Re: Skim, pdfsync and child documents in LyX. Possible?
A slight problem I notice with it though is that if you click on an arrow to expand a label menu, then click on one of the references to it, the menu then resets closing the expanded label menu. This is a bother if you want to look at all of the references to a label in turn... Sorry, this seems to be (mostly) fixed in the latest release candidate (rc5). Seems a bit temperamental though. C
Re: Skim, pdfsync and child documents in LyX. Possible?
Thanks. You were warned that RCx is not for real work, right? ;-) Yes, but I impatient. I backup regularly. :) If something goes seriously wrong, the nice think about LyX is that I can still read the .lyx files in a text editor! If I compile the whole document then Command-Shift clicking in Skim it will only relolcate the courser in the parent document in LyX - that is if I am reading a middle chapter it does not work. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this? No idea, but a general question: Compared to the additional hassle the each-chapter-in-a-file approach creates, do you really gain that much? I used to prefer putting everything in one file but then I started including large png images that greatly increased the compiling times. Because I like to frequently preview my work by compiling to pdf I was frustrated how long it was taking so broke everything to separate chapters. In addition to speeding up previewing, LyX also slowly eats up my RAM. Keeping. I prefer not collapsing my images (I would if they collapsed to small image icons), so keeping the chapters separately means I don't open all images at once. I believe it is generally known that the current Find/Replace is pretty basic and that much could be improved (contributors welcome!). There is some pretty hot stuff on its way though ... Great. I look forward to it. Maybe my programming skills will be good enough one day to be of some help. I'm really only experienced with basic C at the moment. Cheers, Chris.

Help with a Lyx Problem - esint.sty not found
Hello Lyx Users, My name is Greg and I am a Lyx user. I recently installed Kubuntu v8.10 Intrepid Ibex and installed Lyx using sudo apt-get install lyx. Lyx installed and runs, but if I try to view my lyx work as pdf, dvi, or ps (using the toolbar buttons), I get an error saying LaTeX Error: File esint.sty not found in a popup window. What is the problem, and what can I do to correct this? Thanks! Greg

You have two choices: install esint.sty (precise method depends on which LaTeX distro you're using); or in LyX go to Document - Settings... - Math Options and uncheck Use esint package automatically. The latter will only work if you are not using any of the goofy integral signs that esint provides (double integrals, path integrals, etc.). /Paul

Finding arbitrary text with given style
Just to mention that I uploaded a video showing how to search for arbitrary text matching a given style (i.e., emphasized, boldface, section headings, ...): http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=0MR_O1ctIAY This video has been captured by using the current lyx-advsearch branch, exploiting the regular expression capability of the feature. Also, what is shown in the other two videos (captured using an outdated LyX release): http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=JxjMVvn7d3M http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqwwhu4VkGw now works with the current lyx-advsearch branch.
