I see. Indeed I haven't used those types of previews so I have not come
across this issue.

What is a specific example of a content change that you're thinking of?


A cross reference to an enumerate number or a description label.

How can I define the system-dir?

You have it set.
To set different (say e.g. new_sys_dir) systemdir you have to use command-line
argumets.
$ lyx -sysdir new_sys_dir


You´ll find attached two pdf-files: "Converter" and "Systemverzeichnis"
Does this help along?

Not really. We need the output of the python-command and of the configure
output, which you may find in ~/AppData/Roaming/Lyx2.3/configure.log.

In Andreas log file it is apparently this (>>)which causes the error:
DEBUG: Add to RC:
\Format lyxzip zip    "LyX Archive (zip)" "" "" "" 
"document,menu=export"    ""


DEBUG: Add to RC:
>> *\converter lyx lyxzip "python -tt $$s/scripts/lyxpak.py $$r/$$f" ""*

I found in the internet only this one, which is 5 years old and before 
the export archiving was introduced:


https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/72913/lyx-export-suitable-for-journal-publication

Any idea what is missing (Lyx 3.0 under windows)

Force previews to update

[racoon]

I think the (instant) preview function (Insert > Preview) is really 
nice. In particular for the readability of references in a text. 
However, I noticed that I rarely use it. I think this has to do with the 
fact that LyX does not automatically update those when their content 
changes.


And I see why to have this done automatically is a bit tricky. I guess 
LyX would have to compare the current preview with a newly created 
preview when the document changes which in turn takes too much resources?


However, the next best thing would probably be a function to update all 
previews, maybe Document > Update > Instant Previews or so? There is no 
such thing if I see it correctly.

Re: Windows users: can you test the 2.3.0 installer?

I certainly did not update manually Miktex during the bundle3 
installation. Read again my messages,


You wrote
"To test this new installation program, I let the Miktex update run. I 
have no idea what has been updated, but what's for sure is that the 
compilations with LyX don't work anymore now ! "


This is what I don't understand. How could you decide to let the update 
run on your own?


I realize now that you installed LyX 2.3.0 the first time using version 
1 of the LyX installer. This can explain the problems you saw. I tested 
this now but cannot reproduce.


Could you please maybe do me the favor and
- uninstall LyX and MiKTeX _completely_
- reinstall LyX using the 2.3.0 RC1/ installer (if you still have it on 
your PC)

- install LyX 2.3.0 over it using the version 3 installer.

I finally manage later to recover a working Miktex via the installation 
of a new package.


This what i also don't understand. if MiKTeX is broken, you can try 
whatever you want. Updates cannot be installed and a package 
installation doesn't repair MiKTeX. There must have happened something 
else. Because when a package update succeeds and you can use LyX 
afterwards, then it could only happen that the package file name 
database was incomplete.

However, I cannot reproduce this.
Meanwhile MiKTeX released 3 important bugfixes to its package handling 
system. I hope that they are available tomorrow for all users.

I might have misunderstood something, but I think it is exactly version
3 of the installer that caused Emile's problems.


He manually updated MiKTeX and that breaks it (as I explained due to a 
bug in MiKTeX). Installing version 3 of the installer will fix this. I 
asked him to test this since I am too very curious if this works.


Emile, what is the result?
