Help User Guide set as Document Defaults
Beginner mistake... I am currently reading the User guide (document class: book (KOMA-Script)). By chance it is read only. I clicked Save as Document Defaults by mistake. Now, how do I get back to the Default document? Can re-generated a Default document by removing a file (e.g. lyxrc.defaults) in ~./lxy or in /usr/share/? Else? Setting the class back to Article and Save as Document Default won't help with the document settings of the User Guide. And, of course, I don't remember the initial Default settings.

Seems unrealetd to the OS, as you are on OS X, I'm on Windows 7. This bug may also be multiple ones, as you mention 2.0.1 also has issues while it is flawless for me (I do not think it is Qt-version related) - time needed to reach the bottom of a document, which seems to be discussed in the context of OS X only. This may be Qt-version related. I think Pavel Sanda listed also one recent change related to X11 (Linux and cousins). Best regards, O.

Re: Qt: was Slow scrolling
Le 05/01/2012 02:40, André Pönitz a écrit : The main performance problems I have seesn so far are due to an abuse of the toolkit, not caused _by_ the toolkit (except for the remote raster painter problem perhaps). Just start at RowPainter::paintChars() and walk down through all the mess _before_ it actually hits Qt's drawText() It is slow? You bet. The question is whether the Xorg takes 90% cpu complaints will go away with Abdel new patch. If they don't, it means that there are some slow operations on the Qt side that we do not understand (i.e. things we should avoid to use). I am not sure that our code in rowPainter::paintChars is so costly (except the fact that all metrics/painting should be done word-wise) I do not remember it showing so high in profiler. I'll have to check again some day. JMarc

I am now aware that my question is not LyX related, but some Fedora experienced users on the list might want to help with the issue: I am a Fedora desktop user. The Fedora repository Texlive version is old (2007), and some parts (modules?) are missing due to license problems, among which: Japanese input CJK, some fonts, etc. Installing LyX from the repository install Texlive2007 as one of the dependencies and everything works out of the box. I am left with 2 choices: a. As suggested by José Mato, installing the Fedora testing Texlive2011 version. b. Installing the Texlive2011 ISO. Method A would be the easiest, with my level of knowledge. However reading the Fedora forum, it is not recommended [It is not a statement, this is what I read, see url below] (I am not positive if the CJK module (or Ptex ?) - and some Japanese document classes - are include with this version. CJK is what I need most). http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=262135mode=linear http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive Method B might be optimal, but I am worry about dependencies problems.

Attach lyx file to pdf - question and feature idea
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi
I just discovered the attachfile2 LaTeX package, which enables me to
attach files to a pdf file, and it works very nicely:
1) add
\usepackage{attachfile2}
to the preamble
2) add
\attachfile{/path/to/document.lyx}
into an ERT box in the document where the link to the attachment
should be located
That's it.
Now I have two questions concerning my manual implementation:
1) is there a variable which I could use so that the ERT always works?
I know about \jobname{}, bu it seems this does not get expanded in the
command \attachfile{}?
2) is there a way that I can put \attachfile{} in the preamble, so
that it gets automatically added as an additional last page of the
document? In this way, I could easily control it without changing
anything in the actual content of the document.
Thinking ahead: I think it would be nice, tio have the option to do
this automatically, i.e. have a checkbox in the document settings,
(under pdf) that the .lyx file or the lyx archive could be added as an
attachment.
Even one step further, additional export formats could also be
attached, e.g. a .rtf version for editing?
Any suggestions / comments?
Cheers,
Rainer

The question is whether the Xorg takes 90% cpu complaints will go away with Abdel new patch. thats question indeed. this bug is mysterious and i can reproduce it unreliably on one older notebook i'm sitting now on (ATI radeon, linux closed source drivers) in ordinary case: \use_qimage false scrolling has 72% X - 22% lyx (of cpu time) \use_qimage true scrolling has 48% - 48% and feels somewhat slower which unfortunately shows that speed up might happen on nvidia while it slow down the thing at other system. secondly - up to now i was able to trigger the case of 97% X - 2% lyx only with \use_qimage false. in this case lyx is almost unusable and it seems i need already running another lyx instance in system to trigger it. whats really funny is that it seems that i'm able to repeat it quite more reliably in screnario first instance is \use_qimage true and second false. sometimes it doesn't happen in this scenario and it never happened (up to now) vice versa in false-true scenario. dont ask me why this should matter... so there is some chance the worst case scenario is gone in trunk. pavel

