Re: ! Package pdftex.def Error: File not found.
Dear Stephan,
apologies for spelling your name incorrectly in the last message and thank
you for your reply.
You asked me to: enable the Message pane and select the log messages
related to file and graphics processing, try the preview again and post the
resulting output here.
In the settings of the Message pane I enabled Files used by LyX and
Graphics conversion and loading as I thought they were the nearest
interpretations of your request.
I tried the preview again and the error occurred again, here is the output
copied from the Message pane...

My workaround is to convert the SVG into PDF format externally and use

Hi Ed,
it would be good to have a small LyX file + SVG file demonstrating the
problem.
The LyX file shouldn't contain any stuff not needed to produce the error.
See http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample for an explanation why and how
to do it.
Thanks.

LyX overwrite
Is there a way to get LyX to default to overwrite files when exporting rather than throw up a dialog box that can get lost under other windows? I looked a bit but never found that option. Thanks!

Re: Books in LyX: Was How to import separate chapters into document?
1. I've seen your web site, Steve, and I must say it's a remarkable body of work and a great resource! 2. I think I'm going to be closer to Rich in the ebooks I write. I'll take the defaults whenever possible. I do a lot with the latex-beamer package, but I also use the R - LyX Sweave interface. But you do need to know LaTeX to figure out what's broken when you do a view PDF and get a cryptic error message out of pdftex. Fortunately, LyX gives you a blue highlight close to where the problem is. 3. I do find LyX / latex-beamer frustrating, though. Till Tantau, who wrote latex-beamer and also the pgf / tkiz tool set, has made some absolutely stunning lecture notes with these tools. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to make my own presentations that beautiful, even though I've read the manuals and looked at the code. In any event, the tools *are* there. 4. There are instructions in the LyX documentation on how to do a modular document by including sub-documents. The projects I've done so far haven't needed that, but I'm starting a big one that will need that. -- M. Edward (Ed) Borasky http://www.linkedin.com/in/edborasky I've never met a happy clam.

LyX presentation editing-
LyX does fairly well editing traditional article / book type documents, but I think it could be improved for presentations using beamer or powerdot. Maybe these things can be done currently from LyX: Single frame view. Now LyX continuously puts the text in slide after slide. When I hit PgDn I want to see the next slide with the title at the top and just the stuff for that slide, not the next. Slide sorter view. You often need to easily cut and paste sections of a talk or move slides around. Seeing all your slides rendered at 33% or 50% size where you can drag them around would be great. Currently, you have to be very careful to cut and past w whole slide due to the way LyX handles sections (losing frame type, changing text to some other type, etc) Animation editor. Beamer and powerdot require a goodly amount of ERT or hacks to get animations. There has to be a better way than ERT for this. Maybe just a special section type like Itemize (Animate)? Additional graphics overlay. Maybe you want to add a circle around something important. Or have text appear and an arrow to highlight something. You can do this with lots of ERT, but presentations for most people are not a coding exercise. Outline / section editing. The sectioning is great for beamer and powerdot to have organized presentations, but you get these odball section and subsection titles hanging out between frames. I have thought about trying to hack something together that would emulate this. Maybe crop the lyx file into individual slides per page and put each one in a tab, export each slide and convert to jpg for a slide sorter window, use that jpg for some simple graphics editor to help get code for drawing simple shapes or text or arrows at arbitrary positions? Am I nuts? I have used LyX for years and finally I think am starting to move to using it for presentations. I have templates for both beamer and powerdot working (but not eps movie animations, waiting on a animate fix). I can deal with limitations, but some of these things would make it a better package. Or maybe I should try out OO Impress? I am moving away from ppt since they still can't support eps properly and the new interface is horrendous. All I really need is vector graphics, decent equations, simple animations and a decent editor. -- Ed Gatzke, Associate Professor Department of Chemical Engineering, University of South Carolina Swearingen Engineering Center, Office 3C19, Columbia, SC 29208 NOTE: On sabbatical in Germany until July, 2009

Bibliography + Citation format Numerical to NatBib and back
hi, In the Document Settings... Under Bibliography... Should I be able to change the Citation Style from Default (Numerical) to Natbib without changing my citation references in my document? Or does one have to start a document with the type of style established before writing? When I switched from Numerical to Natbib, I needed to: i) change all my cited references (in the document), ii) delete and add the BibTeX Generated Bibliography again (and specified plainnat as the style) Also, I noticed in NatBib format, the Formatting for the Citation Style is different than the output (ie., the LyX presentation is correct but the pdf and dvi output is wrong)... I specified right and left paraenthesis as the style, but the pdf and dvi output put in right and left brackets Any way to force it to use right and left paraenthesis? Let me know if I am doing anything wrong or is this normal please.

