Re: Evince as default viewer

Sorry for not replying, but was kind of busy.

Attached you can see both the lyxrc.default file and the preferences 
menu. In the first one, qpdfview is setup by default, while on the 
second there is no way to setup evince as default.


As I have read in the thread, the advice is to edit the lyxrc.default, 
changing qpdfview with evince. Nevertheless, this solution does not 
allow me to understand why this happened and why it cannot be changed 
from the preferences menu.


I will wait for your comments before proceeding.

Julio:

The answer to the second question is that you are looking at the wrong 
file format in the preferences menu. This is showing "*LaTeX* 
(pdflatex)", which is the .tex source code file that will be compiled 
into your document. Since LaTeX source files are plain text, the menu is 
showing the installed programs suitable for viewing text files.


If you switch the Format entry to "*PDF* (pdflatex)", the Viewer menu 
should show you appropriate programs for viewing PDF files (hopefully 
including Evince).

Short of modifying the source code, no, there's no way to customize
this. But you can of course patch the source for your own purposes if
you wish. The routine in question is Text::getPossibleLabel, in Text.cpp.

It probably would not be that hard to add preferences to control length
and what spaces get replaced with, though we're sometimes reluctant to
add too many preferences

LyX Cross-reference Label Default Content Inquiry

[Joel Kulesza]

Colleagues:

Is there a mechanism for modifying how Insert -> Labels are automatically
populated?

It appears to populate with the name of the associated entity, with spaces
changed to dashes, up to a certain character limit.

Can this character limit be raised?  Can the space->dash conversion be
modified?

My ultimate goal is to provide more context in the labels themselves
(mostly through NOT truncating them).  I usually just copy/paste the
associated information of the default label; however, it would be
convenient if something like this outcome could be made automatic.  That
said, I'm glad the clickable UI element is truncated...

My apologies if such functionality is there and I've overlooked it (e.g.,
Section 6.1 of the User's Guide).

Thank you,
Joel

You could download and compile from http://pyxplot.org.uk/download.html

never change a running system!!
this is what happened:
root@wolfgang-Mr-Whisper-Ultra-SSD-II:/home/we/pyxplot-0.9.2# ./configure
Checking for latex . NO
ERROR: Required program latex could not be found.
Will see whether Paul's help will work

Wolfgang, if you are working as root you have to set the PATH too.

But why do you do this when calling configure?

Kornel
I thought I had to be root to be able to put the prg at the appropriate 
place in the linux tree. After configure I run make and make install as 
root and now pyxplot is working fine. Thanks all who helped,

Wolfgang