How to prevent escaping for LaTeX when in module?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi
I have written this small module to make attaching files to a pdf
easier. It works nice, unless I have e.g. a _ in the file name, as
then the text in the inset is escaped, i.e. newfile_1.lyx becomes
newfile\_.lyx, which is obviously not found. Is there a way of
treating the test in the inset as is and not escape it?
For illustration, I attach the module and two lyx files - newfile1.lyx
works, newfile_1.lyx does not.
Thanks,
Rainer

Sorry for replying late. I am currently reading the LyX guides, before to start a LaTex book. LyX is a great piece of software, and I like it. I am now aware that my question is not LyX related, but some Fedora experienced users on the list might want to help with the issue: I am a Fedora desktop user. The Fedora repository Texlive version is old (2007), and some parts (modules?) are missing due to license problems, among which: Japanese input CJK, some fonts, etc. Installing LyX from the repository install Texlive2007 as one of the dependencies and everything works out of the box. I am left with 2 choices: a. As suggested by José Mato, installing the Fedora testing Texlive2011 version. b. Installing the Texlive2011 ISO. Method A would be the easiest, with my level of knowledge. However reading the Fedora forum, it is not recommended [It is not a statement, this is what I read, see url below] (I am not positive if the CJK module (or Ptex ?) - and some Japanese document classes - are include with this version. CJK is what I need most). http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=262135mode=linear http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive Method B might be optimal, but I am worry about dependencies problems. The proper installation itself. And the latex front-end software settings (I have installed LyX and Texmaker). I've been using the TeXLive 2011 packages from jnovy for some time now. There were some weird font problems for a bit, but those got solved a while ago. I've seen none of the issues that people were complaining about on the forum (which was several months ago). The one issue you will have to deal with is that this repo splits everything up into about a zillion different packages. So, as you work, you will need to install packages as you need them. But this is easy, because you can just do things like: # sudo yum install 'tex(prettyref.sty)' and that will install texlive-prettyref-2011. I.e., you don't have to know the package name, just the file name. Richard

In Paragraphy styles (not in layouts I think), you can specify RequiredArgs.
See Customization.lyx.
A workaround in layouts is to simply insert }{ as a separator. This is a bad
hack, though.

They should. And there are many more advantages. The file paths are known to

If you look at the thread, you'll see several names of LyX developers (not exhautively: Pavel Sanda, Richard Heck, Jean-Marc Lasgouttes, André Pönitz) The problem is that we have yet to pinpoint the root cause. I see two major points: - we have experimental code that seems to improve the situation on linux. We'll probably learn more once it is deployed to many people. I am not sure there are plans to port to branch yet. This may be useful for cases where different people see different speeds. - there is a part of the code that we know should be rewritten: to compute metrics (size of words), we work at glyph level, while painting is done at word level. This is what creates display problems with OS X when the is kerning/ligatures effects. The paint single char pref that has been discussed makes everything work at glyph level, which is correct but slow. What we need is to do all at word level (except for RtL text, which is a different story). Unfortunately, this part of code is a can of worm and nobody dares touching it. If I look at the number of emails flying around on this issue, one should look at options how this can be fixed. I must admit I do not know the inner workings of LyX, so I might be completely off. I nobody dares to touch this code (I would guess because of time requirements once one starts fixing it), one could try to raise funds to pay somebody (preferably somebody who knows LyX's inner workings) to address this issue - it seems to be on many peoples mind. I think it's more of an issue of pure fear. That code is extremely complicated, and it would be very easy to mess things up worse instead of fixing them. So, speaking as branch maintainer, that kind of re-write definitely isn't happening in the 2.0.x series. Richard

