Re: Keyboard Shortcuts: 1.6.3
On Tue, 7 Jul 2009, Rich Shepard wrote: This question is about my installation of 1.6.3 on linux. Under Tools->Preferences->Shortcuts->Documents and window, there is a key 'buffer-export' with the assigned value of 'Ctrl-X H'. That key combination does nothing; the status line tells me it's been disabled. What I don't know is what flavor of buffer export it is supposed to invoke. If I try to change the valued from 'Ctrl-X H' to 'Ctrl-H' a message pops up telling me that chord is already assigned to buffer-export. Under File->Export I can manually select pdflatex and that works as intended. In ~/.lyx/bind/my.bind the 'buffer-export' value is assigned to the key 'Ctrl-H', but that does not work either. It moves the cursor a line above the title, but that's it. I'd appreciate learning what to do to get ctrl-h to export the buffer using pdflatex. Of course, learning why the icon bar handles don't let me move them would also be appreciated. Here's a (very) partial answer. I think that 'buffer-export' requires an argument, e.g. 'pdf2' to say what kind of export you want. Maybe that's incompatible with just using 'Ctrl-x h' for export? You could try doing M-x (should give you a prompt, and then type) buffer-export pdf2 After getting that to work, you could probably bind a command that does the above to a keyboard shortcut. Or ask on the developers list... :-) /Christian -- Christian Ridderström Mobile: +46-8 768 39 44
Sty to Layout problem
Hi,
I'm trying to write an article at Lyx, but I had some problems when I tried
to use a .layout that I created from the .sty file provided by the
conference. I've followed the Customization Instructions (5.2.3) but it
doesn't work at Lyx, especially when I try to add a Title (it says is a
\maketitle problem). Searching the mailing list I found someone who had
almost the same problem, and added
Style TitleERT
InTitle 1
End
in the .layout to solve it. I tried to do that, but I still can't compile my
files.
I attached the .sty and .layout files, and a .tex which is an example of
use.
Thanks!

Yes, it is the image omtenta_trig.jpg that has an uneven number of lines (1123) and is scaled down 50% (changing either of the two will work around the problem). This is a bug in Qt 4.5 (which you probably have because of Ubuntu9.04). Please upgrade Qt to 4.5.2 (I'm not sure about 4.5.1, I think it was fixed). There have been threads about this on this list.

Re: Shuffling subsections in different sub-docs

Simply import the LyX docs into the main doc and reorder the sections as desired. I suppose that there is no way to do it if the subsections reside in the sub-docs.

Often people assume that because they miss the most basic thing about Free Open Source Software, that is, a better way to develop software. And there are multiple examples that it is. (Of course, there are many unsuccessful open source projects as well. Everybody should learn through these unsuccessful experiences.) "Free" is/should referring/refer to transparency, access to knowledge, meritocracy, the right to be informed, the right to doubt and not to (solely?, necessarily?) have cost-free software. Personally, I feel great to have the opportunity to use FOSSes which do not restrict the way I like to work, where I work or force me to either pay licenses or find somehow "illegal" copies of proprietary tools. All this is enough to make me, a simple user, to contribute as much as I can (financially, bugreporting, documenting, communicating FOSS news). Now if FOSS will make our world better the time will show... ;-) Best regards, Nikos

Let me take the case of the inline spellchecker that is now implemented in trunk (i.e. next version of LyX): This feature has been requested for *years* by a lot of users. Unfortunately no LyX developer, including me, found this feature interesting enough to devote their spare time in order to implement it. So I had the idea to create these sponsorship project in order to enable users or company to actually do something about it. I found no other means than money in order to motivate a developer. The rest is history: people donated money, I took the project (and the money) and I implemented the feature. Now let's be clear about it: this money is not worth the total time I spent on this feature; I actually spent more than 10 full days for that project. I actually this a just retribution for a feature I was not interested in to begin with. Cheers, Abdel

