 As often, this is due to changes in the underlying Qt platform
 that seem to exist only on certain versions of OSX. We have had
 this problem before, and there are other issues about Cocoa versus 
 whatever versus whatever else. It is difficult to test every 
 combination, and we have only a couple active OSX developers. Many 
 of them use trunk (2.1.dev) for obvious sorts of reasons. So,
 well, we could really use a couple people who could test the OSX
 version on a more regular basis.

To facilitate this, may I suggest to create a homebrew recipe to
facilitate the installation and update of the latest LyX? At least for
me, I would likely use (and update) it regularly  as it is no hassle
at all (in contrast to downloading and installing, or even compiling
first.

Cheers,

Rainer

 I use the 2.0.x branch, on Linux, for all my work, so I always
 have the latest updates, and the latest bugs, too ;-) Lots of
 Linux people do this, and so we always have a very up-to-date
 picture of how things are there. As a result, there are rarely
 surprise bugs on Linux. If you can compile, then it is actually
 very easy. Check out the 2.0.x branch via git, then compile it
 manually or set up a cron job to keep it up to date, if you really
 want to be hi-tech.
 
 As Scott said, we will release an updated version shortly. There's 
 a fix for this issue already in branch, if you want to check that 
 out, though it apparently causes other problems. For now, you may 
 want to go back to 2.0.6.

 Major disappointment LyX 2.0.7,  on OS X 10.7.5 Mac Pro 1,1: 
 Full screen causes application menu bar options list to go 
 blank. Return from full screen does not restore list.
 
 1. Normal options present until fullscreen invoked.
 
 2. LyX 2.0.6 performs normally.
 
 Posted ticket tracker #8942 on January 25. Anyone else
 notice this?

Thanks, Andrew,

I am on Debian (Linux). My assumption that the strange appearance 
(see my screen shot of the upper left LyX menu bar) was a result of 
the lyxpipe warning was wrong, since I do not get this anymore. However, 
the strange appearance is found whenever I start LyX.
If it does not interfere with my working with LyX, I don't mind. But its 
strange...

This looks like the old bug about new toolbars showing up at weird 
places. I think this is will go away with a clean session. Try removing 
~/.config/LyX/lyx.conf (or a different name if LyX was built with 
version suffix).

Yes, after renaming lyx.conf to lyx.conf.x the weird toolbar disappeared. 
However, even after reconfigure no new  lyx.conf was created. Might come 
after rebooting?

It should be created when quitting LyX. This is the place that stores 
toolbar positions, window size and other GUI-related things.

Book Frontmatter

[Rich Shepard]

  Has anyone prepared all the normal front-matter for a book that will be
printed? I'm preparing a book to be provided students in a short course that
I'll be offering and will have them printed and bound by a small-run
printer.

  I know there's a title page, half-title page, and others whose names I do
not know. I'm looking for guidelines on what should be included in a
complete PDF file and just how to prepare all this using the KOMA-script
book class.

TIA,

Rich

Acknowledgements, dedication, title page, copyright page, about the
author, table of contents, and sometimes how to use this book or
about this book.

Those are the ones I can think of, standing on one foot. I'd suggest a
trip to the bookstore, take 4 or 5 books from your approximate genre,
and look what they provide in the frontmatter, and how they do it. For
instance, I personally don't provide a brand new page for each one.

One more thing: In the old days I recommended ERT fingerpainting the
frontmatter. Due to the advent of flowing text eBook formats like ePub
and Mobi, I no longer make that recommendation, because doing so is the
kiss of death when converting to flowing text. Instead, I recommend
making new styles for each appearance in the frontmatter. I personally
don't use chapters for the title page, acknowledgements, etc, because
chapters are a special thing used in the mainmatter. I just make new
environments for acks and deds and title page and the like.

One never knows when something will get popular and demanded in ePub or

frontmatter, you leave the door to do that open.

