Re: [Important] New behavior for spam handling on this list
On Thu, 7 Apr 2022, Steve Litt via lyx-users wrote: In my opinion, this list is so welcoming that there's little remaining low hanging fruit remaining to make the list even more welcoming, so I still think enabling non-subscribers to post is unnecessary and has downsides. +1 Most mail lists require a subscription to post messages. This is certainly reasonable. Even when an occasional LyX user has a question or problem and wants help from mail list subscribers, it's not askting too much to have them subscribe. They could always unsubscribe if they don't want to continue receiving messages. One apparently recent list change I'd like to see reversed is having the Reply-To address point to the sender and the From address to the mail list. Since it's the general practice to respond to threads by sending to the list the default of Reply-To should be the mail list. At least, that's the way it's always been in pine and alpine.

Mail list headers have changed
When I reply to a mail list message, including the lyx mail list, I select 'reply to all' in alpine. This has always sent the message to the mail list. Today, all responses to my Modern CV issue have reply to set to the individual while from is set to the sender's name at lyx-users@lists.lyx.org. Not only does this appear backwards to me, but it forces me to delete the to address and manually type in the list's name. Can this change be undone?

Compiling your MWE, I did not run into the error message you mentioned. I

heading style. In Documents > Settings > Page Layout, I changed the "Page
style:" selection from "headings" to "Default", after which the MWE
compiled. (Whether it looks right is left to the reader as an exercise.)
Paul,
Thank you. For some reason the 'Page style' originally was Fancy and I
changed it to Headings. Just now changed it to Default.
Saved the document and compiled. An error appeared saying section headings
were inappropriate, but there are no section headings specified. Recompiled
and it completed without errors. Shrug.
How it changed since the last time I edited it several years ago I've no

Glitch (bug?) in 2.3.6.1
I've encountered unusual behavior when compiling the document using pdflatex. When I've used an ERT within a float figure's caption lyx highlights the string containing that ERT and pops up an error box which tells me only that there's an error. Closing that error box and repeating the command, ctrl-x/ctrl-h, presents the message that the pdf files's been created in the status bar. In one figure caption I had '\mu' in an ERT box, in the other caption it is '\textdegree' in the box. Since I don't subscribe to the dev's mail list I'm posting this here. It might be a bug, or the error message box and highlighting might be only a distracting glitch. Rich -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Herbert, That's interesting, and I'll see if the bitmapped graphic fits the same space as the vector one. I've not known of pdftocairo. The slow loading (about 14 seconds) in the compiled document is one issue. The more serious one now is with LyX itself: it now hangs when I click the 'Select' button on the open file dialog box or the 'Browse' button on the graphic insert dialog box. LyX consumes 100% of the CPU core and all I can do is kill the process. Started a couple of days ago and had never before occurred.

I believe that if you draw, say a scatterplot with 10^6 data points, the resulting pdf will contain 10^6 instructions to draw points. This may cause slow rendering (and printing!). The most straightforward fix I know of is don't do that, write code to resample the results to a smaller set. However, that requires work on my part. Neal, The data used to create a plot should be appropriate to communicate what's important about the data. Recently I calculated monthly averages for river discharge and plotted those because the data set was very large and monthly averages were sufficient for that project. My current project focuses on a different river's discharge variability at multiple time scales (hourly, daily, monthly, seasonally, and annually) so I need all 813694 measurements over the 33 year period of record for an overall data distribution summary. I've searched a couple of times for a software solution (say, a backend for mpl that would automatically simplify plots), but so far I haven't found anything. Similarly, it would be nice to have a solution that directly simplifies a pdf. I don't think this is the same thing as compressing a pdf (although I could be wrong). I've no idea what 'simplifying' a plot would entail. But, since ghostscript reduced my plot's size by about 74% with no effect on resolution I'm satisfied with that.
