You are wild guessing? AFAICS, LyX doesn't lock the files and - at least on Unix (Linux and Mac) - it doesn't keep the original file open. I never tested this on windows. You may try to copy an elder version of a file over the original while LyX has the document on screen to try it out. > When you close the LyX all locks are removed, Dropbox quickly updates > your file from the server, then when you reopen LyX you see new > version.

If merge features are needed - I'd suggest to use a real revision control system like SVN. It's designed for collaboration. LyX is able to handle locking with SVN, warns you if a merge is needed etc. See the LyX docs. Of course you need a SVN repository somewhere with access for all co-workers... Stephan

Thank you for your help, I managed it with the initial command, just a

I think your problem lies in Dropbox itself and the file locking mechanics (I understand you are working on Windows). Dropbox cannot update (write to) file currently open by any application for reading, Windows permission system does not allow that. I do not know whether LyX keep file opened or locked anyhow (should for NFS purpose), however while Dropbox > 1.0 is able to read and sync files to the server (it do that with my opened Excel sheets) it is not able to write anything while file is opened. When you close the LyX all locks are removed, Dropbox quickly updates your file from the server, then when you reopen LyX you see new version. I think LyX should operate at Dropbox API level to handle properly that case you expect. I think it won't happen fast if at all.

Can you use the hyperref package this way or is there a better way? That works (and is the designated way to do it), provided that you don't separately load hyperref in the preamble. If hyperref gets loaded twice, it usually crabs about conflicting settings. Some document classes may load hyperref automatically (I think maybe beamer does), so this can get tricky. /Paul

You could just define a couple environments to house the graphic and the caption, or perhaps define an environment for the graphic, and that environment prints variable mycaption, and mycaption is set by a character style that doesn't print its content. I do this for my Warnings boxes. I think the most LyXically correct way to do it is to use an environment with a label, but I'm not sure how those work.

To terminate a command, if no other termination is done. In your case, LaTeX

failed, because no such command existed. If another command follows (Br\o\ss),
not termination is needed. You can also terminate by braces (Br{\o}nsted or

Oh, sorry, I didn't see that you want the caption but not the label.
If that's what you want, then you will have to do something like
redefine the \@makecaption macro that is used to set the caption. I
tried redefining \fnum@figure to do nothing, but that leaves the ":" in
front of the caption. Here's the definition from article.cls:
\long\def\@makecaption#1#2{%
\vskip\abovecaptionskip
\sbox\@tempboxa{#1: #2}%
\ifdim \wd\@tempboxa >\hsize
#1: #2\par
\else
\global \@minipagefalse
\hb@xt@\hsize{\hfil\box\@tempboxa\hfil}%
\fi
\vskip\belowcaptionskip}
#1 is what you don't want. If you never want it, then you can just
replace "#1: #2" with "#2" and be done with it. If you want it in some
cases but not others, that is more complicated.

a problem with beta 3 on linux (Kubuntu) 10.10
If I load a file with this name:
file_name_(1).lyx
The Lyx load and seve it without problems, but when I try to display it the
program try to convert with e different file name:
file_name_1.lyx
and the display subroutine apparently stop without explicit message. I think
the problem my be due to the filtering the "(" ")" chars from the file name. I
think this is e big problem with Linux O.S. because is normal to insert this
char in file name. I do not try with other chars, for exaple òàèìù, but i
notice same problem to load this files.

Re: A "slash o" ?? Cannot get it...
Also sprach Kenward Vaughan:

To terminate a command, if no other termination is done. In your case, LaTeX
thought you meant the command \onsted (which could very well be meant), and
failed, because no such command existed. If another command follows (Br\o\ss),
not termination is needed. You can also terminate by braces (Br{\o}nsted or
Br\o{}nsted), but this affects the kerning, so the space is suggested.
