Change names of TOC? Bibliography?
Does anyone know how to change the name of this section? In Lyx
report(koma-script) it prints out by default as Contents. Can I make it
read Table of Contents ?
Also, can I change the default name of the Bibliography as well?
I tried adding the following to the preamble, but it doesn't seem to have
an effect:
\renewcommand{\bibname}{List of References}
I am using the 'bibtotoc' option in the arguments to the document class.
What's the difference between this and using the following ERT TEX code?
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname}
With the hyperref package, the bibliography is hyperlinked to the TOC entry,
but if I use the bookmarks menu on the left in Acrobat, clicking on
Bibliography takes me to the title page of my document instead!

Steps towards a portable LyX installation on Windows
Hi All I made quite good progress producing a portable LyX installation based on LyX 1.6.0. What would be the best place to post the instructions? I think wiki.lyx.org may be suitable, but it looks a bit disorganised at the moment, and it seems that only developers have access anyway (?). I used texlive 2008 as my tex installation, which already provides some portability. I follow the same basic approach as tl-portable.bat, but add the necessary environment variables for LyX, convert and ghostscript. Apart from one problem between the bundled convert and the bundled ghoscript, this works really well. Regards, Thomas

Hi Richard,
What's the difference bettween InsetLayout, CharacterStyle and Environment?
When would you use InsetLayout over one of the others?
InsetLayout is new in 1.6. It incorporates the old charstyle (LyXType
charstyle) and also these new custom insets, which look like footnotes
but do anything you like. Of course, textsuperscript could (and probably
should) be a charstyle.
What is the Decoration LyX property (set to classic in your example)?
This makes the inset look like a footnote: with a little button. There
are other choices, too: minimalistic (no button) and, uh, can't remember.

That sounds interesting. I know that LyXLauncher does some magic, but
I was not able to figure out what it was. Is there any way to check
what LyXLauncher does to the environment?
Anyway, I have managed to put my experience down in the Wiki at
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/PortableInstallation . It is certainly not
easy or painless, but I think a few small changes could improve the
process significantly. Maybe the issues I had are bugs?
The first problem I had was related to the path. Ghostscript was not
really happy, and for some reason convert would not find ghostscript.
I had to do the following changes to get previews and eps-pdf
conversion working (the first three lines may or may not be necessary,
I did not test them individually):
path %LYX_DIR%python;%path%
path %LYX_DIR%bin;%path%
path %LYX_DIR%imagemagick;%path%
set GS_DIR=%LYX_DIR%ghostscript\
path %GS_DIR%bin;%path%
set GS_LIB=%GS_DIR%lib;%GS_DIR%fonts;%GS_DIR%Resource
The other issue was that convert would not recognise ghostscript. I
read that @PSdelegate@ in delegates.xml relies on registry keys, and
indeed replacing it with gswin32c.exe solved the issue. This was
necessary to get previews working for eps files.
Finally I keep getting an error message from reconfigure about
chklatex.ltx, which caused by the platex check. It seems like the
PLATEX variable is empty, and it calls the argument instead
if cmdOutput(PLATEX + ' chklatex.ltx').find('pLaTeX2e') != -1:
which is not recognised as an executable or an association.
And then there is a problem with TeX Live 2008. The new portable
function tl-portable.bat is very nice, but unfortunately it is so
inflexible that it can only start a console, and not another program.
Changing this may be easy, but it would require some advanced batch
language tricks, which is not my specialty.

Thomas

In fact that's actually the most sensible behaviour since there are only very few cases where a new version indeed can replace an older one without any existing or imagined problem. In particular that would mean not only source and binary but also behavioural compatibility including keeping buggy behaviour. When you factor in that application also can depend on runtime characteristics even optimizations might have to be ruled out, so there's really not much left what could be done in a newer version...

Query on printing with 'screens'
Hi all: I'm a Lyx user in Goa, and hope you won't mind me intruding. Every time I go in for a book, to be printed via offset, my printer has a problem. He takes the PDF file and attempts to do crazy things like importing it into Windows/Corel Draw, etc. He says the photos won't print because they don't have a screen. Query: * Is he right? * Is there some way of putting a screen on the photos? LyX takes TeX commands, so maybe if there's one I could use it. Earlier, he was struggling to find how to print the file laterally inverted (mirror image), and we found the command after some search.

