Hi Christian,
first of all, it would be useful to know more details. For example, you 
should tell what exactly doesn't work and how exactly you want it to work.
Then, please ask a more precise question (see 
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html if you want more 
information on how to do that).
When you did that and still noone can help you, you should try to create 
a minimal example, showing the problem you want to resolve.

Lyx 1.6.2 unusably slow on the Mac

[Dirk Materlik]

Hi everyone,

I just installed the new version 1.6.2 with high hopes of performance  
enhancements on the Mac. Unfortunately, it is still unusably slow on  
any longer documents with multiple child documents, literally taking  
several seconds to insert each and every character. All the 1.6- 
versions have been like that for me, 1.5.7 is perfectly fine. I am  
using this on Mac with OS X 10.5.6.


I cannot find any mention of this issue on the mailing list, is it  
really working out ok for everyone else?

I've the same problem on windows.

For me, it depends on the amount of different child documents I've
included. 

Do you by any chance have your documents stored on a network drive or an

 a) if you want vertical space for separating paragraphs, use the

about this on bugzilla).

I have a bulleted list under KOMA-Script.  It is double-spaced.  It would look 
better either at 1.5 spacing or single spacing but indented.  Is that the 
same issue?

If you have ticked DocumentSettings Text format: Separate paragraphs

Try with (*) indent instead. Or try inserting \usepackage{parskip} in the

Yes, that's right. The manual I'm currently editing has about 40 child

Re: LyX 1.6.2: possible performance issue inside master document

[pseudo2009]

Hi all, 

thank Abdelrazak Younes for the prompt answer. 

so I'm not the only one (see users list: Lyx 1.6.2 unusably slow on the Mac)

 Child document opened alone or together with its parent?
Performance inside the child document is much better. Only the master is 
concerned. It does not matter whether the master is opened or not. It even does 
not make any difference if the master or the child is opened first.

For me it looks like heavy internal updating inside the master is done for each 
included child-doc (it does not matter whether the child is opend).

 If you are able to send me a test document (maybe privately) I'll have a 
 look. Even better: put it in a new bugzilla entry.
Mailing is a problem since it's a whole project documentation, with pictures 
... Hopefully I can reproduce it with smaller documents. But I think some othe 
guys already have the same trouble (see above). I'm not familar with bugzilla, 
but if I can reproduce it I'll give it a try.

Thank's

Consecutive numeration of lists also after a section in standard-format

You can download the lyx module enumitem.module from

you can simply choose a style Enumerate-Resume from the dropdown-list

Thanks Guenter,

I didn't describe my problem right. The entire problem was I wanted one single 
environment to do the job of both \list and \item. I now realize that's not 
possible in LaTeX, and only using a special LyX keyword makes that possible.

The solution is in LyX, not in LaTeX. The solution in LyX is to use this:

LatexType Item_Environment

My problem is I had been using the following LyX grammar:

LatexType Environment

Using just plain Environment makes happen just what I experienced -- only 
the first item gets a bullet. The Item_Environment keyword makes LyX insert 
an \item in each paragraph. Too cool! Developers, thanks for that 
convenience -- otherwise I'd need to use an item environment nested inside a 
list environment, and nobody wants that.

 What you need is to install this LaTeX-package. Since
 TeXLive 208 this is easy: open teXLive's package manager,
 select there the LaTeX-package named xargs, and install
 it. (I don't know how a package is installed with TeXLive

In Linux, just download xargs.sty and put somewhere in texmf directory

 a) if you want vertical space for separating paragraphs, use the
'parskip' package and not the LyX GUI setting (there is a bugreport
about this on bugzilla).

 b) use a LaTeX package that provides for this, e.g. 'enumitem'.

Hint: search for the LyX module for enumitem on wiki.lyx.org.

Thanks Guenter,

I didn't describe my problem right. The entire problem was I wanted one single 
environment to do the job of both \list and \item. I now realize that's not 
possible in LaTeX, and only using a special LyX keyword makes that possible.

The solution is in LyX, not in LaTeX. The solution in LyX is to use this:

LatexType Item_Environment

My problem is I had been using the following LyX grammar:

LatexType Environment

Using just plain Environment makes happen just what I experienced -- only 
the first item gets a bullet. The Item_Environment keyword makes LyX insert 
an \item in each paragraph. Too cool! Developers, thanks for that 
convenience -- otherwise I'd need to use an item environment nested inside a 
list environment, and nobody wants that.