Which fonts to match LyX output in other applications?
Hello, I need to create some figures for inclusion in a LyX document, using different Windows applications (mainly Corel Draw and MATLAB). I want the font in these figures to be as close as possible to the fonts in my main document. How can I find out which fonts I should use to match a) the normal text font b) the math mode font (for both latin and greek letters) and where do I find the appropriote font files? The current document in question uses book (koma-script) with all font settings on standard. I know there is PSfrag and I have experimented with it, but I do not really want to use it. I would prefer a simpler (and less perfectly looking) solution. Thanks Matthias

I'm not sure I understand. IMHO the user file should be read after the system file. So any external template in the system file that is not in the user file should be kept, new user-contributed files should be added. If templates are in both files, the user version should override the system version. Having said that, I wonder if it would not be better to split this file into one file per template, having templates/pdfpages.template, templates/xfig.template etc. Then we could read all *.template files in both directories, and stick with the practice of reading only one of each, like we do for *.layout etc. Jürgen

Slow scrolling and skipping are subjective - maybe the problem does exist under Linux, b ut the Linux users are more tolerant :-) (I use Linux...) Hi, Somehow subjective: skipping versus no skipping is objective. :-) Also, high CPU usage (seen by Jerry and I) is objective, as you can see it in the task manager, measured by the OS. Not to mention the fan speeding up. Best regards, O. But seriously: to really evaluate this, one would possibly need screen recordings of the actual scrolling and one person can evaluate them. Or installation of the OS in a virtual machine, and then checking (but this would not be representative for all systems). So I guess a howto to record the actual scrolling on screen and a website where this can be posted, should help. Cheers, Rainer

Identifying unused/unreferenced labels
Hi all - The LyX 1.6 What's New page (http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16#outliner) lists a Navigator feature that is easy spotting of unused/unreferenced labels. However, I don't see this feature in the Navigator in LyX 2.0.2. Was this feature eliminated for Lyx version 2? Assuming it was not, it isn't clear how to find unused/unreferenced labels from the Navigator, and Google didn't turn up anything useful, so could someone point out the steps? Thanks, Charles

Hi Gerry, Because I know very little of LaTeX, the underlying technology of LyX, the way I fix these type of problems is divide and conquer. First I back up my file for safe keeping. Then I split it roughly in half, and see if the symptom remains. If it does, I split it in half again. If it's still there, I split it in half again, etc. Of course, sometimes the symptom goes away when I take material away, so when it goes away, I put back half the material I last took away. Keep half-splitting it and pretty soon you'll get it down to a tiny document that exhibits the problem, and the root cause becomes obvious. This works for just about any situation where LyX fails to compile to PDF etc. Hope this helps.

Re: ! Missing $ inserted.
To locate the source of such problems, I export the file to latex and manually compile it to latex in a terminal (or command window in Windows). The compilation will give you a line number. You can open the latex file in a simple text editor and go to the line to have an idea of the part of the document that poses problem. -- Murat Yildizoglu yi...@u-bordeaux4.fr Le 6 janv. 2012 à 03:07, David L.

Seems unrealetd to the OS, as you are on OS X, I'm on Windows 7.

The question is whether the Xorg takes 90% cpu complaints will go away with Abdel new patch. If they don't, it means that there are some slow operations on the Qt side that we do not understand (i.e. things we should avoid to use).

Attach lyx file to pdf - question and feature idea
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi
I just discovered the attachfile2 LaTeX package, which enables me to
attach files to a pdf file, and it works very nicely:
1) add
\usepackage{attachfile2}
to the preamble
2) add
\attachfile{/path/to/document.lyx}
into an ERT box in the document where the link to the attachment
should be located
That's it.
Now I have two questions concerning my manual implementation:
1) is there a variable which I could use so that the ERT always works?
I know about \jobname{}, bu it seems this does not get expanded in the
command \attachfile{}?
2) is there a way that I can put \attachfile{} in the preamble, so
that it gets automatically added as an additional last page of the
document? In this way, I could easily control it without changing
anything in the actual content of the document.
Thinking ahead: I think it would be nice, tio have the option to do
this automatically, i.e. have a checkbox in the document settings,
(under pdf) that the .lyx file or the lyx archive could be added as an
attachment.
Even one step further, additional export formats could also be
attached, e.g. a .rtf version for editing?
Any suggestions / comments?
Cheers,
Rainer

