OD conversions

[gordon cooper]

"In Lyx 2.2.0,  Documents tab, there is the option to view
Open Document (elyxer)

An error?  Selecting this certainly does a conversion, the heading says 
.odt, but the converted file does not look like open doc format, and 
if the file is saved, it saves as an html, which is what I would expect 
from an elyxer conversion. "



I wrote the above a few days ago, but do not seem to have triggered
any comment. There is more to it, I see. In that same menu is
the option to view as MS Word - but the file looks like html and saves
as html.

Am I being mislead?

I can answer my own question:
If I start tlmgr from the terminal with:
tlmgr gui -font "helvetica 12" 
then tlmgr opens with a usable size font, and all is well.

This is a bit off the main line of this thread, but maybe someone
will be able to help--
I had installed TLMGR following the discussion here, and it
installed without a problem.  When I ran it, nothing happened, but
.   after I installed perl-tk and ran it again, the tlmgr gui
opened  up. However, on my Yoga 2 Pro HiDPI screen the gui was
useless-- everything is so tiny that I cannot read anything.  I
could not find preferences in the tlmgr menus-- does anyone know how
to make the tlmgr gui is usable with a high-resolution (3200X1800)
screen?
Thans,

forthcoming installation of Lyx 2.2

[Michael Berger]

Hi all,
I have Mageia5 / KDE and just succeeded to install texlive2016.
The next challenge is to install Lyx 2.2 from http://www.lyx.org/Download

i am addressing those of you who already successfully did this.

Is there anything to be observed/prepared/considered prior to starting 
the installation?

Currently no Lyx version is installed.
Following Miguel's advice I will enter the PATH to texlive2016 in the 
Prefix field of LyX's Preferences dialogue.


Thanks and Cheers
Michael

Something like this in the preamble might work:

\usepackage{endnotes}
\let\oldfoot=\footnote
\renewcommand\footnote[1]{\oldfoot{#1}\stepcounter{endnote}\endnotetext{#1}}

Then you don't have to do anything manually in the text.

Thanks Kornel,
I have 'perl-tk 'installed  but 'libgtk2-perl' is not found in Mageia's
software manager.

Sorry, I cannot help here.


Somebody in a forum suggested that 'libxft-dev' was needed and I just
installed it.

This is a devel package, I don't see how this could help.

I would try to call 'tlmgr gui'. The possibly error messages may help to 
identify
missing perl packages.


Could I do a second installation

# ./install-tl -gui

over the first one without having to remove anything?

Why not. In a worst case you will have to remove anyway.

Re: module for footnotes as both footnotes and endnotes

[Lucas]

Everyone can disregard my off-topic question, as I've now worked around it
(however imperfectly) by labeling the entries of interest and using
references to the pages of the labels in a manually-structured
(non-)index.  I decided to take that route in the end because the person
I'm helping format this for, independently, manually, created an index
format that's grouped by subject so that alphabetically indexing wouldn't
have worked anyway.


Thanks for your immediate, experienced, & helpful support Richard,

You basically did what I was planning.
But then you also added some very interesting extras that I was not
aware of and nobody before had mentioned.

A have one single question though re 'Preferences-PATH'.
Do you refer to the LyX Preferences Menu Tools > Preferences > Paths and
then write into PATH prefix ?

Of course I will revert to you after the work is done. However, I might
come up with more questions if something should go wrong ;-)

how to achieve that.

This is my (very innocent) plan:

- then install Lyx 2.2.0 from http://www.lyx/org/download

If so, please also advise what else needs to be observed/added/done