I guess there could be a problem with Lyx 1.6.0 and the Lyx customisation files from Gregor Gorjanc, at least on OS X - I didn't have the problems with 1.6.0 on Windows. regards Mike Just to finally put an end to this, the problem was caused by how I'd grabbed the layout files from cran. I had right clicked on them in Safari and saved them to the desktop, then copied to the layouts folder. This wasn't correct, I think I had effectively saved links to the files on CRAN, not the files themselves. When I grabbed the layout files by ftp, everything was working OK, both in lyx 1.5.7 and 1.6.0. Thanks once again for the advice. Mike

Problem with pdf-view in Lyx 1.6.0
Hello,
I installed Lyx 1.6.0 now and - congratulations: it is really good.
But I have some problems with pdf-view, that I had not with Lyx 1.5.6.

You might try inserting a different font spec;

Re: avoiding indentation within footnotes and adding vertical space under headings
Thanks. I found a simple way to add extra space after
headings with the
insert vertical space (protected) command.
Regarding the footnotes I tried
\usepackage[para]{footmisc} and \usepackage[hang,
flushmargin]{footmisc}
both failed with lyx 1.6. but works fine with lyx 1.5.6.
The problem is that
lyx 1.5.6 don't want to open files created with lyx
1.6.
Excuse me. I must to say \usepackage[flushmargin]{footmisc} instead
\usepackage[para]{footmisc}
Currently I have this in my preamble in a work fine with lyx 1.6.0 and no have
any problem.
I installed lyx 1.5.7 and I can open files created with lyx 1.6.0.
I think that you have a specific problem in your computer.

I can see the entry when opening the .toc file manually.
Another funny thing, the same times when the Nomenclature doesn't appear in

should after being created. Instead, I have to look for it in the temp

It appears the bundled Python requires a particular release of Microsoft's C runtime. There are approximately a zillion releases of the MSVC runtime, all mutually incompatible. For years, Microsoft handled this by changing the name of the MSVC runtime DLLs with each release. More recently, when someone decided it'd be good to have more incompatible runtime versions than would fit in a single MSVC release cycle, they invented the Side by Side versioning method, which has the advantages of being a black box, completely different from previous Windows DLL versioning mechanisms, and entirely mysterious, opaque, and frustrating for users. Side-by-Side sticks various releases of the MSVC runtime in directories under %windir%\winsxs. Product installers are supposed to include the MSVC redistributable package for the particular MSVC version they need, which will get installed in Side-by-Side if it's not already present. Probably, people who don't have problems with the minimal Python included with Uwe's installer already have the necessary MSVC redistributable on their machine from some other product installation. The fix would be to include the appropriate MSVC redistributable in Uwe's LyX installer. Note that it may have to be updated any time the Python binaries are updated, since they might be linked with a different MSVC version. Sure makes SVR4 shared object versioning look good, doesn't it? -- Michael Wojcik Micro Focus Rhetoric Writing, Michigan State University
Steps towards a portable LyX installation on Windows
Hi All I made quite good progress producing a portable LyX installation based on LyX 1.6.0. What would be the best place to post the instructions? I think wiki.lyx.org may be suitable, but it looks a bit disorganised at the moment, and it seems that only developers have access anyway (?). I used texlive 2008 as my tex installation, which already provides some portability. I follow the same basic approach as tl-portable.bat, but add the necessary environment variables for LyX, convert and ghostscript. Apart from one problem between the bundled convert and the bundled ghoscript, this works really well. Regards, Thomas

Hi Richard,
What's the difference bettween InsetLayout, CharacterStyle and Environment?
When would you use InsetLayout over one of the others?
InsetLayout is new in 1.6. It incorporates the old charstyle (LyXType
charstyle) and also these new custom insets, which look like footnotes
but do anything you like. Of course, textsuperscript could (and probably
should) be a charstyle.
What is the Decoration LyX property (set to classic in your example)?
This makes the inset look like a footnote: with a little button. There
are other choices, too: minimalistic (no button) and, uh, can't remember.

