LyX's not using the system programs. LyX has the code for the available spell

  In ~/.lyx/pwl_english.dict are the words that I've added, including those
 in the current document. So they are present, but each time I finish a

 either; I need to tell it to ignore each instance of the same word which is
 in the dict file.

Are you able to provide a minimal working example file? I'd like to have a
LyX document and the pwl_english.dict file.

Stephan,

  As this issue appeared only with the upgrade to the current version I will
see if it disappears with the next upgrade. I've been using lyx for more
than a decade and this has not before been an issue.

  And, I've no idea if a new, sample document would behave the same way.

Re: Templates from LyX-207-Bundle-3 Windows Installer

[Alex Vergara Gil]

Dear José
As you I don´t have full internet conection, but LyX works very well if you 
manage to install miktex correctly in your system, mainly miktex 2.9 which 
is the last version I have works as a charm.


Greetings and good luck

Hi:
I don’t have the possibility of a full internet connection, so with some 
help, I reached the LyX-207-Bundle-3 installer for Windows. Install perfect. 
All great until I try to open some templates from File/New from Template 
(see “ 0 showing_templates.png”). Sadly many templates from this collection 
shows “errors” with missing dependencies that needs to be downloaded from 
internet (see “1 Show_error.png”). This problem don’t happen with Lyx on 
Ubuntu 12.04, where it seems that all dependencies are downloading 
automatically from the OS repositories during the installation process.


¿What is the possibility to fix this for people like me who has not full 
connection to the internet from Windows?

Re: Help Installing a .cls file in LyX 2.0.7 (with MikTeX 2.9.4533)

I installed it the same way I did for the previous files. It still

The class file is the LaTeX half of the equation. To be able to use it, 
LyX also needs a layout file for it. This is basically a file that 
tells LyX what resources the class file provides. (It is really not 
possible for LyX to parse the class file and figure this out for 
itself.) The problem, then, is that there is no layout file for asme2e.


Just glancing through the file, it looks to me like a pretty standard 
sort of article class. So it will probably be usable, if not perfect, 
with the layout file I am attaching. This file should be put in the 
directory $USERDIR/layouts/. You can find your user directory by looking 
at HelpAbout LyX. Once you have put the layout file there, you will 
need to reconfigure LyX by going to ToolsReconfigure, and then restarting.


As I said, this should work to some extent, but it will need tweaking. 
Please see Chapter 5 of the Customization manual for how to do that. If 
you get it working well, let us know, and we can consider including it 
in future LyX versions.

Re: 2 questions about new preference features

[Itai Shaked]

I don't know what 1 is used for. I also don't know what 2 was originally
meant for, but one use case in which I can see it being useful is when
working on a document with children.
Currently (version 2.0.6) when you close a parent document all of it's
children are automatically closed as well, although it may be more
convenient to work on some of the child documents without changing anything
in the parent document (thus you wouldn't want it to waste tab space).
This is different (I hope) from opening the child on it's own, because when
the parent is open you can see all references macros etc. defined in the
parent or in it's other children.

I have recently been working on a project in which there was a parent
document which only contained the framework of a book and included a macros
file and the other content as children, and most of the time I only worked
on one or more of it's children. Having it open but not showing could have
been useful in that case.

It is used in all length combos as the default, if the object in question
