Lyx 1.6.4.1 and snown leopard
Dear all, i'm writing for your help. I just updated my Mac OS to Snown Leopard. I also installed the last version of lyx available for mac, namely 1.6.4.1. Unfortunately I have been experiencing the following problem: every, let us say, 4 minutes a OS windows appears that repeatedly tells me Lyx quit unexpectedly when Lyx continues to run without issues in the background. This is quite annoying because I have to stop using lyx and close the windows. COuld you please help me in fixing this issue? Many thanks in advance for your assistance. BEst - ALdo
Re: Vertical spacing of matrices
Uwe, in the page 2 you have on top an specific trigonometric example (Blancos) without brackets. And more, when I say that the brackets are no necessary is because LaTeX add a little space between the function and his argument. So the reality is that LaTeX don't type, cos2vt but, cos 2vt with a little more space after "cos" and this is very comprehensive for everybody. Please don't mention me the Wikipedia because this resource isn't at all a "canon" for nothing.

Re: Re: Re: Will Lyx run on Mac OS X 10.6?
Now I have tested LyX on Mac OSX 10.6 more thoroughly and the crashes seem to
appear only when Lyx does some autosaving of the current document
("Automatisches Speichern des aktuellen Dokuments
" is written in the bottom
bar of the Lyx window Should be sth. like "autosaving current document
" in
the English version). It immediately crashes afterwards. So far I haven't
recognized crashes elsewhere. It's always the 2-minute-autosaving-crash.
I also deactivated autosaving in the preferences but this strangely does not
really deactivate it, as after a couple of minutes the bottom bar message
reoccurs and so do the crashes. I have restarted LyX after changing the
preferences.

bravo! you got it. Although I did not (consciously) uncheck
anything. that option must have gone unchecked automaticaly upon
importing a Latex file.
As a general remark, I really love LyX, but if I can make friendly
criticism, I find its user interface a bit clumsy, especially in
what concerns the setting of different options that is often hidden
where you ("I" !!!) would not expect it.

Re: Question on adding WYSIWY* math symbols
Philip Mayer schrieb: So, my question is: Is there a straightforward way of adding support for additional symbols? No. Support for new symbols needs to be programmed directly in LyX, especially when the symbols require special LaTeX-packages as in your case. LyX needs to know how to display the symbol. regards Uwe p.s. (What you can do is to modify the file "symbols", but be patient!)
Karmic Koala update slows down lyx
The most recent Karmic Koala updates make updating the Lyx caret (text position) very slow. If I click the left-arrow, it takes a second before the caret is seen in the new position and the old position is not erased properly. This may not be a problem with Lyx, but I'm curious to know if other users have the same problem. Sam

I subscribe to a list that does do this And I wish they didn't.

I suspect that just as many mailing lists differ on this as do on the
"Reply-To:" munging issue somebody mentioned... Because there is such
a thing as free choice on operating systems, mail servers, and
mail clients, neither choice {for either issue} can possibly be a
"one 'size' pleases all" solution. And like "top vs bottom" posting
or the infamous "vi vs emacs" debates, these are all "holy wars" that
simply can NOT be forever put to rest...
EXCEPT that, at least in the case of "Subject: tagging" (IE [LyX]) then
there is the potential for it to become a non-issue. All it would take
is for the list server(s) to evolve to include a configuration choice
for tagged, or non tagged Subject: headers, just as there is usually a
choice for digest or non-digest...
Personally I don't think that's ever going to happen any more than I
think anybody will ever offer a list server with a smart digest option
that includes some kind of "header like" tag in each individual message
of the digest that can be used by a digest only subscriber to request a
personal resend of just those individual messages they wanted to reply
to. Which would provide a way for digest users to avoid messing with the
threaded message reply path.
Like I said, it ain't gonna happen...
But wouldn't it be nice if I was wrong?
It would appear that on Sep 2, Rich Shepard did say:

Hmmmnnn I myself use procmail (with only a minimal understanding of it)
I would be very interested in seeing your ~/.procmail.rc recipe for the
lyx mailing list...
And if perchance, you happen to know how I could use procmail to
strip such tags from the messages I get from lists that do add them,
would you kindly explain it to me???
Because if I knew how to do that I'd no longer mind it when some list
manager decides to add Subject: tags to a list I'm reading...
