open graphics inset with ctrl-i
Hi list, recently io changed to lyx-2.0.0 and am very content with it ;-) For my needs there is a little regression wrt to lyx-1.6.7: In lyx-1.6.7 it was possible to open a graphics inset with the keyborad shortcut ctrl+i when the text cursor was directly before the inset.

short cut for graphic inset ctl+i
Hi list, recently I upgraded from lyx-1.6.7 to lyx 2.0.0 and I'm very happy with the new version. With one small exception: I have a document which contains more than 70 images. I put them into the document using a bash-script. And now I have to modify some of these images individually. With 1.6.7 I could put the cursor before the image and with ctl+i pen the inset dialogue. This doesn't work any longer. New feature? Or what can I do to reactivate this functionality?

Underline in lyx-2.0.0
Hi list, I just installed lyx-2.0.0.0 beside lyx-1.6.7 as of July 10th 2010 (my working version for the last year). Everything I used so far is working quite well on documents I have created with lyx-1.6.7. Many thanks for your efforts which went into lyx-2.0. I'm working with lyx-2.0.0, generated from tarball which gives me the date of April, 29th 2011 on Xubuntu-10.10 In a document I'm actually working on I want to follow the man-pages format as closely as possible, thus I used some underlined strings. With lyx-1.6.7 it worked, with lyx-2.0.0.0 the textstyle submenu gives me the choice underlined but when compiling the document I get an error: Undefined control sequence. lyx-1.6.7 creates an '\underbar'-macro which works, lxy-2.0 creates an '\uline'-macro which produces this error. Can I do anything in this situation?

Hi Jack,
I had this problem for a while ,-(
Then I took a brute force approach:
I wrote a bash script which replaces the childs preamble by the masters
preamble (thanks to lyx' file format this is not a big deal ;-)
(I had the intention to port that bash-script to python but didn't have
the time ATM.)
For me that works very well.
The bash script is a dirty hack. If you are intereseted ask me personally.

kludge solution, if you know how deep your paths are:

\def\removeprefix#1{\expandafter\removeprefixx#1}
\removeprefix{\input@path}

Hi Julien,
thanks for your answer ;-)
I think I got the basic idea
BUT i Do NOT know the length the path delivered by \input@path.
To make clear what I'm looking for I put it in python code:
leo@sylhepta ~ $ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 15:52:39)
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> def shorten_path(path, len):
... return '/.../' + '/'.join(path.split('/')[-len:])
...
>>> shorten_path('/home/leo/leo/Test/abc',2)
'/.../Test/abc'
>>>
Can this be done in (La)TeX?
Thanks again and thanks to all others who contributed
Best regards
Hellmut

Hi list,
I have to add one aspect to the functionality I'm looking for:
Since I'm used to use directory names which contain underscores ('_') my
python code should read:
leo@sylhepta ~ $ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 15:52:39)
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> def shorten_path(path, len):
... return '/.../' + '/'.join(path.split(
'/')[-len:]).replace('_','\_')
...
>>> shorten_path('/home/leo/leo/Test_01/abc',2)
'/.../Test\_01/abc'
>>>
TIA and Best regards
Hellmut

LyX on xubuntu 10.10
Hi list, I'm using LyX 1.6.7 on xubuntu 10.10 and I'm as satisfied as for the roughly ten years I'm using LyX now. Actually I have a little problem: I like to have the path to the document at the end of my documents. So I've created a little python script giving me the end (because my file system tree is quite deep) of the path, accordingly I have defined an alias pdflatex="pdflatex -shell-escape" to permit the use of this script from within the latex source of my document. This doesn't work for lyx. I suppose lyx calls pdflatex using its absolute path. To find the place where this default is set I've been looking in ~/.lyx/preferences, /usr/share/lyx, ~/.config/Lyx, ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfig with no result. So, can somebody gice me a hint where the default paths for the converter calls are hidden? Similarly, I would like to use '.' as the default path for saving new lyx documents. Changing the corresponding setting in the menu >>tools >settings >paths >home (retranslated from my german version of lyx) I can change that location but the change is not remembered when I open lyx the next time. Any ideas on this?

