Re: LyX Essentials / View PDF / Export PDF
Ooops. Now I have messed up my installation. I copied the stdtoolbar.inc from the installation folder on C:\Program Files to the "ui" folder in my LyX2.0 user directory and was playing around with it. But then my toolbar disappeared. When I tried deleting the .inc files from my user ui folder so that the defaults would be used, the toolbars seem to have shrunk. Please see the attached screenshot. I have tried re-installing LyX but this has not helped (as I suspect the problem is somewhere in my user directory). Has anyone come across this issue and happen to know where the incorrect setting may be?

Re: LyX Essentials / View PDF / Export PDF
Hi Rainer, That's a good point. I renamed C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0 to LyX2.0_old and, as you say, a new one was created on launching LyX. However the toolbars are still missing. So the problem must be elsewhere. I am logged on a s Limited XP user so I don't know if any changes would have occurred in the C:\Program Files\LyX20 folder when I was playing with the user folder. Where else might I look for the culprit? Thanks, Ken On 29 July 2011 09:45, Rainer M Krug wrote: > > > On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 10:40 AM, Ken wrote: >> >> Ooops.

Missing Toolbars
I uninstalled LyX (including user preferences) and re-installed however that has not resolved the issue. Where does LyX store settings if it does so in places other than the following? C:\Program Files\LyX20 C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0 Are settings stored in the registry? Could the toolbar settings be set in an addon package (like Qt)? I have tried disabling and enabling the toolbars from the View menu but that has not resolved the issue either. I have renamed the subject of this email so that it starts a new thread (as suggested).

Double page numbers on two-sided thesis document
Dear list, I am using the default thesis template from Lyx 2.0 and have the following problem with page numbering in a two-sided document in book style (KOMA): Every left page carries two page numbers (one on the left page edge, one near the binding), every right page just one (on the right page edge). I would like to switch off this double-numbering of left pages but do not know how. Any help? Best regards, Dirk

But you can start english language LyX like this, from the command line: LANG=C lyx or export LANG=C lyx Then the menu will say "Tools" and you can make a permanent change. I am not sure how this will work if on windows. Perhaps: set LANG=C lyx Helge Hafting

Missing Toolbars / Broken Installation
This request is related to an earlier thread (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/71063) but I am starting a new thread here to help solve a specific broken installation. I copied stdmenus.inc and stdtoolbas.inc from C:\Program Files\LyX20\Resources\ui to C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0\ui in order to edit/customize one of the toolbars. However, this caused none of my toolbars to load so I removed these files in an attempt to revert back to the default settings. However, I am still left without any toolbars in LyX. I have attempted to un-install LyX (including all user preferences) and to re-install LyX but this has not fixed the issue. When I document is open no toolbars appear. When all documents are close, there appears to be some sort of very,very small toolbar. Please see the attached screenshot. I have no idea how to fix this as I have completely un-installed and re-installed LyX without any luck. Where else might settings be stored which I need to clear? Windows registry? Another folder than the two mentioned above? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ken <>

(Had the same effect in trunk) Definitition of "Left Footer" is ok, but "Right Footer" should have set the "Short Title" to nothing. (As of now, there is no short title). So insert "Short title" in "Right Footer", but let it be empty and you should be done. Kornel signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: Double page numbers on two-sided thesis document
Thanks a lot Kornel! Unfortunately I am not entirely sure what do no... I am a bit of a newbie to Lyx and would very much appreciate if you could give your advice once more for dummies. Many thanks!

Re: Double page numbers on two-sided thesis document
Thanks for your reply Richard! I have not customised anything. The problem just arose out of the default settings.

Re: Double page numbers on two-sided thesis document
Thanks Kornel! Unfortunately the problem persists also after that executing "Insert Short Title". I just tried it with my document and also with a new, clean version of the thesis template to make sure the problem does not arise due to some customisation. In both cases, however, the double page numbering remains. I would be grateful for further advice. Best wishes, Dirk On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 10:43 PM, Kornel Benko wrote: > Am Freitag, 29.

Setting zoom level when opening PDF output file
Hi, does anyone know how to set the zoom level for when you open the PDF output file? I found that the package hyperref is supposed to allow this feature but I don't know the command. Does anyone know where to find all the options that can be used in hyperref? Thanks.

I found that the package hyperref is supposed to allow this feature but I don't know the command. Does anyone know where to find all the options that can be used in hyperref? In hyperref's documentation. It should be included in your TeX installation. Or Google it to find it online. I found: http://www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/manual.html#x1-13.6 The option you're looking for is "pdfstartview". You can put something like "pdfstartview=FitH" in Document Settings->PDF Properties->Additional Options. Separate multiple options with commas. (Like "option1=foo, option2=bar".)
Re: Missing Toolbars / Broken Installation
In Tools > Preferences > Look & Feel > User Interface, try deselecting everything under "Session" and clicking the "Clear all session information" button. Then close and restart LyX. Does that help? Paul