Hi Rich,
I would normally defer to Steve on most of these questions, but I do
think that a printed book has a more or less standard set of frontmatter
pages. 

In my little (and mostly outdated) book 'Self-publishing with LyX', I
discuss the ordinary frontmatter pages and how they might be set up with
the ordinary book class.

Alan,

  As Stafano pointed out to me in an off-list message, the Chicago Manual of
Style has (in my copy of the 15th Edition) Appendix A on design and
producion which runs 54 pages. :-) And I'll be working the Gorham Publishers
in Centralia, WA (that's Washington state, not Western Australia) who will

Remove Page Number From 'Part ' Page

[Rich Shepard]

  My web search foo finds pages on how to remove numbering on an individual
page; e.g.,
\thispagestyle{empty}
\pagestyle{empty}

but it's not working for me. Perhaps it's the position in the text?

  The sequence is:

  1) Title
  2) Author
  3) \uppertitleback{}
  4) \pagenumbering{roman}
 \setcounter{page}{1}
 \pagestyle{headings}
  5) Table of Contents
  6) Lists of Figures
  7) Lists of Tables
  8) \mainmatter
 \thispagestyle{empty}
 \pagestyle{empty}
  9) Part 1.
Background (in the Part environment)

  The list of tables ends on page vii. The next page is blank, then Part 1 
Background is numbered 1, followed by a blank page and the first page of

Chapter 1 which also is numbered 1. I want no page number on the 'Part'
page.

  What have I missed here?

I guess the CMS will address 'Brevity' in the second volume :-).

Anyway, I agree with Steve that it is worth the time to set up styles 
for each aspect of the frontmatter.


I've heard of WA. Isn't there some sort of software company there?

Facilitate testing on OSX - WAS: menu bar lost in OS X

 As often, this is due to changes in the underlying Qt platform
 that seem to exist only on certain versions of OSX. We have had
 this problem before, and there are other issues about Cocoa versus 
 whatever versus whatever else. It is difficult to test every 
 combination, and we have only a couple active OSX developers. Many 
 of them use trunk (2.1.dev) for obvious sorts of reasons. So,
 well, we could really use a couple people who could test the OSX
 version on a more regular basis.

To facilitate this, may I suggest to create a homebrew recipe to
facilitate the installation and update of the latest LyX? At least for
me, I would likely use (and update) it regularly  as it is no hassle
at all (in contrast to downloading and installing, or even compiling
first.

Cheers,

Rainer

 I use the 2.0.x branch, on Linux, for all my work, so I always
 have the latest updates, and the latest bugs, too ;-) Lots of
 Linux people do this, and so we always have a very up-to-date
 picture of how things are there. As a result, there are rarely
 surprise bugs on Linux. If you can compile, then it is actually
 very easy. Check out the 2.0.x branch via git, then compile it
 manually or set up a cron job to keep it up to date, if you really
 want to be hi-tech.
 
 As Scott said, we will release an updated version shortly. There's 
 a fix for this issue already in branch, if you want to check that 
 out, though it apparently causes other problems. For now, you may 
 want to go back to 2.0.6.

 Major disappointment LyX 2.0.7,  on OS X 10.7.5 Mac Pro 1,1: 
 Full screen causes application menu bar options list to go 
 blank. Return from full screen does not restore list.
 
 1. Normal options present until fullscreen invoked.

Thanks, Andrew,

I am on Debian (Linux). My assumption that the strange appearance 
(see my screen shot of the upper left LyX menu bar) was a result of 
the lyxpipe warning was wrong, since I do not get this anymore. However, 
the strange appearance is found whenever I start LyX.

This looks like the old bug about new toolbars showing up at weird 
places. I think this is will go away with a clean session. Try removing 
~/.config/LyX/lyx.conf (or a different name if LyX was built with

Yes, after renaming lyx.conf to lyx.conf.x the weird toolbar disappeared. 
However, even after reconfigure no new  lyx.conf was created. Might come

It should be created when quitting LyX. This is the place that stores 
toolbar positions, window size and other GUI-related things.

