I read my mail (and usenetgroups) with a threaded reader that uses the headers to group all the messages in thread order. Since I also use filters to sort them into folders I have no need for the info embedded in the identifier you suggest. And because it would be on the left hand side of the subject header it would reduce the functionality of the threaded index view of my mail client. => To illustrate what I mean, I've included a snippage of what an 80 => column threaded index view of my lyx folder looks like (see below) => -> Note: that view includes an example of a modified subject that was => -> still part of the same thread. Sometimes that happens because => -> someone who doesn't know (or doesn't care) how threaded readers => -> work, hits reply and edits the subject as a shortcut to starting a => -> new discussion in which if the thread runs deep enough, I could => -> miss the one interesting message hiding in a thread I'm no longer => -> reading... On the other hand if they went with appending it to the righthand end of the subject, so that this topic would show up as: "Suggestion [Lyx-Users]" rather than as "[Lyx-Users] Suggestion", then it wouldn't bother me at all... But you might miss it if the subject was too long...

Assuming a default custom installation (no .deb packages) of texlive 2008, the directory of the binaries must be added to the search path. In Ubuntu the default should be PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i386-linux:$PATH; export PATH MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/doc/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/doc/info:$INFOPATH; export INFOPATH these lines or the relevant ones in your system are added in your .bashrc (or .profile) file in your HOME directory. Then reconfigure LyX and try again. I hope this is a help Regards Ignacio Garcia

Antonio If you are keeping the old LaTeX version around as well, you might want to check out Ubuntu's update-alternatives command (check the man page or google it). I've only used it for Java, but it should be possible to use it to make the new TeXLive install the default choice. Then run latex --version just to confirm the newer LaTeX is being chosen, after which try reconfiguring and restarting LyX. If the new version is already the default choice, you may just need the last step (reconfigure/restart LyX). /Paul
Changing Latex installation used in Lyx

I recently installed a new version of latex (texlive) in a different place from where the old one was, but I can't figure out how to get Lyx to recognize it.

Undo
Hello there, I am new to Lyx and have a question about the undo command (cmd-z on a mac). When I press cmd-z in Lyx, all actions executed since opening the file are being undone, not just the last action. How can I undo only the last action? Thanks so much, kind regards, Martijn
Question about command sequences
Dear Lyx-list,
I am trying to use Command Sequences to come up with a simple way to
create frames in Beamer without resorting to the use of \lyxframe{} or
repeated copying-and-pasting. My goal is to use a minimal number of
keystrokes to create plain LaTeX \begin{frame}, \frametitle{} and
\end{frame} commands, so as to be able to collaborate with non-LyX
users.
I have tried using Command Sequences and have run into a couple of
problems. My approach was to create two commands:
C-[ would insert the latex code to begin the frame and create a
placeholder for the frame title:
\begin{frame} \frametitle{}
C-] would insert the latex code to end the frame:
\end{frame}
(The choice of [ and ] was arbitrary.)
I created the following Command Sequences in the
Tools-Preferences-Editing dialog box:
command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \begin{frame}; inset-toggle;
ert-insert; self-insert \frametitle{}; inset-toggle;
This is assigned keyboard shortcut Crtl-[
and
command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \end{frame}; inset-toggle;
This is assigned keyboard shortcut Ctrl-]
The second (end frame) works as expected. However, the first reverses
the order of the ERT boxes somehow, i.e. the resulting content is
\frametitle{} first followed by \begin{frame}.
Why is the order in which the commands appear reversed in this way?
This seems a little odd, although a simple workaround is to redefine
the sequence as
command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \begin{frame}; inset-toggle;
ert-insert; self-insert \frametitle{}; inset-toggle;
(Again, assigned to Ctrl-[ )
That works pretty well, but there is one small complication. I was
expecting the resulting LaTex code to be simply
\begin{frame} \frametitle{}
However, initially something else is inserted (at least, visible in
the preview window):
\inputencoding{latin1}\begin{frame}\inputencoding{latin9}\foreignlanguage{english}{\frametitle{}}
Once I save the file, close and reopen, the content of the preview
window is as expected (i.e. all that extraneous stuff is gone), so
perhaps this is not a big deal. However, it leads me to think I am
doing something wrong and in any event it would be nice to have the
code right from the start.
Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong or should be doing differently?
There are a few refinements I would like to attempt eventually (adding
the begin and end frame code with just one command, having the cursor
appear in the frametitle field, having the resulting material in the
LyX document mimic more closely what you get when you import from
LaTex, etc.) and I would welcome any suggestions along these lines,
but I would like to get this basic, sufficient code right first.
Many thanks.
Inserting algorithms and codes in documents
Hi! I'm writing my thesis and now I would need to put some algorithms and codes to my LyX document. I created a float Algorithm and I placed in it a program listing. I see it is even possible to select many useful options, I think it is really great and very very comfortable. There one thing I'm not able to fix... it seems the algorithm doesn't go to the new page... One single page is not sufficient to contain the entire algorithm... Is it possible to make LyX go to the new page with the same algorithm? Thanks!
Re: About the position of footnotes and page numbers
Hi all:
*try defining some LaTeX command that looks like a footnote, but acts like a
margin note. Very roughly:
\newcounter{footmarg}
\newcommand{\margfoot}[1]{\**refstepcounter{footmarg}\**marginpar{\arabic{footmarg}.
#1}}
Then, if you don't want footnotes at all:
\let\footnote=\margfoot
This will not always work, I expect, but it ought to get you started.*
I'm sorry, but I didn't understand. Your propose is to insert the footnotes
with that Latex command, but, where do I write the content of the footnote?
Maybe is easier to change the place of footnotes in the template, but I dont
know how can I do that.
About the Fancyhdr package it can change the position of the page numbers.
regards

importing latex with new document class.
