Opening files: multiple tabs or multiple windows?
Hello all, I've been using LyX (1.3.7) happily for many years now . I've recently received a newer computer and took the opportunity to upgrade to Tex Live 2008 and LyX 1.6.2 on OS X 10.4.11. The new version is quite a change from what I'm used to, with plenty of great features. Thanks to all the developers! My problem is that when I open a new or existing file in 1.6.2 I seem to get a new instance of LyX for each file, instead of multiple tabs in the one window, as one might expect. How can I - 1. Force new files to open as tabs within a single instance of LyX? 2. Toggle the default behaviour between opening files in a new or existing LyX window (if it's possible)? I've spent quite a bit of time fiddling around and searching on the wiki. No luck yet. I'm certain I'm missing something very obvious. I'm currently using the default user interface settings. Thanks AT

Expectations are different on different platforms. For Mac, the expectation is normally one document per window, so we follow that expectation with LyX/Mac. (And no, it's not a new instance of LyX for each document.) How can I - 1. Force new files to open as tabs within a single instance of LyX? LyX Preferences Look Feel User interface: check the Open documents in tabs option. 2. Toggle the default behaviour between opening files in a new or existing LyX window (if it's possible)? Not possible automatically when opening a file, AFAIK. But you can select File New Window before opening a document, and it should open in that new window instead of as a tab of an existing window. (Alternatively, if you have documents automatically opening in new windows, you can open the document first, then select the window of which you want it to be a tab, and select View [document name]; at this point, you can close the old window containing the document.

Re: multiple windows
The two lyx's don't talk to each other, i.e. you cannot copy and paste between them, only via external selection. Can that some how be achieved? A useful feature would be the xemacs style divider into two parts either vertically or horizontally. Miki Paul A.

Thanks - SB Yes, but how depends on what you mean by displayed simultaneously. You can open multiple documents in one copy of LyX 1.4.x and navigate between them. In 1.4.4, at the bottom of the View menu are links to each open document; in earlier versions, you had the same option but possibly in a different part of the menu. What you cannot do in one copy of 1.4.x is display two versions side by side. (When you switch to one document, the other one disappears from the GUI.) To actually view two documents side by side, open them in separate instances of LyX. (You can have multiple instances running at the same time.) HTH, Paul
