LyX/Mac 1.4.4 Released
Hi Bennett, many thanks for providing the new files. However, after I installed them, I found that (at least the PPC version) is still LyX 1.4.3. After initial confusion I checked the binary contained in the .dmg file, and it gives 1.4.3 as the LyX version. So some error must have occured on the way... Looking forward to the new new version ;-) Andreas -- Dr. Andreas Busch[EMAIL PROTECTED] Reader in European Politics, and Course Director, MPhil in European Politics and Society, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford Fellow and Tutor in PoliticsTel. +44-(0)1865-279 451 (direct) Hertford CollegeFax +44-(0)1865-279 437 Oxford OX1 3BW, United Kingdom Homepage: http://users.ox.ac.uk/~busch Weblog: http://politicsofprivacy.blogspot.com

Fwd: LyX/Mac-1.4.2 binary user interface question

Installing LyX 1.4 parallel to earlier version?
Hi -- and congratulations to the development team for finishing LyX 1.4! I am eager to try it out and have done so on one machine, but on my production machine I am hesitant to take risks. So my question is: is it possible to install LyX 1.4 besides an older version (I am currently using 1.3.6)? The installer seems to move the old user's directory. But I assume that if I copy that before and then reinstate it, my old LyX version should run as before? Any enlightening help is greatly appreciated!

LyX/Mac Spotlight Importer Available
Hi Bennett, thanks for making this available -- greatly appreciated and much needed. I installed it and tried it, but, alas, it doesn't seem to work, not even after logging out and logging in again. The way I tested it was to think of a word that so far was not on my harddisk, type it into a new LyX document, and save that. Using Spotlight afterwards should have produced a pointer to that file, but did not. When I exported the file in question as ASCII, Spotlight immediately found the word in that file. Any suggestions on where I might have gone wrong? Here is the output of the mdimport command (in case that is of any help, but it looks normal to me): nsdhcp209:~ mdimport -r /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Library/ Spotlight/LyX-Metadata.mdimporter/ 2005-08-30 16:01:53.437 mdimport[4291] Asking server to reimport files with UTIs: (dyn.ah62d4rv4gk8y8xc3pa, org.lyx.lyx, dyn.ah62d4rv4ge8028p2) nsdhcp209:~ By the way, the Spotlight looking glass symbol in the upper right hand corner of the screen did not indicate that Spotlight was indexing anything -- I don't know whether it is supposed to, but you seemed to hint at it.

LyX/Mac Spotlight Importer Available
Sorry, me again, I found another problem: the Lyx Spotlight importer does not process German umlauts correctly (didn't try any other fancy characters). If the word you wrote in LyX contains an umlaut (say a ü), and you search for it, then there is no hit.

LyX/Mac Spotlight Importer Available
Hi Bennett, thanks for making this available -- greatly appreciated and much needed. I installed it and tried it, but, alas, it doesn't seem to work, not even after logging out and logging in again. The way I tested it was to think of a word that so far was not on my harddisk, type it into a new LyX document, and save that. Using Spotlight afterwards should have produced a pointer to that file, but did not. When I exported the file in question as ASCII, Spotlight immediately found the word in that file. Any suggestions on where I might have gone wrong? Here is the output of the mdimport command (in case that is of any help, but it looks normal to me): nsdhcp209:~ mdimport -r /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Library/ Spotlight/LyX-Metadata.mdimporter/ 2005-08-30 16:01:53.437 mdimport[4291] Asking server to reimport files with UTIs: (dyn.ah62d4rv4gk8y8xc3pa, org.lyx.lyx, dyn.ah62d4rv4ge8028p2) nsdhcp209:~ By the way, the Spotlight looking glass symbol in the upper right hand corner of the screen did not indicate that Spotlight was indexing anything -- I don't know whether it is supposed to, but you seemed to hint at it.

Sorry, me again, I found another problem: the Lyx Spotlight importer does not process German umlauts correctly (didn't try any other fancy characters). If the word you wrote in LyX contains an umlaut (say a ü), and you search for it, then there is no hit.

