How do you add a converter?

2013-06-28 Thread Eric Weir 

I'm in the process of getting set up on a new computer. I want to add a 
converter for Scrivener that was given to me here that I have on the 
installation on the old computer, but the add button for doing that is greyed 
out. Thought maybe if  I had a file open it would become available, but not so.

So, how do I add a converter?

First put in your settings (From format, To format, Converter,
etc.), then click add.

Open a new file, use Document  Settings  Language to set your preferred
peculiar dialect of English and click Save as Document Defaults. The UI
setting is just that -- it governs the user interface. File  New uses
whatever your recorded document defaults are.

Changing the size of insets' labels. Is it possible?

2013-06-28 Thread stefano franchi 
I'd like to shorten the size of the onscreen label for various insets
(Label Index and so on), as I find them very distracting when writing.
I vaguely remember a discussion about this, but I cannot find any trace of
it in the lists, or on Google, or in the customization manual. Perhaps I am
not searching for the right terms.

Memory aides appreciated


Cheers,

Stefano

Open LyX 2.0.6/Resources/layouts/stdinsets.inc in a text editor and 
change the LabelString value for the relevant inset(s). I also find 
(having just tested it) that if I save the modified stdinsets.inc under 
that name to my personal LyX2.0/Layouts folder, so that it isn't 
overwritten when LyX is updated, then next time I start LyX the revised 
LabelString values are used.