LyX doesn't resolve shell aliases like your shell does.
This was already my suspicion and it's helpful to have it confirmed.
(I know that I have to export my document as latex source and then to
compile it again to get the correct directory ;-)
But Lyx refuses to do so and in the LaTeX protocoll I get the error message
runsystem(/home/H_Bin/fipwdcut 4 /tmp/shell.escape)...disabled
(restricted).
! LaTeX Error: File `/tmp/shell.escape' not found.
I tried to activate the shell-escape option of the pdflatex command in
the converters dialog for 'latex (pdflatex) - PDF (pdflatex)' changing
the additional flags to 'shell-escape' but this produces the same error
message as before.
Did you use 'shell-escape' or '-shell-escape'?
Actually I tried both of them
Anything else I can do?

As you can see, what it mostly does is just turn off two column, if we

I don't know if it would work, but you could try Insert TeX Code just
before the index, and fill this TeX Code box with
\thispagestyle{plain} or \thispagestyle{fancy}
If this doesn't work, you at least have some more keywords to try in
google.
Cheers,
Julien
Hi Julien,
thanks for your reply ;-)
You proposal helped me to pin down the effect somewhat more.
Since i'm using the koma scrlttr2 class i had to use the command
\thispagestyle{scrheadings} (which is used in my stye file for this
document too.
This doesn't solve my problem, though.
It seems that the LaTeX command \printindex{} which is generated by LyX
is the culprit.
I suppose it issues a command like \thispagestyle{empty} because it is
starting sort of a new chapter.
Exactly. The index is a chapter, like any other chapter. So it starts
with a chapter-start page. With koma-script, you can decide what a
chapter page should look like. And even better, you can select the style
for the index start page specifically. Try putting this in
your preamble, in order to have scrheadings on the index page:
\renewcommand{\indexpagestyle}{scrheadings}
Should work without further workarounds. view-pdf from LyX worked for
me with a test index.
\indexpagestyle can be set to any style that is supported by
\pagestyle and \thispagestyle. plain, scrheadings, and so on. The
latter also needs \usepackage{scrpage2}
See scrguien.pdf (comes with the latex koma-script packages) for more info.
Following this route i found a workaround. Her it is (in the hope that
may be helpful for somebody else)
* export my lyx file to LaTeX (pdflatex)
* run pdflatex from the command line on this a first time
(which generates an *.idx file)
* run makeindex on this file (without extension)
(which generates an *.ind file which will be input during the next
pdflatex run)
In my reply to your personal account i forgot the most important point
,-(
*** Edit the *.ind file ***
After the first line
\begin{theindex}
add the line
\thispagestyle{scrheadings}
* final run of pfdlatex on the *.tex source file
And here we are, the first page of the index has the desired header and
footer lines.
Happy LyXing
Hellmut
Hi Helge,
thanks for indicating the correct solution.
I'm using the koma script classes since years but didn't study the docu
in every detail.
Cheers