Keyboard question: i with two dots?
Hi,
sorry for the silly question, but perhaps someone knows an easy
answer. I've been searching the web, but so far to no avail.
How do you call the i with two dots, and how can I enter in into
LyX?
In LaTeX, it would be \{\i} (in case that helps...) ;-)
Of course, I could use ERT in LyX, but it would be more fun if i
could convince my XWindows to do it directly via keyboard...
Many thanks,
Andreas

Problem with local natbib configuration
Hi,
I am happily using LyX 1.2.1, but have encountered a problem with
the integration of natbib for citations.
Since standards for citing literature are different when writing in
German, I include a \bibpunct[: ]{}{}{,}{a}{}{,~} command in the
LaTeX preamble in LyX.
Doing this, however, seems to break natbib support in LyX 1.2.1. (I
seem to remember that it worked in 1.2.0, but cannot confirm, as I
have deleted that version from my laptop...) The different ways of
citing (\citet and \citep) do no longer work.
Or is that just a local installation issue, and things are working
properly, even with modified \bibpunct, elsewhere?
Thanks for any input,
best wishes

Strange problem with 1.2.1 -- menubar entries vanish
Hi, as soon as I discovered the sources of version 1.2.1 on the FTP server yesterday, I transferred them to my PC and started the install process. Since I have versions 1.1.6fix1 and 1.2.0 also on my machine, I configured with --with-version-suffix, and everything went fine. After checking the new version briefly with src/lyx, I proceeded to install it with make install. As a test, I wrote a brief letter, and everything worked fine. However, problems occurred after a further step. I am currently preparing a major book manuscript for publication, and I wanted to check and compare the results of exporting it to pdf from each of the installed versions of LyX (because of the new handling of graphics formats). So I started up versions 1.1.6fix1 after having exported it with 1.2.1. When I restarted 1.2.1 after that, only one entry was left in the menubar (namely File -- normally, there are three entries: File, Edit and Help). Even after loading a file, only three entries appear in the menubar: File, Edit and Documents, and a number of the entries in the respective menues are missing. File, for example, only contains New..., Open..., Import and Exit. I thought something had gone wrong, and started a new compile of the program. But the result, much to my amazement, was the same: when starting the newly compiled program, the symptoms persisted. Then I deleted the whole directory, downloaded the sources afresh from the FTP server, recompiled, and hoped that whatever the reason for this strange behaviour was, it would now be gone. But far from it. Still, when I start up 1.2.1, the menubar entries are missing as described above. The same is true if I start version 1.2.0. Only 1.1.6fix1 still works with all menu entries. Can anybody on the list imagine what has gone wrong, and how I can fix this? I'd be much obliged!

1.2.0: -geometry option does not work
Hi, I compiled and installed LyX 1.2.0 yesterday and discovered that my usual way of starting it with the -geometry option no longer works. Is this a bug or a feature?

1.2.0 and the LaTeX preamble
Hi,
in LyX 1.2.0, the default layout is now saved via the Document
dialogue. Apparently, it is no longer possible to save a default
LaTeX preamble with it -- I tried, it is not saved.
While most things I used to put there (like \usepackage{ae}
and \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}) can now be done via the Document
dialogue, others can not -- for example parameters for the newly
supported natbib package (like \bibpunct[: ]{}{}{,}{a}{}{,~}
or \setlength{\bibhang}{2em}).
Any ideas how I can save these parameters so that they get put into
each new document in 1.2.0?
Many thanks for any hints and suggestions,
Andreas

LyX: complaints about not finding .sty file
Hi, I encountered a strange problem today -- and I couldn't fix it (only with an unsatisfactory workaround). In a nutshell: LyX complains about not finding a file (actually it complains that LaTeX complains about not finding it...). But the style file that it cannot find is in a valid directory that is being updated when I rund texhash (namely ~/texmf). How can I fix that, or is it a bug in LyX?