 What you need is to install this LaTeX-package. Since
 TeXLive 208 this is easy: open teXLive's package manager,
 select there the LaTeX-package named xargs, and install
 it. (I don't know how a package is installed with TeXLive
 2007 on Linux.

In Linux, just download xargs.sty and put somewhere in texmf directory 
(super-user mode) then run texhash. It will solve the problem (texlive 2007 and 
previous, but texlive 2008 is likely more complete).

 Install it in your texmf/tex/latex tree and run texhash.

Hi Christian,
first of all, it would be useful to know more details. For example, you 
should tell what exactly doesn't work and how exactly you want it to work.
Then, please ask a more precise question (see 
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html if you want more 
information on how to do that).
When you did that and still noone can help you, you should try to create 
a minimal example, showing the problem you want to resolve.

Lyx 1.6.2 unusably slow on the Mac

[Dirk Materlik]

Hi everyone,

I just installed the new version 1.6.2 with high hopes of "performance  
enhancements on the Mac". Unfortunately, it is still unusably slow on  
any longer documents with multiple child documents, literally taking  
several seconds to insert each and every character. All the 1.6- 
versions have been like that for me, 1.5.7 is perfectly fine. I am  
using this on Mac with OS X 10.5.6.


I cannot find any mention of this issue on the mailing list, is it  
really working out ok for everyone else?

I've the same problem on windows.

For me, it depends on the amount of different child documents I've
included. 

Do you by any chance have your documents stored on a network drive or an
external drive ?

I have a bulleted list under KOMA-Script.  It is double-spaced.  It would look 
better either at 1.5 spacing or single spacing but indented.  Is that the 
same issue?

If you have ticked "Document>Settings Text format: Separate paragraphs
by (*) vertical space" the answer is "probably yes".

Try with "(*) indent" instead. Or try inserting \usepackage{parskip} in the
LaTeX preamble.

Yes, that's right. The manual I'm currently editing has about 40 child

No, it's all on the internal disk.

I noticed that I have a lot of network traffic between the moment I

Could you confirm the increased network traffic within this period ?

Re: LyX 1.6.2: possible performance issue inside master document

[pseudo2009]

Hi all, 

thank Abdelrazak Younes for the prompt answer. 

so I'm not the only one (see users list: Lyx 1.6.2 unusably slow on the Mac)

> Child document opened alone or together with its parent?
Performance inside the child document is much better. Only the master is 
concerned. It does not matter whether the master is opened or not. It even does 
not make any difference if the master or the child is opened first.

For me it looks like heavy internal updating inside the master is done for each 
included child-doc (it does not matter whether the child is opend).

> If you are able to send me a test document (maybe privately) I'll have a

Mailing is a problem since it's a whole project documentation, with pictures 
... Hopefully I can reproduce it with smaller documents. But I think some othe 
guys already have the same trouble (see above). I'm not familar with bugzilla, 
but if I can reproduce it I'll give it a try.

Thank's

Or is it only on certain platforms? I've not seen reports of this

Have there been other changes to the Windows or Mac distributions from

Consecutive numeration of lists also after a section in standard-format

[jezZiFeR]

Dear listmembers,

I do have a list with six sentences. They start with

1.)
2.)
3.)
4.)

Then I entered a description for this forth sentence, and after that I  
would like to continue with:


5.)
6.)

But the problem is, that when I choose "numeration" in the menu, the  
numeration again starts with "1". How could I change that behaviour?


Thanks, best

While you are in your description line Use _Shift+Alt+RightArrowKey_ or
the _Increase depth_ button to, well, increase the depth of the line(s)
you want. The enumeration won't break like this.

You can download the lyx module "enumitem.module" from 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/Enumitem (instructions on the page). With that, 
you can simply choose a style "Enumerate-Resume" from the dropdown-list 
of styles.

Remember to reconfigure lyx after placing the module in the right place!

Lost some work in 1.6.2. :-(

[James Mansion]

Started to use 1.6.2  on the train today, XPsp3.

Half an hour's work was completely lost, however, when I:
- setthe icon size to 'small'
- tried to move the second row of buttons to be next to the first

I dropped the draged buttons and, bag! end of process.

Couldn't reproduce the crash, but the sections of 'coolbar' or whatever 
the are don't seem to snap to docking points like they do in MFC apps.

Math letters become boxes.

[Hoikwang Kim]

 Hi, lyx user! .
I just installed lyx to my new laptop but the math letters are all seen as
boxes.

When I type \alpha, it became a black box not mathematical alpha. And all
other math operators are the same. They become all blank boxes.

Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