The question is whether the Xorg takes 90% cpu complaints will go away with Abdel new patch. thats question indeed. this bug is mysterious and i can reproduce it unreliably on one older notebook i'm sitting now on (ATI radeon, linux closed source drivers) in ordinary case: \use_qimage false scrolling has 72% X - 22% lyx (of cpu time) \use_qimage true scrolling has 48% - 48% and feels somewhat slower which unfortunately shows that speed up might happen on nvidia while it slow down the thing at other system. secondly - up to now i was able to trigger the case of 97% X - 2% lyx only with \use_qimage false. in this case lyx is almost unusable and it seems i need already running another lyx instance in system to trigger it. whats really funny is that it seems that i'm able to repeat it quite more reliably in screnario first instance is \use_qimage true and second false. sometimes it doesn't happen in this scenario and it never happened (up to now) vice versa in false-true scenario. dont ask me why this should matter... so there is some chance the worst case scenario is gone in trunk. pavel

I cannot reproduce this. No messages appear on my terminal (LyX svn on

Do the messages appear:
* when typing the commands in a math-box
* when selecting the text \mathrm{K}^{+} and converting to math with
Ctrl-m
* when opening a file containing this math, or

Maybe a minimal example file could help further (e.g. to see whether it

How to prevent escaping for LaTeX when in module?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi
I have written this small module to make attaching files to a pdf
easier. It works nice, unless I have e.g. a _ in the file name, as
then the text in the inset is escaped, i.e. newfile_1.lyx becomes
newfile\_.lyx, which is obviously not found. Is there a way of
treating the test in the inset as is and not escape it?
For illustration, I attach the module and two lyx files - newfile1.lyx
works, newfile_1.lyx does not.
Thanks,
Rainer

Sorry for replying late. I am currently reading the LyX guides, before to start a LaTex book. LyX is a great piece of software, and I like it. I am now aware that my question is not LyX related, but some Fedora experienced users on the list might want to help with the issue: I am a Fedora desktop user. The Fedora repository Texlive version is old (2007), and some parts (modules?) are missing due to license problems, among which: Japanese input CJK, some fonts, etc. Installing LyX from the repository install Texlive2007 as one of the dependencies and everything works out of the box. I am left with 2 choices: a. As suggested by José Mato, installing the Fedora testing Texlive2011 version. b. Installing the Texlive2011 ISO. Method A would be the easiest, with my level of knowledge. However reading the Fedora forum, it is not recommended [It is not a statement, this is what I read, see url below] (I am not positive if the CJK module (or Ptex ?) - and some Japanese document classes - are include with this version. CJK is what I need most). http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=262135mode=linear http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive Method B might be optimal, but I am worry about dependencies problems. The proper installation itself. And the latex front-end software settings (I have installed LyX and Texmaker). I've been using the TeXLive 2011 packages from jnovy for some time now. There were some weird font problems for a bit, but those got solved a while ago. I've seen none of the issues that people were complaining about on the forum (which was several months ago). The one issue you will have to deal with is that this repo splits everything up into about a zillion different packages. So, as you work, you will need to install packages as you need them. But this is easy, because you can just do things like: # sudo yum install 'tex(prettyref.sty)' and that will install texlive-prettyref-2011. I.e., you don't have to know the package name, just the file name. Richard

In Paragraphy styles (not in layouts I think), you can specify RequiredArgs.
See Customization.lyx.
A workaround in layouts is to simply insert }{ as a separator. This is a bad
hack, though.

They should. And there are many more advantages. The file paths are known to
LyX, you can have preview, you can easily define options, etc.