Book Frontmatter

[Rich Shepard]

  Has anyone prepared all the normal front-matter for a book that will be
printed? I'm preparing a book to be provided students in a short course that
I'll be offering and will have them printed and bound by a small-run
printer.

  I know there's a title page, half-title page, and others whose names I do
not know. I'm looking for guidelines on what should be included in a
complete PDF file and just how to prepare all this using the KOMA-script
book class.

TIA,

Acknowledgements, dedication, title page, copyright page, about the
author, table of contents, and sometimes how to use this book or
about this book.

Those are the ones I can think of, standing on one foot. I'd suggest a
trip to the bookstore, take 4 or 5 books from your approximate genre,
and look what they provide in the frontmatter, and how they do it. For
instance, I personally don't provide a brand new page for each one.

One more thing: In the old days I recommended ERT fingerpainting the
frontmatter. Due to the advent of flowing text eBook formats like ePub
and Mobi, I no longer make that recommendation, because doing so is the
kiss of death when converting to flowing text. Instead, I recommend
making new styles for each appearance in the frontmatter. I personally
don't use chapters for the title page, acknowledgements, etc, because
chapters are a special thing used in the mainmatter. I just make new
environments for acks and deds and title page and the like.

One never knows when something will get popular and demanded in ePub or

frontmatter, you leave the door to do that open.

Hi Rich,
I would normally defer to Steve on most of these questions, but I do
think that a printed book has a more or less standard set of frontmatter
pages. 

In my little (and mostly outdated) book 'Self-publishing with LyX', I
discuss the ordinary frontmatter pages and how they might be set up with
the ordinary book class.

  As Stafano pointed out to me in an off-list message, the Chicago Manual of

Remove Page Number From 'Part ' Page

[Rich Shepard]

  My web search foo finds pages on how to remove numbering on an individual
page; e.g.,
\thispagestyle{empty}
\pagestyle{empty}

but it's not working for me. Perhaps it's the position in the text?

  The sequence is:

  1) Title
  2) Author
  3) \uppertitleback{}
  4) \pagenumbering{roman}
 \setcounter{page}{1}
 \pagestyle{headings}
  5) Table of Contents
  6) Lists of Figures
  7) Lists of Tables
  8) \mainmatter
 \thispagestyle{empty}
 \pagestyle{empty}
  9) Part 1.
Background (in the Part environment)

  The list of tables ends on page vii. The next page is blank, then Part 1 
Background is numbered 1, followed by a blank page and the first page of

Chapter 1 which also is numbered 1. I want no page number on the 'Part'
page.

  What have I missed here?

I guess the CMS will address 'Brevity' in the second volume :-).

Anyway, I agree with Steve that it is worth the time to set up styles 
for each aspect of the frontmatter.


I've heard of WA. Isn't there some sort of software company there?

To facilitate this, may I suggest to create a homebrew recipe to
facilitate the installation and update of the latest LyX? At least for
me, I would likely use (and update) it regularly  as it is no hassle
at all (in contrast to downloading and installing, or even compiling
first.

Cheers,

Rainer

Thanks, Andrew,

I am on Debian (Linux). My assumption that the strange appearance 
(see my screen shot of the upper left LyX menu bar) was a result of 
the lyxpipe warning was wrong, since I do not get this anymore. However, 
the strange appearance is found whenever I start LyX.
If it does not interfere with my working with LyX, I don't mind. But its 
strange...

This strange double-wheel adding to the upper left corner of the LyX frame  
is completely independent of the lyx files and themes I load.

This looks like the old bug about new toolbars showing up at weird 
places. I think this is will go away with a clean session. Try removing 
~/.config/LyX/lyx.conf (or a different name if LyX was built with 
version suffix).

