encoding was used to create figure1.ps? Also, what
locale is set for you machine? I'm not sure what Python's
getdefaultlocale() function looks at; it might be the LANG environment
variable, but that's just a guess.
We may need a developer to help out with this (someone familiar with the
operation of the graphics conversion script).

'Alt-i r' is the shortcut for the "Insert->Cross Reference" menu action. If you do that, all child documents will automatically open. Abdel.

Re: problems to show figures in LyX
Paul: We may need a developer to help out with this (someone familiar with the operation of the graphics conversion script). I sent the message to the developers list and Enrico Forestieri answered that the problem occurs because LyX's temp directory contains non ASCII characters (the problem of using a portuguese version of XP...). Enrico provided a patch to fix the bug, but this seems to useful only for developers. I simply created a directory C:\Documents and Settings\Fernando\Local configurations\Temp\ and set this to the Temporary directory in Tools > Preferences > Paths. Now is working fine. Thanks for the help. Fernando
Re: Showing graphics in LyX - Error converting to loadable format
Hi Mark: I had a similar problem and in my case it was caused because the LyX's temporary directory set in Preferences > Paths contained non ascii characters (e.g. accented vogals). I created and empty directory without accented characters and set it to be the temp dir. Fernando
