The working directory is the directory LyX changes to on startup. The best thing one can do is to place all graphics files in the same directory or a sub directory of the referring document. All references should be made relative to your document. Then it's easy to share documents with associated graphics with other users. Regards, Stephan

Hi,
I'm using
\usepackage[style=nature,backend=biber]{biblatex}
but it puts the references directly in a row, without a comma/semicolon
in between.
Do I have to load an additional package?
I've tried natbib but it clashes.
Thanks
Bernd

I tried different changes in my document, by deleting and pasting different parts (whole sections, images or references). I still can not find the common reason why sometimes I get a pdf file and other times my program gets an error message. Thank you! Without seeing the file there is no way anyone can solve this problem. Please post it, and try deleting as much as you can while still getting the problem before you do. Richard
Re: Cross-reference "figure X" using newref in lyx 2.0 - newref command ignored - no "figure" in the pdf - example from the manual

The word "figure" should be included automatically. I read the manual
and tried the formatted cross-reference.
The example from the German manual (EmbeddedObjects, 3.4.1) is, which
is my whole preamble :
\newref{abb}{refcmd={Bild auf Seite \pageref{#1}}}
The shortcut I refer to is within the caption of the figure. I use a
formatted reference.
In the document preferences I have checked "Use refstyle (instead of
prettyref)...".
But in the pdf in just says "(3.1)".
Tested in lyx 2.0.0 and 2.0.4 using Ubuntu 11.10.
How can I accomplish this?
Please post a stripped down, minimal file exhibiting the problem. E.g,
one figure, one cross-reference, not much else.

working directory cannot find graphics files
Hello- I am using lyx 2.0 under Mac Lion and I have a problem with the working directory and pathnames to files. As I understand it, if you set the working directory to a folder named, say, /Users/Tom/My_folder, then you can omit the full pathnames when you insert graphics, etc. This is really needed because otherwise, it becomes terribly hard to share lyx documents and associated graphics files among different users. When I give the full pathname to graphics files in the Insert Graphics screen, all is fine. But when I set the path to the working directory in preferences and the file name in the graphic setting, lyx can't find the file. I would be very grateful for suggestions on how to fix this. Many thanks. Tom Hobbs

Lyz path not working in Ubuntu or Windows
A couple of months ago a power surge fried my laptop. I now have a new laptop with a dual-boot Ubuntu 12.04 / Windows 7 setup. Lyx 2.0.3, Firefox 14.01 with Lyz 2.1.4 & Zotero 3.0.8 . Since then I have not been doing anything with LyX and just noticed that I cannot sent citations from Zotero to Lyx. I have tried setting the path using: ubuntu /home/john/lyx/.lyxpipe /home/john/.lyxpipe Windows \\.\pipe\lyxpipe I am very new to Linux and thought my path might be wrong but the \\.\pipe\lyxpipe has worked for me n previous 1.6.7 and 2.x.x in Windows. Error message starts out as: "Exception ...component returned failure code 0x8052001" (Ubuntu and either same or similar under windows and continued on to say "Could not contact server at \\.\pipe\lyxpipe. Just as a precaution I have done a reconfigure and rebooted LyX after each path change in Ubuntu and Windows. Any suggestions on where I'm going wrong? I should point out that I don't seem to be having any problem with Openoffice.org 3.0.3 under Windows or with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 with Zotero. Thanks.
Re: How to protect text
You should better post here a minimal example file, i.e. LyX file with a sentence that is causing you problems. When I copy the one you cited here to a LyX document, it successfully compiles.
