Dear Thomas

Excellent news! Thank you for your continued work. I have not taken a fine
look at this yet, but I also use Ubuntu so it looks like it might be useful.

I'm not sure but I think for your contributions to be used you have to give
permission explicitly. Look at this email:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg161963.html
You can send something like that to the development list, lyx-devel

And it could be a good idea for Murat to do the same.

I'm not sure though.

In any case, thank you for your continued work. I am appreciative. Xu

lyx 2.0.0 URL error "unable to open external file" on Ubuntu 11.10 . File path is correct!!

2012-03-31 Thread Alasdair Reed 

Hi, I am trying to create a link in a document to an external file (an 
using the "hyperlink" feature. However after creating the link in the
document and exporting to pdf the link appears as it should in the pdf,
but I get the following error message (file name altered) 

Error stating file '/media/Nano/file:/media/Nano/bar.xls': No such
file or directory


The file exists and the source of the document reflects the correct
file path. 

\href{file:/media/Nano/bar.xls}

The file is on an external drive,(the drive is always mounted) but
generally this shouldn't make any difference. Should it? I have created
test documents on the main hard drive with the same result. Have I
missed something here?

Regards,

Alasdair

Finally, I realized part of function that I want, though not satisfactorily.

I found that a pdf file in a temp folder is updated very time I pdflatex. Say,
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Temp\lyx_tmpdir.Hp2836\lyx_tmpbuf2. Every time
pdflatex open the viewer, it opens the this file.

Thus the viewer for pdflatex is defined as SumatraView.bat, which is

start "" /D "%~dp1" /B "SumatraPDF.exe" -reuse-instance -inverse-
search "lyxeditor.exe %%f %%l" %~nx1
copy %~1 D:\Dropbox\PDFs /Y

The first line are openning the pdfviewer and passing inverse search
parameters.

The second copies the file from the temporary folder to the Dropbox folder.

Everytime I pdflatex, the PDF is copied to the specified folder.

However, there is one more thing I would like to do: instead of putting it in
a specific folder, I have the PDF file be put in the same folder as the lyx
file is.

I have checked that when pdflated run the pdf viewer, only the path of the
temporary file is passed to SumatraView.bat.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the path of the lyx file?


The exporter does not get that information, only a copier.

I think this is a problem with Evince.  I just tried this (linking to both a PDF
and an ODS file).  LyX exported my document correctly (using pdflatex).  Opened
in Acrobat Reader, both links work correctly.  Opened in Evince, both links
produce the error message you got.

2012-03-31 Thread Thomas Coffee 
Hi Xu,

I notice your email shows up in the archive thread but mine does not,
and thus neither do the attachments. Any idea how to change this?

Here is a modified preferences file that preserves a pdflatex-only
update pathway, allowing the user to update the LaTeX only without
updating the Sage computations.

I will try emailing lyx-devel.

Thanks,
 Thomas

Thomas' attachments were sent to me and are in my "archive" (aka my GMail

I think we need to update this a bit. What you need to write is:
Jimmy|see[ERT]{[/ERT]Joe[ERT]}[/ERT]
where the ERT stuff means: put the brackets in ERT. The problem is that 
LyX is escaping the brackets for you, which is usually the right thing 
to do, but not here.

I've found it much, much, MUCH easier to do see and seealso entries in
a separate text file, and then add this to the document preamble:

\input{seealso.inc}

Here is the text of my (very short) seealso.inc for my book "The Key to
Everyday Excellence"


==
\index{UTP|see{Universal Troubleshooting Process}}
\index{Jim Barber|see{Barber (Jim)}}
\index{Scan and Exploit!To teach calculus|see{Calculus}}
\index{Justice Coalition!Design discussions|seealso{Skill Transfer 
Process->Targeted->Derivation of the Justice Coalition}}
==

When doing indices, see's and seealso's, be very, very careful of your
font encoding, or you'll get these errors caused by LyX's propensity to
replace pipe symbols with actual LaTeX code. This goes away if you use
T1 font encoding, but in LyX 2.x I can't find where you set that.