page of the index (at the end of my document) doesn't show any
header or
footer information (not even a pager number).
On the second page of the index the header and footer info appears
correctly.
What can I do to get the header and footer strings on the first page of
the index?
TIA and happy LyXing
Hellmut
I don't know if it would work, but you could try Insert TeX Code just
before the index, and fill this TeX Code box with
\thispagestyle{plain} or \thispagestyle{fancy}
If this doesn't work, you at least have some more keywords to try in
google.
Cheers,
Julien
Hi Julien,
thanks for your reply ;-)
You proposal helped me to pin down the effect somewhat more.
Since i'm using the koma scrlttr2 class i had to use the command
\thispagestyle{scrheadings} (which is used in my stye file for this
document too.
This doesn't solve my problem, though.
It seems that the LaTeX command \printindex{} which is generated by LyX
is the culprit.
I suppose it issues a command like \thispagestyle{empty} because it is
starting sort of a new chapter.
Exactly. The index is a chapter, like any other chapter. So it starts
with a chapter-start page. With koma-script, you can decide what a
chapter page should look like. And even better, you can select the style
for the index start page specifically. Try putting this in
your preamble, in order to have scrheadings on the index page:
\renewcommand{\indexpagestyle}{scrheadings}
Should work without further workarounds. view-pdf from LyX worked for
me with a test index.
\indexpagestyle can be set to any style that is supported by
\pagestyle and \thispagestyle. plain, scrheadings, and so on. The
latter also needs \usepackage{scrpage2}
See scrguien.pdf (comes with the latex koma-script packages) for more info.
Following this route i found a workaround. Her it is (in the hope that
may be helpful for somebody else)
* export my lyx file to LaTeX (pdflatex)
* run pdflatex from the command line on this a first time
(which generates an *.idx file)
* run makeindex on this file (without extension)
(which generates an *.ind file which will be input during the next
pdflatex run)
In my reply to your personal account i forgot the most important point
,-(
*** Edit the *.ind file ***
After the first line
\begin{theindex}
add the line
\thispagestyle{scrheadings}
* final run of pfdlatex on the *.tex source file
And here we are, the first page of the index has the desired header and
footer lines.
Happy LyXing
Hellmut
Hi Helge,
thanks for indicating the correct solution.
I'm using the koma script classes since years but didn't study the docu
in every detail.
Cheers

Re: texMemo layoutfile
Hi Rob, I'm sorry about that Hellmut, I've been using LyX 2.0 exclusively for months and I tend to forget that layou files and enhancements released for the newer versions will not always work with the old. Glad to hear that you got it working, though. I didn't dare so far, because LyX is my most important tool. Most of my work on the computer is preparing texts of different types. And for _all_ my documents I use LyX. (Having invested a bit of time in my personalized templates, in the majority of cases I don't have to think about the formal part of my document.) If you run into any other problems, please let me know. Also, if there are any feature enhancements you think would be worthwhile, that would also be good to hear.

If you are interested in the result I can send it to you when I have reached a state acceptable for me. Features which would be interesting for me (and maybe for somebody else): * I would like a cc: line in the header part Certainly simple to realize similar to the to/from parts * Permit a another placement of the logo e.g. in the upper left corner I've no experience yet with LyX insets, so ? * Permit some sort of textual logo (for people who know some LaTeX like me using different fonts, sizes, color, etc.) An elementary form could be an ERT block instead of the graphics inset but I don't have any idea how to do that in lyx * Offer fancy headers and footers (I'm somewhat compulsive wrt Author/Copyright and date on _every_ page of my documents, even memos ;-) Could probably be done on LaTeX level already in the preamble ? * Maybe using koma's scrartcl class would give more flexibility (as german LyX user I use it quite a lot) I thought about a document type of this sort already, but the need was not yet sufficiently strong.

Hi list,

I don't know if it would work, but you could try Insert TeX Code just
before the index, and fill this TeX Code box with
\thispagestyle{plain} or \thispagestyle{fancy}
If this doesn't work, you at least have some more keywords to try in
google.
Cheers,

Hi Julien,
thanks for your reply ;-)
You proposal helped me to pin down the effect somewhat more.
Since i'm using the koma scrlttr2 class i had to use the command
\thispagestyle{scrheadings} (which is used in my stye file for this
document too.
This doesn't solve my problem, though.
It seems that the LaTeX command \printindex{} which is generated by LyX
is the culprit.
I suppose it issues a command like \thispagestyle{empty} because it is
starting sort of a new chapter.
Following this route i found a workaround. Her it is (in the hope that
may be helpful for somebody else)
* export my lyx file to LaTeX (pdflatex)
* run pdflatex from the command line on this a first time
(which generates an *.idx file)
* run makeindex on this file (without extension)
(which generates an *.ind file which will be input during the next
pdflatex run)
In my reply to your personal account i forgot the most important point ,-(
*** Edit the *.ind file ***
After the first line
\begin{theindex}
add the line
\thispagestyle{scrheadings}
* final run of pfdlatex on the *.tex source file
And here we are, the first page of the index has the desired header and
footer lines.