Yes, after renaming lyx.conf to lyx.conf.x the weird toolbar disappeared. 
However, even after reconfigure no new  lyx.conf was created. Might come 
after rebooting?

It should be created when quitting LyX. This is the place that stores 
toolbar positions, window size and other GUI-related things.

Book Frontmatter

[Rich Shepard]

  Has anyone prepared all the normal front-matter for a book that will be
printed? I'm preparing a book to be provided students in a short course that
I'll be offering and will have them printed and bound by a small-run
printer.

  I know there's a title page, half-title page, and others whose names I do
not know. I'm looking for guidelines on what should be included in a
complete PDF file and just how to prepare all this using the KOMA-script
book class.

TIA,

Rich

Acknowledgements, dedication, title page, copyright page, about the
author, table of contents, and sometimes "how to use this book" or
"about this book."

Those are the ones I can think of, standing on one foot. I'd suggest a
trip to the bookstore, take 4 or 5 books from your approximate genre,
and look what they provide in the frontmatter, and how they do it. For
instance, I personally don't provide a brand new page for each one.

One more thing: In the old days I recommended ERT fingerpainting the
frontmatter. Due to the advent of flowing text eBook formats like ePub
and Mobi, I no longer make that recommendation, because doing so is the
kiss of death when converting to flowing text. Instead, I recommend
making new styles for each appearance in the frontmatter. I personally
don't use chapters for the title page, acknowledgements, etc, because
chapters are a special thing used in the mainmatter. I just make new
environments for acks and deds and title page and the like.

  This will not be an eBook; it will be printed and bound for each student

One never knows when something will get popular and demanded in ePub or
Kindle format. By doing styles-based authoring, even in the
frontmatter, you leave the door to do that open.

Hi Rich,
I would normally defer to Steve on most of these questions, but I do
think that a printed book has a more or less standard set of frontmatter
pages. 

In my little (and mostly outdated) book 'Self-publishing with LyX', I
discuss the ordinary frontmatter pages and how they might be set up with
the ordinary book class.

Alan,

  As Stafano pointed out to me in an off-list message, the Chicago Manual of
Style has (in my copy of the 15th Edition) Appendix A on design and
producion which runs 54 pages. :-) And I'll be working the Gorham Publishers
in Centralia, WA (that's Washington state, not Western Australia) who will
likely have their standards, too.

Thanks,

Rich

but it's not working for me. Perhaps it's the position in the text?

  The sequence is:

  1) Title
  2) Author
  3) \uppertitleback{}
  4) \pagenumbering{roman}
 \setcounter{page}{1}
 \pagestyle{headings}
  5) Table of Contents
  6) Lists of Figures
  7) Lists of Tables
  8) \mainmatter
 \thispagestyle{empty}
 \pagestyle{empty}
  9) Part 1.
Background (in the Part environment)

  The list of tables ends on page vii. The next page is blank, then Part 1 
Background is numbered 1, followed by a blank page and the first page of

Chapter 1 which also is numbered 1. I want no page number on the 'Part'
page.

  What have I missed here?

Alan,

  As Stafano pointed out to me in an off-list message, the Chicago 
Manual of

Style has (in my copy of the 15th Edition) Appendix A on design and
producion which runs 54 pages. :-) And I'll be working the Gorham 
Publishers
in Centralia, WA (that's Washington state, not Western Australia) who 
will

likely have their standards, too.


I guess the CMS will address 'Brevity' in the second volume :-).

Anyway, I agree with Steve that it is worth the time to set up styles 
for each aspect of the frontmatter.


I've heard of WA. Isn't there some sort of software company there?

Cheers,
Alan


Thanks,

Rich

Hola Anibal,

No pude ver el imagen que adjuntaste.

Hay que exportar antes de poder ver en pdf. Lo exportaste? Si no, haz
clic en el icono de los ojos o haz Archivo > Exportar.

Por favor responda a la lista si tienes otra duda. Es mas probable que
recibas ayuda si escribes en inglés.
