I've needed both those things for 20 years. Thank you!!!
If I understand your situation, you already know how to do what you
need in LaTeX, and then make LyX commands and environments to make it
accessible in LyX, and now you're trying to see if there's a native LyX
way to do it. Being less than a newbie when it comes to nomenclatures,
and not understanding *exactly* what you're looking to do, I did a quick
look and found stuff you probably already know about, but just in case I
found something new, here it is:
The LyX functions manual has the following:
* dialog-show appears to take a nomenclature argument
* Ditto with inset-insert
* There's a nomencl-insert command
* There's a nomencl-print command
The Additional LyX Features manual contains the following sentence:
There is at present no support for glossaries. Adding it would
be fairly trivial, and welcome.
The User's Guide contains a special environment called Verbatim, which
can contain "index- and nomenclature entries".
The Embedded Objects manual contains nothing about Nomenclature
The User Guide contains a section on using Nomenclature/Glossary.
As you already mentioned, when I search CTAN for "nomenclature", I get
8 results.
===
One happy prospect I see is that it can be done in LaTeX, and the
Additional Features manual seems to say it's needed and would be easy to
implement in LyX. If there's no other way, you could implement it in
LyX, thereby solving your problem and also getting a tickertape parade
from the LyX community. I think you're already better at LaTeX than I,
but if you need some assistance, perhaps I could provide some.

Re: SOLVED add appendix to a chapter >>> not quite!!

Thanks to all who helped me with the appendix to a chapter.
The following link
https://github.com/scottkosty/lyx-princeton-diss
allows to download the scottkosty /lyx-princeton-diss
(use the green box "code")
The trick is to put (by using the \usepackage{appendix} in the preamble
behind the place where one wants to insert the subappendix/ces (here
chapter 3) the following (as an example):
\begin{subappendices}
Appendix
3.4.1 First appendix of Chapter 3
3.4.2 Second appendix of Chapter 3
\end{subappendices}
I modified it to get the appendix in a section, not chapter by changing
the nesting depth of the item and changed to appendix of section 3
Works nicely.
Wolfgang
Unfortunately the next section (which is in my case 3.5) is renumbered
to 3.1
too bad!!!
\setcounter{section}{3.5} (in tex)
before section 3.5 does not help either.

tiny vs smallest
Hello, Tiny is too small and smallest is too large (in graphic mode). Can I set an intermediary size?