Upgrading to 1.1.5: some problems and questions
Hi, yesterday I took the time to upgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.1.5fix1. There are three problems / questions that I have now. 1. As announced in the release notes, 1.1.5 is apparently more picky about mistakes. I use the "booktabs" package for typographically nicer tables. The package requires to insert "\toprule" and "\bottomrule" in ERT at the beginning and end respectively of each table. In a file which gave no problems with LyX 1.1.2, I now have error messages, and as a consequence, have to remove the "\toprule" and "\bottomrule" inserts to get LaTeX to compile the text properly. The text of the latex error message is: "misplaced \noalign \toprule. I expect to see \noalign only after the \cr of an alignment. Proceed, and I'll ignore this case" How can I tell Latex to proceed? I would dearly like to have my beautiful tables back... 2. Apparently due to some mistake, the localisation does not work correctly. Although I get the German documentation in the Help menu, the text of the menus is in English. I downloaded lyx115.mo from Peter Suetterlin's site and installed it as described on his LyX page, but to no avail. Perhaps things have changed in the 1.1.5fix1 release? Any help appreciated. 3. A last, cosmetic thing. It seems to me that the red colour that is used to denote footnotes, ERT and other inserts in LyX text has changed and is now slightly darker and thus - at least to me - less visible. Is there a place to configure the precise colour that is used here? I checked the documentation, but could not find anything about it. Many thanks for any help!

Problem w/ language of interface after update
Dear list members, I compiled LyX 1.1.2 successfully a few days ago and installed it to replace the 1.0.1 version that came with my SuSE Linux 6.2. Since that time, however, the language of the interface (menues, dialogue boxes etc.) has changed from German to English. What did I do wrong: is there a switch I have to use when compiling the program, or is there another way to change back to a German interface without having to recompile LyX?

References across multi-part documents?
Hi,
is there a way to insert cross-references which span different parts of a
multi-part document? I am writing a book which presently consists of a
"book.lyx" file which includes several "part_{1..4}.lyx" files.
I would like to refer in the "part_1.lyx" file to a marker I set in the
"part_4.lyx" file, but cannot do so for the marker is not visible in the
dialogue box.
No mention of this issue is made in the documentation, as far as I can
see.
So, is it possible to do it? If not, that would greatly deminish the value of
the multi-part document option.
I hope there is an ingenious way to do it...
BTW, I am using LyX 1.0.1 under both Linux and OS/2.
Thanks for any help,
Andreas

Problem with RCS in LyX 1.0.1
Hi, I am using LyX 1.0.1 under OS/2 (XFree86). Today I installed the revision control system RCS. LyX is supposed to support it, and so I went on to try it. I selected the Registration... option from the menu and registered my file. It was duly put into the /RCS/ directory and the version on my screen was write protected. However, the menu options did not change. Under the respective option on the drop down menu (I am using the German version and thus don't want to confuse you by mis-translating them into English), "Registration..." is still the only option. It is neither greyed out (as it should be after registration has taken place), nor are the any other options visible. I can therefore not commit any changes to version control or create a working copy that I can revise. If I look at the /RCS/ directory, there is a file with the RCS info in it, and if I use a commandline and issue an "rlog" command, the following output appears which looks correct: [E:\]rlog D:\exchange\BibTeX_Notizen.lyx RCS file: D:\exchange\RCS/BibTeX_Notizen.lyx Working file: D:\exchange\BibTeX_Notizen.lyx head: 1.1 branch: locks: strict access list: symbolic names: keyword substitution: kv total revisions: 1; selected revisions: 1 description: Notizen und Konventionen zu BibTeX revision 1.1 date: 1999/05/21 18:53:16; author: abusch; state: Exp; Initial revision Is this a known bug?

Under the respective option on the drop down menu (I am using the German version and thus don't want to confuse you by mis-translating them into English), "Registration..." is still the only option. It is neither greyed out (as it should be after registration has taken place), nor are the any other options visible. I can therefore not commit any changes to version control or create a working copy that I can revise. If I look at the /RCS/ directory, there is a file with the RCS info in it, and if I use a commandline and issue an "rlog" command, the following output appears which looks correct: [E:\]rlog D:\exchange\BibTeX_Notizen.lyx RCS file: D:\exchange\RCS/BibTeX_Notizen.lyx Working file: D:\exchange\BibTeX_Notizen.lyx head: 1.1 branch: locks: strict access list: symbolic names: keyword substitution: kv total revisions: 1; selected revisions: 1 description: Notizen und Konventionen zu BibTeX revision 1.1 date: 1999/05/21 18:53:16; author: abusch; state: Exp; Initial revision Is this a known bug? I couldn't find anything about it in the documentation. Is it OS/2 specific? Is it a problem with the German menus? I'd be grateful for any ideas.