The most recent BibTeX output style can be found here: http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyledetail.asp?SORT=0PAGE=3METH=0DISC=noneJOUR=noneBSRT=noneFF1=noneFF2=noneFF3=noneCITE=noneDKEY=714200664457JBA When I import it into LyX I point it to the exported .bib file but when I try to add a citation there are no records to choose from. Anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, I'm writing a thesis... using LyX 1.5.5.2 on Windows XP, using MikTeX 2.7 for some reason the output is all blank... it has the right number of pages but all output in the dvi viewer (Yap) is blank. It was working fine a minute ago... i was just editing stuff in LyX... and now there is no output the last time i corrected this I re-installed MiKTeK but this seems to be a bit extreme. Any suggestions are deeply appreciated !! Thanks, Ed Sykes

It seems to me that you don't have permissions to the folder or something similar. You can change this temp folder under Tools->Preferences->Paths->Temporary directory. Maybe to a folder you *know* you have permissions to. For instance mine by default is set to: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\ Windows seems to show strange behavior sometimes for no apparent reason. Cheers, /Bob

Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.4.3 is relelased
Terrrifc! Thanks to all the developers. Easy access on windows will be huge. Anybody report success installing over a 1.4.2 system on Windows? Any known issues? I assume you should back up your Documents and Setting/userid/Application Data/LyX1.4.x directory, just to make sure... Ed

Re: Continuous numbering of list items
is there any possibilities to prevent lyx from resetting the counter of
enumerated lists when several enumerated lists appear in different
sections? What I am looking for is the possibility to have a
continuously numerated list separated with section titles, i.e.:
a) Section a
1. List item #1
2. List item #2
3. List item #3
b) Section b
4. List item #4
5. List item #5
c) Section c
6. List item #6
7. List item #7
8. List item #8
...
If you just have a few items, you can use ERT LaTeX commands.
Put the following in ERT right after each enumeration and it will
overwrite the current number and keep the correct formatting: [4.]
No curly braces {}, just square brackets and the number in ERT.

Re: Wish, suggestion about templates
Lyx preferences allow to modify the default templates directory. Problem: I use 2 templates directories (zs I guess some people) 1 system wide (/usr/share/lyx/templates/) The whole template thing is a problem for me. I wish lyx had a nice way of adding class files and templates. I know latex has to do some magic for cls files, but it can be a pain, especially if you have multiple latex installs (as may be common on an XP box running lyx bundle and cygwin). A wizard or something to help with the overall template cls install may be nice, something more user friendly than the help files...

Re: Overwrite existing files
Can you click the Show Desktop icon (or type Win-D, where Win is the Windows key) to minimize everything, then click the LyX button in the task bar and get to the dialog? I can just as easily Alt-Tab to the Lyx window or click on the taskbar. It is an odd behavior to lose the error dialog under a window. It gets buried because I tell Lyx to export pdf then switch to another application. The error dialog takes a while to pop up and ends up under the other application. I tried putting something like rm -f $$o; ps2pdf $$i $$o in my lyxrc.defaults for ps conversion to pdf. This does not get executed like a normal bash command for me so it does not act like two separate commands. I tried writing a single shell script that would remove the pdf before calling ps2pdf but I now realize lyx is calling stuff in a sandbox /tmp directory and then movinig the file to the working directory. I see my script executing, but the pdf in the working directory never gets erased and I get the silly error dialog.

Overwrite existing files
Is there any way to turn off the dialog for export errors, for The file already exists, Overwrite? I select export and switch to another application, a few second later the error dialog get buried (on XP), and I can't even click the LyX window to get back to the application (you have to click the dialog or click in explorer.) Thanks! Ed

More class files by default
I have run into problems adding extra class files into my latex installation and getting them to work with lyx. (I know, install, run something to reconfigure latex, reconfigure lyx, but it is never smooth sailing for me) It may be nice to have a boatload installed by default or as an option. Some to consider include things like prosper (for pretty powerpoint slides) or some widely used professional styles (IEEE, IFAC, others). 1.4.2 already has .layout files for a lot of things that apparently did not get installed in the latex default package (or maybe 1.42 added more layouts that were not included in the 1.4.1 latex I am using). Why not have a install option for extended latex. I know originally they limited the extra stuff in LaTeX distributions, but the way HD space and bandwidth is now days, how much does an extra few MB cost us...
Re: More class files by default
You've probably done this already, but when you add a style or layout or anything to the /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ tree, run the texhash program. The couple of times I have done this, my latex'ing time quadrupled for some strange reason, so the performance hit was frustrating. One time dvis and fonts got fouled up as well. There are like three different ways listed to get classes added to latex, one involves setting a bunch of environment vars as well. There are two or three programs that can fix your paths when you make mods, so it is a bit screwy having option. There must be a crapload of cls files for journals and theses out there, but I can't see a large portion of them adding up to more than 5 - 10 MB, especially if you zip the text files initially. Give the user an option to pick the ones they want to install early on, then download them from a contrib site if you want. It is much easier to have the well-written installer handle it as opposed to idiot users like me mucking it all up later...
