 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.

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.


I am not sure I understand. Could you describe your directory layout for 
this document?

the paths with ./figure... manually.

Andrew had mentioned plyx as a way to do it more elegantly, and by trying

I thought the figures had local paths in the original document, and that 
in the archive form, these pathes were not correct anymore.


But if the problem is solved, it is fine with me :)

Installing Lyx/Mac w/out MacTeX. Is it possible?

[stefano franchi]

I am trying to convince a Mac-only colleague to use LyX on a common
project. She resists installing TeX on her system, for a number of reasons.

But she won't need to typeset anything---I'll be in charge of that---and
will only use LyX to edit jointly produced file.

A LyX-only installation would suit her needs perfectly. But I can't figure
out from the lyx.org page if this is possible at all. The page says:

LyX for Mac OS X is available here:
LyX-2.0.7+qt4.dmgftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/2.0.7/LyX-2.0.7+qt4.dmg.
Before you install LyX you need to install a TeX system such as
MacTeXhttp://www.tug.org/mactex/.


Is that requirement enforced? I don't have a Mac at my disposal to try it
out.

Best,

Stefano

KOMA-Script (scrbook): Using Uppertitleback environment

[Rich Shepard]

  I've read the 2007 edition of the KOMA-Script book (chapter 3) where
\uppertitleback{} and \lowertitleback{} are briefly described, and have
tried to figure out how to use them from the LyX environment pulldown menu,
but without success.

  Under the title, ToC, and List of Figures I have a series of quotes that I
want typeset on the obverse of the title page (there will be other
information at the bottom of that page). I've tried blocking the text and
choosing Uppertitleback but nothing appears when I view the dvi output or
the typeset (pdflatex) output.

  What am I missing here?

I'm sorry this has become messy, Wolfgang. I didn't anticipate left and 
right screen views being open while putting the pieces in their places, 
although it is clearly convenient to do so. However, I've just tried 
reconfiguring with left and right views open, and it proceeded without 
problems (on my Windows 7 machine).


The LyX pipe is nowhere involved in pLyX. Am I right in thinking (from 
other threads) that you have a LyX installation that you've compiled 
yourself? Perhaps you should remove all pLyX stuff and try reconfiguring 
after that. Then, if you wish, start again.

Note that some things won't work as nice - like the preview option

  A Web search led me to the solution. I document it here for use by others.

  1) Place the text immediately under the title and before the ToC.

  2) Define the environment as Uppertitleback.

  3) Use the standard environment, not quote or quotation, for the quotation
and attribution.

  4) Separate the quote from the attribution with a ragged line break
(ctrl-return).

  5) If there are multiple quotes, separate each pair with two ragged line
breaks.

Whew!

 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.

Installing Lyx/Mac w/out MacTeX. Is it possible?

[stefano franchi]

I am trying to convince a Mac-only colleague to use LyX on a common
project. She resists installing TeX on her system, for a number of reasons.

But she won't need to typeset anything---I'll be in charge of that---and
will only use LyX to edit jointly produced file.

A LyX-only installation would suit her needs perfectly. But I can't figure
out from the lyx.org page if this is possible at all. The page says:

LyX for Mac OS X is available here:
LyX-2.0.7+qt4.dmgftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/2.0.7/LyX-2.0.7+qt4.dmg.
Before you install LyX you need to install a TeX system such as
MacTeXhttp://www.tug.org/mactex/.


Is that requirement enforced? I don't have a Mac at my disposal to try it
out.

Best,

Stefano

I'm sorry this has become messy, Wolfgang. I didn't anticipate left and 
right screen views being open while putting the pieces in their places, 
although it is clearly convenient to do so. However, I've just tried 
reconfiguring with left and right views open, and it proceeded without 
problems (on my Windows 7 machine).


The LyX pipe is nowhere involved in pLyX. Am I right in thinking (from 
other threads) that you have a LyX installation that you've compiled 
yourself? Perhaps you should remove all pLyX stuff and try reconfiguring 
after that. Then, if you wish, start again.

Re: Installing Lyx/Mac w/out MacTeX. Is it possible?

[James Sutherland]

Note that some things won't work as nice - like the preview option
available for some ERT or equations which get typeset in place by running
latex in the background.  Other than that, it should work as a text editor
just fine.

  A Web search led me to the solution. I document it here for use by others.

  1) Place the text immediately under the title and before the ToC.

  2) Define the environment as Uppertitleback.

  3) Use the standard environment, not quote or quotation, for the quotation
and attribution.

  4) Separate the quote from the attribution with a ragged line break
(ctrl-return).

  5) If there are multiple quotes, separate each pair with two ragged line
breaks.

Whew!

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.


I am not sure I understand. Could you describe your directory layout for 
this document?

Andrew had mentioned plyx as a way to do it more elegantly, and by trying

I thought the figures had local paths in the original document, and that 
in the archive form, these pathes were not correct anymore.

Installing Lyx/Mac w/out MacTeX. Is it possible?

[stefano franchi]

I am trying to convince a Mac-only colleague to use LyX on a common
project. She resists installing TeX on her system, for a number of reasons.

But she won't need to typeset anything---I'll be in charge of that---and
will only use LyX to edit jointly produced file.

A LyX-only installation would suit her needs perfectly. But I can't figure
out from the lyx.org page if this is possible at all. The page says:

"LyX for Mac OS X is available here:
LyX-2.0.7+qt4.dmg.
Before you install LyX you need to install a TeX system such as
MacTeX.
"

Is that requirement enforced? I don't have a Mac at my disposal to try it
out.

Best,

Stefano

KOMA-Script (scrbook): Using Uppertitleback environment

[Rich Shepard]

  I've read the 2007 edition of the KOMA-Script book (chapter 3) where
\uppertitleback{} and \lowertitleback{} are briefly described, and have
tried to figure out how to use them from the LyX environment pulldown menu,
but without success.

  Under the title, ToC, and List of Figures I have a series of quotes that I
want typeset on the obverse of the title page (there will be other
information at the bottom of that page). I've tried blocking the text and
choosing Uppertitleback but nothing appears when I view the dvi output or
the typeset (pdflatex) output.

  What am I missing here?
