 I guess Richard's suggestion was:
 
 do not do: viewpdflatex,
 
 ***instead**
 
 do: fileexport pdflatex
 
 That would seem to solve your problem.
 
 You may even open a pdf viewer with file watching capabilities on the 
 exported file before you 
 start working on it and you'd enjoy the same advantages as working on a file 
 residing temp 
 directory.
 
 In fact, now that I think of, why isn't this LyX's standard behavior (as it 
 is, e.g., in 
 Kile)?

Let me guess: the export creates a document which you want to keep, while the 
view creates a
preview document, which is kind of work in progress.

So it is kind of security - preview does not mess with your documents.

Thanks guys. 

I added a new shortcut as command-sequence buffer-view pdf2; buffer-export 
pdf2;.

I guess that there is no changes between these two commands, so the file won't 
be compiled twice. But I am not sure. 

It works sometimes, but the preview is updated immediately whilst the stored 
file is updated after a long time. 

The option in Preferences that overwritten on export has been changed 
to all files.

I don't why. Any idea?

Delurk, and lualatex.exe

[Samuel Murray]

G'day everyone

I'm trying out various LaTeX editors and I notice that when I run LyX, a 
program named lualatex.exe tries to access the internet.  Why?


I used the 200 MB installer file, which has everything bundled into it, 
and MiKTeX downloaded an additional 12 MB of updates during the 
installation procedure.  But the program lualatex.exe tries to access 
the internet when I run LyX, not during the installation.


Does anyone know what lualatex.exe is and why it needs to access the 
internet?


I'm using Windows 7 HP 64-bit SP1.

Thanks

Lualatex is one of the latex versions that you can use. It is to have it

I assume that miktex did not download everything it needs yet.

For now, I just added to shortcuts, one for buffer-view and one for export. 
They works fine. 

Just wonder why cannot put them together.

Not as far as I'm aware.  Although, now that I think about it, the first 
time you run LyX it automatically opens a LaTeX file in itself, with an 
introductory message.


Now that I run LyX for the second time, lualatex.exe no longer attempts 
to connect to the internet, because no document is open in it.

I am not sure about what happens, but as far as I know lualatex.exe is a
safe program.


Google Update and Adobe Update are also safe programs :-) that access 
the internet and do all kinds of stuff without the user's say-so.  My 
concern wasn't with whether it was a trojan or not, but with whether it 
would download additional updates.  I wanted to know (initially) how 
large the actual installer for LyX is (including all required updates).

Re: How I can get thin space more narrow?

[Marcelo Acuña]

Marcelo Acuña wrote:

 How I can redefine thin space for get it more narrow?
 I want to get a 0.4 * thin space but I don't know how to redefine it.

These are the relevant definitions from the LaTeX kernel:

\DeclareRobustCommand{\,}{%
   \relax\ifmmode\mskip\thinmuskip\else\thinspace\fi
}

\def\thinspace{\kern .16667em }

Adjusting the value in the thinspace definition will do. However, \thinspace 
is used in other macros. If you only want to change the width of the thin 
space itself, I would go for something like

\DeclareRobustCommand{\,}{%
   \relax\ifmmode\mskip\thinmuskip\else\mythinspace\fi
}

\def\mythinspace{\kern .06668em }



This work well, thank Jürgen!

Refer to Subnumbered Equations

I have some subnumbered equations (1a, 1b,...) in my document. Is it
possible to insert a reference to Eq. 1 rather than Eq. 1a, or do I
have to do this manually?

Re: Customize Copier in LyX

[Xi Zhang]

Finally, I realized part of function that I want, though not satisfactorily. 

I found that a pdf file in a temp folder is updated very time I pdflatex. Say, 
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Temp\lyx_tmpdir.Hp2836\lyx_tmpbuf2. Every time 
pdflatex open the viewer, it opens the this file.

Thus the viewer for pdflatex is defined as SumatraView.bat, which is

start  /D %~dp1 /B SumatraPDF.exe -reuse-instance -inverse-
search lyxeditor.exe %%f %%l %~nx1
copy %~1 D:\Dropbox\PDFs /Y

The first line are openning the pdfviewer and passing inverse search 
parameters.

The second copies the file from the temporary folder to the Dropbox folder.  

Everytime I pdflatex, the PDF is copied to the specified folder. 

However, there is one more thing I would like to do: instead of putting it in 
a specific folder, I have the PDF file be put in the same folder as the lyx 
file is. 

