Hi,

Commands for the 4.10 are available online at
http://www.downloadatoz.com/manual/ir/irfanview/hlp_command_line.htm

The list of command is available in the documentation on Irfan Viewer.

As for the original question, the following works for me, without 
needing to set LyX's path:


C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe $$i

The only problem is that Irfan starts minimized for some reason.

Best regards,

Thank you for your very swift answer!

*...but I am not sure it accepts simple parameters*...

Yes. Irfanview accepts commands. Here is the list:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pesala/Irfan%20View/i_options.txt

For our purposes, you write irfanview.exe image.gif in console window and
it open it.

*...Go to the LyX preferences and specify a viewer of your choice to the

irfanview as editor (in case the filename is irfanview.exe. Assure that

Yes. I dit it. I followed the explained procedure. Irfanview is launched but

works!

LyX 1.6.5 freeze

[lyxtex]

Hello everybody

When I try to open a LyX-Document on a network drive LyX opens very slowly
and then freezes. All other documents on the drive (pdf, word and such) can
be opened without a problem. And LyX documents on other drives can also be
opened without any problem. It's just the ones on the network drive. Does
anybody know how to possibly resolve this? Thanks in advance

~/usr/local/texlive/2008/, by this finding the subdirectory of the

After 3 or 4 additional packages I could run - on BasicTeX-2009 - with

Another LyX document, which first ended with telling I hadn't have  
installed the proper LaTeX cls (esint in this case) went well from LyX  
after installing esint with tlmgr.


With my prefered tufte-latex class there is still a problem on LyX which

tufte-latex 3.5 problem with LyX

[Joachim Osnabryg]

Admirable LyX Layouter,

in the framework of actualization of my MacTeX installation I installed
the brand actual version 3.5.0 of the tufte-latex classes from
http://code.google.com/p/tufte-latex/

Running the actual LyX example files (with the actual LyX layouts from
Uwe Stöhr) I get the LaTeX error

»Can be used only in the preamble«

for the title and the author in the LyX document.

For helping a bit more I exported the Tufte LyX example files to pdflatex.  
Running them with TeXShop or TeXworks give the same error message.


Experimentally I changed these files a little bit by moving the \title{…}  
and \author{…} rows

= before \begin{document}

and they compiled well with TeXShop or TeXworks.

Unfotunately I am not able to transpone this finding in the Tufte layout  
files.


May I hope you will find a working solution, best with title and author in  
the main LyX working window, third best with having to put title and  
author into the preamble (menu document = options) window.


Goutgaun!

Cutting and pasting in tables

[Maria Gouskova]

Dear LyX users,

First, configuration: Mac OS 10.6.2, LyX 1.6.4.2.

Second, when I use any sort of font formatting inside a table, say
underlining or italics, and then move the cursor to another cell in
the table, LyX assumes that the formatting for the text in next cell
will be the same as the last formatting I used. This happens even when
I select one letter and change its formatting to italics rather than
type the entire word in italics. Even hitting Cmd+e before typing in
the next cell doesn't change the formatting back to normal. The only
way to return formatting to normal is to select the newly typed text
and then toggle Cmd+e.

Is this behavior intended? Can others replicate it? It is new (as of
1.6, I believe) and, to me at least, unexpected.

Maria

Re: Cutting and pasting in tables

[Maria Gouskova]

Oh, sorry--forgot to mention that this sticky formatting persists
even when cutting and pasting or copying objects between cells. As in,
select an italicized letter, cut it, paste it to another cell, and
then try to type in a different cell--the text will be in italics.
This doesn't happen outside of tables.

(Hence the subject of the thread.)

Maria

type the entire word in italics. Even hitting Cmd+e before typing in
the next cell doesn't change the formatting back to normal. The only
way to return formatting to normal is to select the newly typed text
and then toggle Cmd+e.

Is this behavior intended? Can others replicate it? It is new (as of
1.6, I believe) and, to me at least, unexpected.

Re: Cutting and pasting in tables

[Maria Gouskova]

Oh, sorry--forgot to mention that this "sticky formatting" persists
even when cutting and pasting or copying objects between cells. As in,
select an italicized letter, cut it, paste it to another cell, and
then try to type in a different cell--the text will be in italics.
This doesn't happen outside of tables.

(Hence the subject of the thread.)

Re: tufte-latex 3.5 problem with LyX

in the framework of actualization of my MacTeX installation I installed
the brand actual version 3.5.0 of the tufte-latex classes from
http://code.google.com/p/tufte-latex/

Running the actual LyX example files (with the actual LyX layouts from
Uwe Stöhr) I get the LaTeX error

»Can be used only in the preamble«

for the title and the author in the LyX document.


I think that this is a bug in tufte 3.5 because the example files compiled well with the beta 
versions of tufte 3.5. The tufte version history also doesn't describe that the handling of \author 
and \title was changed. So before I'm going to change the LyX layout file, can you please contact 
the tufte developer (CC me) and ask how to proceed?


thanks and regards