Re: Donations for the Lyx project: Compare two Lyx documents
Hello everybody, I would like to add something about what Manveru explained about money and Open-source projects, that is: Manveru wrote: >A lot of open source developers are freelancers, >so they income depends on number of projects they are able to realize >for their clients. As you probably know money are needed to cover >existence cost like accommodation, food, etc In my opinion, it is always a bit "tricky" to ask about donating money for Open-source developers. Some users assume that Open-source softwares must be always developed and released for free. Actually, in my opinion, in the "real world", it happens often the contrary. For instance, Ubuntu is developed thanks to the money of its multi-millionaire founder, that is, Mark Shuttleworth. OpenOffice, lives thanks to the backup of Sun (now Oracle) and Novell (even Ibm has its hands on it). Ardour, probably the most powerful open-source software to modify your music tracks, lives only thanks to the money donated by its users (it gets 5000$ every month). Many Open-source projects (e.g Gimp, Scribus, Inkscape, Blender etc) flourish thanks to Google, through its "Summer code projects" (for each project sponsored, Google gives 5000 $). To sum up, if you wish to have a certain feature, money is often the best way to get it :-) Even in the Open-source world ;-) Best regards, Silvio

Because if this is not the > case, I do not understand the need for money. The answer is simple. A lot of open source developers are freelancers, so they income depends on number of projects they are able to realize for their clients. As you probably know money are needed to cover existence cost like accommodation, food, etc. If someone declared that can add such feature to the LyX project and need some time for this, and knows that needs time that cannot be share across other project, someone else have to cover such costs of existence. This is something like rent-a-coder, but it this case AFAIK this is about developer from LyX team. I am somehow interested in such feature, but I do not have spare money to donate and my company is rather not interested in LyX.

Donations for the Lyx project: Compare two Lyx documents
Hello everybody, For anyone interested in the option to compare two Lyx documents there is the opportunity to donate some money to develop such feature. The link in the Lyx webpage to get more information is: http://www.lyx.org/Donate This feature will be developed by Lyx's developers as soon as It reaches the minimum money to get the project started. More precisely, the projects aims at compare two documents and generate a third document where the differences between the two documents will be highlighted using the track change feature (Menu "Edit->Change Tracking->Enable Change Tracking" if you don't know about it). So you would have to open the menu "File->Compare two Documents" then select the two documents with a file dialogue one after the other and 'voila', LyX will generate the third document and open it automatically for you. At present, there are 1270 euros available but the project needs still 730 euros to being accepted. In conclusion, if you are interested in this new feature and you wish to donate a bit of your spare money this project allows you to do so :-) Best regards, Silvio
Re: Multiple Language Quotation Problem

I very commonly have a paragraph of quotation in Greek, followed by a paragraph

Here is an example. This is what I type in Lyx:
Looks like you found a LyX bug then.
Could you please report it here: http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome
Uploading a small problem file with the report is nice too.
I tested LyX 1.6.3, and the bug is there too. It happens if both
environments are quotations (the greek and the translation).
It does not happen if the "normal" layout is used instead of
qutoation. The bug also goes away if an environment separator is
inserted, but that results in more white space in the output too.
The problem happens with quote and verse too. But the two paragraphs has
to be the same type - one quote and one verse gives no bug.
Seems to be a problem with latex code generation. When two paragraphs
of the same type follow each other, they are set with less vertical
space. And if they are numbered (like theorem) then they only get
one number. They get merged in a way. And this goes wrong when combined
with langauge changes.
The latex export shows the problem:
\begin{document}
Test with greek
\selectlanguage{polutonikogreek}%
\begin{quote}
\inputencoding{iso-8859-7}greek
\selectlanguage{english}%
\inputencoding{latin9}Test with greek
\end{quote}
Test with greek
\end{document}
As we see, plutonikogreek is selected before the quote,
because the entire _first_ quote is in greek.
Then, the language gets reset to english in the middle
of the _merged_ qutoes.
Finally, the _merged_ quotes ends, and the language then reverts
to what it was immediately before the the merged quotes. And that
was greek!
The problem does not happen with colors or textstyles, probably because
latex do these differently.
When having several greek quotes following each other, greek is
activated only once, before the first one. This is nice as it saves
latex code when long sets of paragraph are typeset in a different
language. (Common for bilingual books) But, when there are these
"mergeable" layouts, care must
be taken when language gets switched in the middle. Currently,
latex looses the switch when the merged set of paragraphs ends,
but LyX does not. Therefore, the bug.