I have checked that when pdflated run the pdf viewer, only the path of the 
temporary file is passed to SumatraView.bat.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the path of the lyx file? 

Thanks in advance!

Best, Xi

Adjusting the value in the thinspace definition will do. However, \thinspace 
is used in other macros. If you only want to change the width of the thin 
space itself, I would go for something like

\DeclareRobustCommand{\,}{%
   \relax\ifmmode\mskip\thinmuskip\else\mythinspace\fi
}

\def\mythinspace{\kern .06668em }



This work well, thank Jürgen!

Refer to Subnumbered Equations

[Jane Shevtsov]

I have some subnumbered equations (1a, 1b,...) in my document. Is it
possible to insert a reference to Eq. 1 rather than Eq. 1a, or do I
have to do this manually?

Thanks,
Jane

LyX is looking for a dictionary for this language and should have

Re: Customize Copier in LyX

[Xi Zhang]

Finally, I realized part of function that I want, though not satisfactorily. 

I found that a pdf file in a temp folder is updated very time I pdflatex. Say, 
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Temp\lyx_tmpdir.Hp2836\lyx_tmpbuf2. Every time 
pdflatex open the viewer, it opens the this file.

Thus the viewer for pdflatex is defined as SumatraView.bat, which is

start  /D %~dp1 /B SumatraPDF.exe -reuse-instance -inverse-
search lyxeditor.exe %%f %%l %~nx1
copy %~1 D:\Dropbox\PDFs /Y

The first line are openning the pdfviewer and passing inverse search 
parameters.

The second copies the file from the temporary folder to the Dropbox folder.  

Everytime I pdflatex, the PDF is copied to the specified folder. 

However, there is one more thing I would like to do: instead of putting it in 
a specific folder, I have the PDF file be put in the same folder as the lyx 
file is. 

I have checked that when pdflated run the pdf viewer, only the path of the 
temporary file is passed to SumatraView.bat.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the path of the lyx file? 

Thanks in advance!

Best, Xi

Let me guess: the export creates a document which you want to keep, while the 
view creates a
preview document, which is kind of work in progress.

So it is kind of security - preview does not mess with your documents.

Change the keybinding Shift-Control-r (refresh preview) to export the format 
you want, and I think
you can even disable the "overwrtite confirmation" dialog.

Thanks guys. 

I added a new shortcut as "command-sequence buffer-view pdf2; buffer-export 
pdf2;".

I guess that there is no changes between these two commands, so the file won't 
be compiled twice. But I am not sure. 

It works sometimes, but the preview is updated immediately whilst the stored 
file is updated after a long time. 

The option in Preferences that "overwritten on export" has been changed 
to "all files".

I don't why. Any idea?

Delurk, and lualatex.exe

[Samuel Murray]

G'day everyone

I'm trying out various LaTeX editors and I notice that when I run LyX, a 
program named lualatex.exe tries to access the internet.  Why?


I used the 200 MB installer file, which has everything bundled into it, 
and MiKTeX downloaded an additional 12 MB of updates during the 
installation procedure.  But the program lualatex.exe tries to access 
the internet when I run LyX, not during the installation.


Does anyone know what lualatex.exe is and why it needs to access the 
internet?


I'm using Windows 7 HP 64-bit SP1.

Thanks
Samuel

Lualatex is one of the latex versions that you can use. It is to have it 
run when typesetting a document. Do you use special fonts?


I assume that miktex did not download everything it needs yet.

I really do not like this autoloading of packages business...

Re: Customize Copier in LyX

For now, I just added to shortcuts, one for buffer-view and one for export. 
They works fine. 

Just wonder why cannot put them together.

Lualatex is one of the latex versions that you can use. It is to have it

Not as far as I'm aware.  Although, now that I think about it, the first 
time you run LyX it automatically opens a LaTeX file in itself, with an 
introductory message.


Now that I run LyX for the second time, lualatex.exe no longer attempts 
to connect to the internet, because no document is open in it.

I am not sure about what happens, but as far as I know lualatex.exe is a
safe program.


Google Update and Adobe Update are also "safe" programs :-) that access 
the internet and do all kinds of stuff without the user's say-so.  My 
concern wasn't with whether it was a trojan or not, but with whether it 
would download additional updates.  I wanted to know (initially) how 
large the actual installer for LyX is (including all required updates).