How can I find out which fonts I should use to match a) the normal text font b) the math mode font (for both latin and greek letters) and where do I find the appropriote font files? The current document in question uses book (koma-script) with all font settings on standard. I know there is PSfrag and I have experimented with it, but I do not really want to use it. I would prefer a simpler (and less perfectly looking) solution. Thanks Matthias

In Paragraphy styles (not in layouts I think), you can specify
RequiredArgs. See Customization.lyx.
I'll do so - thanks.
A workaround in layouts is to simply insert }{ as a separator. This
is a bad hack, though.
Ugly hack - but an option.
However, I do not think such a module is the way to go. I
would rather try with an external material template. Have a
look at the pdfpages template for a model (in the file
external_templates).
Makes sense - never thought about that. I'll look into that and
think about it. For the moment, I am going to use the module.
Do I assume correctly, that these files I specify as external
content will be included in the lyx archive? That would be a
great advantage.
They should. And there are many more advantages. The file paths are
known to LyX, you can have preview, you can easily define options,
etc.
Agreed - I think I will go that way.
Cheers,
Rainer

I cannot reproduce this. No messages appear on my terminal (LyX svn on

The reason for the error messages was not the \mathrm{K}^{+} in the text,

I'm not sure I understand. IMHO the user file should be read after the system file. So any external template in the system file that is not in the user file should be kept, new user-contributed files should be added. If templates are in both files, the user version should override the system version. Having said that, I wonder if it would not be better to split this file into one file per template, having templates/pdfpages.template, templates/xfig.template etc. Then we could read all *.template files in both directories, and stick with the practice of reading only one of each, like we do for *.layout etc. Jürgen

BR, O. Interesting. So now we have reports of slow scrolling problems on multiple versions of OS X and multiple versions of Windows, where the problem got worse with 2.0.2 relative to 2.0.1. I don't think we have any reports of problems on Linux yet. Don't some versions of Linux use Qt as their native GUI engine? If so, maybe somehow there is less chance to mess things up since it would then be the native engine for those systems. Slow scrolling and skipping are subjective - maybe the problem does exist under Linux, b ut the Linux users are more tolerant :-) (I use Linux...) Hi, Somehow subjective: skipping versus no skipping is objective. :-) Also, high CPU usage (seen by Jerry and I) is objective, as you can see it in the task manager, measured by the OS. Not to mention the fan speeding up. Best regards, O. But seriously: to really evaluate this, one would possibly need screen recordings of the actual scrolling and one person can evaluate them. Or installation of the OS in a virtual machine, and then checking (but this would not be representative for all systems). So I guess a howto to record the actual scrolling on screen and a website where this can be posted, should help. Cheers, Rainer

Identifying unused/unreferenced labels
Hi all - The LyX 1.6 What's New page (http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16#outliner) lists a Navigator feature that is easy spotting of unused/unreferenced labels. However, I don't see this feature in the Navigator in LyX 2.0.2. Was this feature eliminated for Lyx version 2? Assuming it was not, it isn't clear how to find unused/unreferenced labels from the Navigator, and Google didn't turn up anything useful, so could someone point out the steps? Thanks, Charles

! Missing $ inserted.
I am a fairly new LyX user. I recently edited a chapter (Document class 'report') that I had previously had no trouble compiling. I now get the following errors: ! Missing $ inserted. ! Extra }, or forgotten $. ! LaTeX Error: Command \item invalid in math mode. ! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item. ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup. Although I have read some suggestions on Google, I can't seem to get to the bottom of these errors. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Gerry, Because I know very little of LaTeX, the underlying technology of LyX, the way I fix these type of problems is divide and conquer. First I back up my file for safe keeping. Then I split it roughly in half, and see if the symptom remains. If it does, I split it in half again. If it's still there, I split it in half again, etc. Of course, sometimes the symptom goes away when I take material away, so when it goes away, I put back half the material I last took away. Keep half-splitting it and pretty soon you'll get it down to a tiny document that exhibits the problem, and the root cause becomes obvious. This works for just about any situation where LyX fails to compile to PDF etc. Hope this helps.

Re: ! Missing $ inserted.
To locate the source of such problems, I export the file to latex and manually compile it to latex in a terminal (or command window in Windows). The compilation will give you a line number. You can open the latex file in a simple text editor and go to the line to have an idea of the part of the document that poses problem. -- Murat Yildizoglu yi...@u-bordeaux4.fr Le 6 janv. 2012 à 03:07, David L.
