How to automatically copy certain files into the tmp directory?
Hi I am using ERT boxes for inserting movies into BEAMER presentations and a few other things as well. The problem is, that the files I need in the temporary directory where the LaTeX file is compiled are not automatically copied there and I have to copy them manually. Is there a way of specifying them (e.g. in the preamble), so that they are automatically copied along with the other files needed? Thanks Rainer -- Rainer M.

Obsoleting classic.ui

I looked at it, but this is quite static and I have to maintain a script in addition to the LyX file (unless I put all files in one directory which is copied). Is there a way to let LaTeX copy the files, i.e. that I can specify them in the preamble? Rainer > pavel > -- Rainer M.

[rant-mode] Well I guess I'll say thanks for the warning... As it happens it's the only ui I've ever intentionally used. I don't even really know why I automatically selected it unless it's because every single time I've seen any changes to any kind of user interface I've grown accustomed to, I've always been disappointed because somehow it's always the features I personally like to use that gets obsoleted... This doesn't surprise me much any more. And I've long since given up trying to figure out how they know which features I like so that the can avoid obsoleting anything I don't happen to use... It's kind of like how do the Neilsons know when I've discovered a TV show I like enough to watch on purpose. But they obviously do, as the moment I start liking a show it's days are numbered... [/rant-mode] But seriously, I'm not sure what the difference is between the .ui files. If your going to remove the "clasic.ui" could you tell me which remaining .ui file results in the closest match to the actual user interface? -- | ~^~ ~^~ | Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P |\___/ <>
openright, openany?
I'm using the book class. I'm sure that 'openright' used to be the default and I used to put '\openany' in the preamble. Now 'openany' seems to be the default and putting '\openright' in the preamble causes an error. Any information on this?

LyXWinInstaller for Windows 7
Hi Uwe, last night I installed LyX+MikTex under Windows 7 (Enterprise Edition) using your "Altinstaller Complete" (i.e. LyX 1.6.3 plus MikTex) and to my great delight * Everything went without a problem.* Just, towards the end, when LyX starts "checking for installed packages" - one ought to suggest to users to go out for dinner and not panic when Lyx is not done after dessert ;-) Thanks for a great installer, Greetings, H.Peter Uwe Stöhr wrote: Hello LyXers, the alternative Windows installer for LyX 1.6.3 is now available. This installer comes again with an update installer to update existing LyX 1.6.2 installation to LyX 1.6.3. NOTE: To be able to use this installer version, LyX 1.6.2 must have been installed with the alternative Windows installer. - The installer for this version can be downloaded from: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=16343 and http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.3/ (General infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) Installer Changelog: - Version 4.19 - LyX 1.6.3 - add two missing programs so that paths in LyX document preambles will correctly be parsed - fix installation of Arabic spell checker dictionary - new Indonesian translation of the installer (thanks to Waluyo Adi Siswanto) - LyX can now be installed with Indonesian and Slovak menus - the uninstaller is now also shown in the Windows system language - updated to Python 2.6.2 - updated to ImageMagick 6.5.3-2 - happy LyXing Uwe

So you do not have to put them in the preamble, but to Document->Class->Options. Jürgen

LyX beamer with e.g. circles on top of text or images?
Dear All, In a LyX "beamer" presentation, I would like to draw circles, rectangles, arrows on top of text or images. How to do that? Do you guys happen to have LyX templates that can do that? Thank you, Sebastian -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/LyX-beamer-with-e.g.-circles-on-top-of-text-or-images--tp3475135p3475135.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: Find All and Emphasize
Hi all,
I'd like to mention that, with the patch I committed right now on the
SVN, the current version of LyX from trunk implements correctly this
kind of feature, i.e., you can search for a plain word and replace it
with its emphasized or boldface version, or search for some text (i.e.,
X1) and replace it with a math symbol ($X_1$), or you can search for
some maths (i.e., $X^1$) and replace it with some rework of it (i.e.,
$Y_1$), etc.. I know there are many use-cases, and I hope somebody helps
in identifying the most important ones and/or possible issues.
Regards,
Tommaso

Not within LyX itself. The best way to do it is to run a script of some
sort on the .lyx file. E.g.:
sed -e 's/ that / \n\n\\emph on\nthat\n\\emph default\n /g' < t.lyx
>tt.lyx
is a dumb sed one-liner that almost does it.
This is acutally the usage scenario I'm trying to target with the
"Find LyX..." (a.k.a., Advanced Search or Find Advanced) feature of
LyX 2.0.0 from svn. There, you can enter arbitrarily complex LyX text
inside the Replace... area, so that you can do (in principle) exactly
what you are seeking for. It doesn't work perfectly fine, as of now,
for example, in your case, after the replacement, you would get a set
of "\emph{word}" instead of the word emphasized, but I think it won't
be difficult to fix such issues.
Of course, for the advanced user, the text-based search/replace made
directly on the .lyx file with a text editor, is the only thing you
can do with the current official LyX releases, and it works (unless
you make mistakes -- backup first).
Bye,
Tommaso
