Also there appears to be a LyX ppa for ubuntu, but it appears to be
out-of-date, and rather broken:

https://launchpad.net/~lyx-developers/+archive/ppa

Are there any plans to have an up-to-date PPA for Ubuntu?
 (this would seem much cleaner than trying to manually build packages
for various versions of Ubuntu, and upload them to ftp.lyx.org).

The current is clearly distinguished from the others. My guess is that

Tortoise SVN is a graphical front-end to svn. I think it includes svn.exe. Even 
if it doesnt, you would need to install svn for windows and _NOT_ some cygwin 
stuff. Lyx needs the command line program, not a graphical front-end. 
Alternatively, you can just use Tortoise SVN _instead_ of LyX to handle

Allignment of figure

[tomas jansen]

Hi,
When I put a picture inside a float in LyX and make a pdf out of it the 
allignment is not in the center. The text under the picture is in the middle 
compared to normal text underneath. Up till a centain size the picture has more 
space on the right than on the left side. When the picture gets too big the 
picture shifts right and part of it is even right of the text.The paragraph 
settings of both the figure and the float do not seem to mind. I would like to 
make the picture 70% of the text width. I am using version 1.4.1 and making a 
book with two sides turned on.

Maybe that's an easier, and more elegant, solution 
than using ifthenelse. You learn something new about how powerful
LyX is every day. One advantage of using ifthenelse is that the conditional
becomes part of the LaTeX if you export to LaTeX, while branches is a
pure LyX solution (I still prefer to have a LaTeX copy of all my documents
for compatibility).

Making long selects

[john]

Hi

I am frustrated in my attempts to select very long passages (for
deletion) in a LyX document.

When I attempt to select by
a. Left clicking and holding then
b. Dragging the mouse

things work as expected until I hit the last visible line on the screen.
Then there is a mighty upheaval and I find I have selected way beyond my
intended target. So still holding down the left button and trying to go
back up a little - again LyX over reacts and I find myself back earlier
in the text than where I started.

Questions:

1. Am I doing something wrong?
2. Is there a better way to select largish chunks of text (say a whole
chapter).
3. Is there any way to mark places in a document then delete to the mark
(as in vi)

Re: Making long selects

Hi, I noticed the same kind of behavior. Now I use the ctrl+shift+arrow 
combination.

branch setting.

The `comment`__ package is a LaTeX equivalent of the LyX branches. It
allows named commends with configurable visibility in the output.

Also there appears to be a LyX ppa for ubuntu, but it appears to be
out-of-date, and rather broken:

https://launchpad.net/~lyx-developers/+archive/ppa

Are there any plans to have an up-to-date PPA for Ubuntu?
 (this would seem much cleaner than trying to manually build packages
for various versions of Ubuntu, and upload them to ftp.lyx.org).

The current is clearly distinguished from the others. My guess is that

I don't have access to a windows machine at the moment, but can you check if

Tortoise SVN is a graphical front-end to svn. I think it includes svn.exe. Even 
if it doesnt, you would need to install svn for windows and _NOT_ some cygwin 
stuff. Lyx needs the command line program, not a graphical front-end. 
Alternatively, you can just use Tortoise SVN _instead_ of LyX to handle 
versioning, but I guess you already knew that :)

Allignment of figure

[tomas jansen]

Hi,
When I put a picture inside a float in LyX and make a pdf out of it the 
allignment is not in the center. The text under the picture is in the middle 
compared to normal text underneath. Up till a centain size the picture has more 
space on the right than on the left side. When the picture gets too big the 
picture shifts right and part of it is even right of the text.The paragraph 
settings of both the figure and the float do not seem to mind. I would like to 
make the picture 70% of the text width. I am using version 1.4.1 and making a 
book with two sides turned on.

Hi Günter,

Lyx finds all classes files. I tested with Tools-Tex Information within Lyx.

LyX is every day. One advantage of using ifthenelse is that the conditional

As I said below (or above, depending on how you read this list), using branches
seems more elegant. I didn't realize this when I implemented the ifthenelse
solution.

Thanks for the Alternative Installer!

[Nick Bell]

Just a quick note to say thanks for the Alternative Installer for LyX 
1.6.2. Having banged my head against a brick wall for a day trying to 
get EPS/PDF previews to work using the standard Windows installer, 
messing around with paths etc., the complete alternative installer Just 
Worked.


Just as I was about to despair having switched back to Windows** on my 
work laptop, all is now well. Thanks!

Thanks for the answers, sorry for the confusion but I am using version 1.6.1, 
cannot download the new version at the moment.
I tried centering the picture, and on the preview screen it does center, just

I tried to change setting in both the float and the picture, and tried with

How to move bottom page number to top on chapter-heading pages?

Making long selects

[john]

Hi

I am frustrated in my attempts to select very long passages (for
deletion) in a LyX document.

When I attempt to select by
a. Left clicking and holding then
b. Dragging the mouse

things work as expected until I hit the last visible line on the screen.
Then there is a mighty upheaval and I find I have selected way beyond my
intended target. So still holding down the left button and trying to go
back up a little - again LyX over reacts and I find myself back earlier
in the text than where I started.

Questions:

1. Am I doing something wrong?
2. Is there a better way to select largish chunks of text (say a whole
chapter).
3. Is there any way to mark places in a document then delete to the mark
(as in vi)

 One advantage of using ifthenelse is that the conditional becomes part

The `comment`__ package is a LaTeX equivalent of the LyX branches. It
allows named commends with configurable visibility in the output.

Also there appears to be a LyX ppa for ubuntu, but it appears to be
out-of-date, and rather broken:

https://launchpad.net/~lyx-developers/+archive/ppa

Are there any plans to have an up-to-date PPA for Ubuntu?
 (this would seem much cleaner than trying to manually build packages
for various versions of Ubuntu, and upload them to ftp.lyx.org).

I don't have access to a windows machine at the moment, but can you check if 
svn is in the windows PATH? Just open a command prompt and type 'svn'. If it 
says command not found (or something similar), its not there. Try adding the 
Tortoise SVN folder containing svn.exe to the Windows PATH. (It's probably 
Program Files\Tortoise SVN\bin). Follow this guide to add something to the PATH 
variable:

Tortoise SVN is a graphical front-end to svn. I think it includes svn.exe. Even 
if it doesnt, you would need to install svn for windows and _NOT_ some cygwin 
stuff. Lyx needs the command line program, not a graphical front-end. 
Alternatively, you can just use Tortoise SVN _instead_ of LyX to handle 
versioning, but I guess you already knew that :)

Allignment of figure

[tomas jansen]

Hi,
When I put a picture inside a float in LyX and make a pdf out of it the 
allignment is not in the center. The text under the picture is in the middle 
compared to normal text underneath. Up till a centain size the picture has more 
space on the right than on the left side. When the picture gets too big the 
picture shifts right and part of it is even right of the text.The paragraph 
settings of both the figure and the float do not seem to mind. I would like to 
make the picture 70% of the text width. I am using version 1.4.1 and making a 
book with two sides turned on.