The label can't be modified. You could try a charstyle. You could also

More recently, when someone decided it'd be good to have more incompatible runtime versions than would fit in a single MSVC release cycle, they invented the Side by Side versioning method, which has the advantages of being a black box, completely different from previous Windows DLL versioning mechanisms, and entirely mysterious, opaque, and frustrating for users. Side-by-Side sticks various releases of the MSVC runtime in directories under %windir%\winsxs. Product installers are supposed to include the MSVC redistributable package for the particular MSVC version they need, which will get installed in Side-by-Side if it's not already present. Probably, people who don't have problems with the minimal Python included with Uwe's installer already have the necessary MSVC redistributable on their machine from some other product installation. The fix would be to include the appropriate MSVC redistributable in Uwe's LyX installer. Note that it may have to be updated any time the Python binaries are updated, since they might be linked with a different MSVC version. Sure makes SVR4 shared object versioning look good, doesn't it? I wonder if disk manufacturers are paying M$ to do this? I've got about 54MB of crap in %windir%\winsxs, with multiple versions of each set of files. Presumably there's no way for Windoze to know that something depending on an older version can use the newer version, so old versions never go away. Kind of like that half gigabyte (and counting) of patch files that never gets deleted.

The standard installer already bundles Ghostscript and ImageMagick in a

That sounds interesting. I know that LyXLauncher does some magic, but
I was not able to figure out what it was. Is there any way to check
what LyXLauncher does to the environment?
Anyway, I have managed to put my experience down in the Wiki at
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/PortableInstallation . It is certainly not
easy or painless, but I think a few small changes could improve the
process significantly. Maybe the issues I had are bugs?
The first problem I had was related to the path. Ghostscript was not
really happy, and for some reason convert would not find ghostscript.
I had to do the following changes to get previews and eps-pdf
conversion working (the first three lines may or may not be necessary,
I did not test them individually):
path %LYX_DIR%python;%path%
path %LYX_DIR%bin;%path%
path %LYX_DIR%imagemagick;%path%
set GS_DIR=%LYX_DIR%ghostscript\
path %GS_DIR%bin;%path%
set GS_LIB=%GS_DIR%lib;%GS_DIR%fonts;%GS_DIR%Resource
The other issue was that convert would not recognise ghostscript. I
read that @PSdelegate@ in delegates.xml relies on registry keys, and
indeed replacing it with gswin32c.exe solved the issue. This was
necessary to get previews working for eps files.
Finally I keep getting an error message from reconfigure about
chklatex.ltx, which caused by the platex check. It seems like the
PLATEX variable is empty, and it calls the argument instead
if cmdOutput(PLATEX + ' chklatex.ltx').find('pLaTeX2e') != -1:
which is not recognised as an executable or an association.
And then there is a problem with TeX Live 2008. The new portable
function tl-portable.bat is very nice, but unfortunately it is so
inflexible that it can only start a console, and not another program.
Changing this may be easy, but it would require some advanced batch
language tricks, which is not my specialty.

Thomas

In fact that's actually the most sensible behaviour since there are only very few cases where a new version indeed can replace an older one without any existing or imagined problem. In particular that would mean not only source and binary but also behavioural compatibility including keeping buggy behaviour. When you factor in that application also can depend on runtime characteristics even optimizations might have to be ruled out, so there's really not much left what could be done in a newer version...

Query on printing with 'screens'
Hi all: I'm a Lyx user in Goa, and hope you won't mind me intruding. Every time I go in for a book, to be printed via offset, my printer has a problem. He takes the PDF file and attempts to do crazy things like importing it into Windows/Corel Draw, etc. He says the photos won't print because they don't have a screen. Query: * Is he right? * Is there some way of putting a screen on the photos? LyX takes TeX commands, so maybe if there's one I could use it. Earlier, he was struggling to find how to print the file laterally inverted (mirror image), and we found the command after some search.

Lyx 1.6 on ubuntu 8.04
Has anyone installed 1.6 on Ubuntu 8.04? Its available for Jaunty (as pointed out elsewhere on this forum), but not sure of the risks that may be involved. I currently have 1.5.5 installed via the Ubuntu repository, should I uninstall this before installing 1.6, or is it a bad idea to install 1.6 before its officially available for 8.04. I am new to Linux, and still finding my feet with it. Thanks for any advice. Graham

headings with the

Regarding the footnotes I tried
\usepackage[para]{footmisc} and \usepackage[hang,
flushmargin]{footmisc}
both failed with lyx 1.6. but works fine with lyx 1.5.6.
The problem is that
lyx 1.5.6 don't want to open files created with lyx
1.6.
Excuse me. I must to say \usepackage[flushmargin]{footmisc} instead
\usepackage[para]{footmisc}
Currently I have this in my preamble in a work fine with lyx 1.6.0 and no have
any problem.
I installed lyx 1.5.7 and I can open files created with lyx 1.6.0.
