Where is insert branch in 2.0.7?

[Stephen Luttrell]

I have Lyx 2.0.7 on OS X 10.9.1.

The menu entry for Insert Branch branch name doesn't
exist in 2.0.7. Previously in 2.0.6, when you created a
new branch name, its name was appended to the menu entry
Insert Branch ... so that further instances of the branch
could then be created, but this no longer happens in 2.0.7.

In 2.0.7 the only way that I can find to insert a branch
whose name already exists seems to be to make a copy of
that branch from elsewhere in the document and to then
overwrite its contents with new material.

Have I overlooked something here?

I don't think so. The menu handling on Mac OS X is a problem
and had changed. It's possible you've detected a regression.

Unfortunately the menu bar handling on Mac OS X needs another
fix. The menuBar() method of GuiView inherited from QMainWindow
has to be overridden to make sure it's the global menu bar for
every menuBar() invocation.

I've attached a patch for it. Now Insert Branch branch name
is present again.

At least here on Linux, it's not that hard to put numbers on equations: 
Alt-m, n numbers (or unnumbers) the whole formula (every line if that's 
relevant), and Alt-m, N numbers (or unnumbers) an individual line.

 Hi Maria,

 I've never heard of this particular issue but other Mac-related screen
 issues have been solved by zooming. In Tools  Preferences  Look 
 Feel  Screen Fonts, does increasing Zoom help?

 Hi Scott,

 No, it didn't make a difference. I increased it from 150% to 250%, no
 hint of grid lines.

 Am I imagining that showing/hiding table gridlines used to be a
 setting in the GUI somewhere?

 You could be right. I don't remember. You could see if there are any
 differences in your preferences between the two computers. But I'm
 guessing it's a Qt related issue.

 Scott


 Try this perhaps
 LyX-Preferences-Look  Feel-Colors-table on/off line (last entry in the 
 list)

 I am on LyX 2.0.6, OSX 10.7.5.

 Hi,

 I can reproduce the problem on OSX 10.8.6 here.
 The preference setting mentioned above doesn't help.

 I tested the upcoming LyX 2.0.7 with Qt-4.8.5 and Cocoa API.

 I'm almost sure it's a LyX problem and not related with Qt.
 With LyX 2.1.0 dev and the same Qt libraries the problem is gone.

 I'll investigate further.

 I recommend to file a bug on trac. Maria, do you want me to do it?

 The cause of the problem is not obvious and IMHO it's not caused by
 user action.

 Stephan


Hmm, yes, would you please? I just upgraded to LyX 2.0.7, and the
problem is still present on Mac OS 10.8.5--but not on Mac OS 10.6.8.
Something is up.

There are many figures, therefore I would prefer NOT to select each

What would you recommend?

Using the tex file and, in an editor, replace the path, to end up with

Hullo Wolfgang,

This is the kind of thing that can be done with the find--replace 
script of the pLyX scripting system (on the wiki under Examples/pLyX 
system) which allows you to work from within the LyX gui. In fact I was 
faced with a similar task a couple of weeks ago (and found a bug in the 
script which I've since corrected). The system takes a little setting up 
(two file formats and two converters to be defined, plus some files to 
be distributed around your personal LyX folders), and some practice to 
get a feel for how it works.


If you do go this way, then you would need to insert a .find--replace 
inset containing


-i -r

to specify a regular expression inset search, followed by two  .argument 
insets, the first (the find regular expression) containing


filename .+/([\w\d\-]+)\.jpg

and the second (the replace expression) containing

filename ./\1.jpg

Then click the View other formats button and select pLyX.

This assumes that all your graphics are .jpg format, and that the names 
of your images (like 'Kalanchoe-closed') are made up only from letters, 
digits, hyphens and underscores.

I don't think so. The menu handling on Mac OS X is a problem
and had changed. It's possible you've detected a regression.
I have to verify it.

Unfortunately the menu bar handling on Mac OS X needs another
fix. The menuBar() method of GuiView inherited from QMainWindow
has to be overridden to make sure it's the global menu bar for
every menuBar() invocation.

I've attached a patch for it. Now "Insert Branch "
is present again.

I love LyX. I have been using it extensively for over 10 years. The only big

At least here on Linux, it's not that hard to put numbers on equations: 
Alt-m, n numbers (or unnumbers) the whole formula (every line if that's 
relevant), and Alt-m, N numbers (or unnumbers) an individual line.


Do you mean you'd like to be able to set a default so this happens 
automatically?

 You could be right. I don't remember. You could see if there are any
 differences in your preferences between the two computers. But I'm
 guessing it's a Qt related issue.

Hmm, yes, would you please? I just upgraded to LyX 2.0.7, and the
problem is still present on Mac OS 10.8.5--but not on Mac OS 10.6.8.
Something is up.

 I use LyX on several computers (all version 2.0.6) and cannot figure

 helpfully show up as light gray lines on the Macs running 10.6.8, but
 not on the one running 10.8.5. Is this a setting somewhere in the GUI

 Try this perhaps
 LyX->Preferences->Look & Feel->Colors->table on/off line (last entry in 
 the list)

It's ticket 8943. I used your original mail as description.

Re: graphics location

Dear Lyx Users,

I have exported my lyx file as a lyx archive, which contains as a tar.gz
file the lyx file, the used bib file and the figures used. This is quite
handy, because only the used figures, bib are saved.

However, I have this problem:

The path to the figures should be ./Kalanchoe-closed.jpg

as an example and not e.g.:

\begin_inset Graphics

filename BluFloClockTar/AAAflowerclock20130909/Kalanchoe-closed.jpg

since I would like to move the lyx file to another folder or send it away.

There are many figures, therefore I would prefer NOT to select each
figure path anew.

What would you recommend?

Using the tex file and, in an editor, replace the path, to end up with
./figureFile? Or is there a way in Lyx? (Which would be handy)

Wolfgang



Hullo Wolfgang,

This is the kind of thing that can be done with the find-&-replace 
script of the pLyX scripting system (on the wiki under Examples/pLyX 
system) which allows you to work from within the LyX gui. In fact I was 
faced with a similar task a couple of weeks ago (and found a bug in the 
script which I've since corrected). The system takes a little setting up 
(two file formats and two converters to be defined, plus some files to 
be distributed around your personal LyX folders), and some practice to 
get a feel for how it works.


If you do go this way, then you would need to insert a .find-&-replace 
inset containing


-i -r

to specify a regular expression inset search, followed by two  .argument 
insets, the first (the find regular expression) containing


filename .+/([\w\d\-]+)\.jpg

and the second (the replace expression) containing

filename ./\1.jpg

Then click the View other formats button and select pLyX.

This assumes that all your graphics are .jpg format, and that the names 
of your images (like 'Kalanchoe-closed') are made up only from letters, 
digits, hyphens and underscores.

Hello,

I moved from fedora 18 to fedora20 and I get the following error:
dist/tex/generic/babel/babel.def
File: babel.def 2013/12/03 3.9h Babel common definitions
\babel@savecnt=\count90
\U@D=\dimen107
)

\l@canadian = a dialect from \language\l@american 
\l@australian = a dialect from \language\l@british 
\l@newzealand = a dialect from \language\l@british 
)

! Package babel Error: Unknown option `french'. Either you misspelled it
(babel)                or the language definition file french.ldf was not found
.


However, the file french.ldf is really available in
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/frenchle/french.ldf
(texlive-frenchle)

In fedora 18 this file is not provided, only frenchb.ldf is available!

Is it a fedora20 or lyx issue?

Thank.
