error on View [Ctrl-R]: The directory path to the document cannot contain spaces

[Roel Schipper - CITG]

Hi fellow Lyx-fans,

I just successfully installed 2.0.6 for Windows 7, after having used 2.0.0 for 
a long time without problems.
When I tried to view the PDF of a document that worked OK until yesterday, I 
get the message:
The directory path to the document cannot contain spaces.

[cid:image001.png@01CE7BDC.AE32F600]

My path is:
D:\roelschipper\SkyDrive\Documenten\TU-onderzoek\papers-promotie\publicaties RS 
- concept\thesis\2013-06-22 thesis v3.1.lyx

Anyone a clue?

kindly,

I would assume that your MikTeX installation is broken, but I am not a MikTeX

Thanks,

Still funny however that it worked under 2.0.0 with the same MikTeX 
distribution.
I used the small installation of LyX, so I did not replace MikTeX.

Kindly,
Roel

lyx cannot be opened in maverick os 10.9

Lyx will not open in the latest preview of the maverick. Does anybody know why?

View PDF Images in LyX

[unchris]

Hi there!



Can you tell me if there is a possibility to show PDFs which are inserted by Insert - Image in LyX?

Which converter do I need? LyX said that the conversion fails. In German: Fehler bei der Konvertierung in ein darstellbares Format.

I tried this: http://michael.orlitzky.com/articles/fixing_pdf_graphics_in_lyx.php - but it wont work :-(



Thanks a lot!

No. You are the first to report that :)

1. What version of LyX did you try?
2. It did open in the previous preview of the maverick?
3. What's the error message?

Re: lyx cannot be opened in maverick os 10.9

I use the latest version.

I am not sure if lyx worked in the former version of maverick (preview 1),
but it worked fine in mountain lion. There is no error message. It just
doesn't open.

Presumably it is possible to try to launch from the command line? Any

You might delete your user directory (Help  About LyX will give you the

directory to be rebuilt).

LyXHTML, design intent?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I'm making a postprocessor to make the output of LyX's LyXHTML
xhtml export more compatible with ePub. Before I code my postprocessor,
I'd like to know the design intent of the LyXHTML exporter, so I don't
accidentally throw away a good thing.

First, I notice every container start tag is followed by an anchor with
an id like magicparlabel-1140, like this:

div class=standarda id='magicparlabel-1140' /

1) What was the reason you gave an a to every container?
2) Why did you use an a instead of
   div class=standard id='magicparlabel-1140'
3) Why did you use doublequotes in the class, but singlequotes in the
   a id?

I have some questions about your mapping in xhtml exports of sectional
type environments to h1-h6. On the conversion of my book, Part and
Chapter both map to h1, with Section mapping to h2, Subsection to
h3, and so on. Did you do that so you wouldn't run past h6? If not,
what was the reason? 

By the way, I've written code to put them in the order desired by the
person doing the conversion. It probably wouldn't be hard to modify my
code so anything lower than h6 would get mapped to div class=h7,
etc.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for, in your xhtml conversion, passing
through every single environment and character style I used in my
book, and making CSS styles for them. That's a class act, and the single
most important thing in converting to ePub. The person doing the
conversion can pretty much kludge, freelance and hack everything else,
but those other exports that drop styles on the floor or prematurely
convert them to appearance make it easier to just write the whole thing
over again in HTML. This one feature of eLyXer's xhtml conversion, so
rare among converters, make any other hassles completely liveable.

Thanks,

SteveT

lyx cannot be opened in maverick os 10.9

Lyx will not open in the latest preview of the maverick. Does anybody know why?

View PDF Images in LyX

[unchris]

Hi there!



Can you tell me if there is a possibility to show PDFs which are inserted by Insert - Image in LyX?

Which converter do I need? LyX said that the conversion fails. In German: Fehler bei der Konvertierung in ein darstellbares Format.

I tried this: http://michael.orlitzky.com/articles/fixing_pdf_graphics_in_lyx.php - but it wont work :-(



Thanks a lot!

1. What version of LyX did you try?

I am not sure if lyx worked in the former version of maverick (preview 1),

You might delete your user directory (Help  About LyX will give you the

directory to be rebuilt).

LyXHTML, design intent?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I'm making a postprocessor to make the output of LyX's LyXHTML
xhtml export more compatible with ePub. Before I code my postprocessor,
I'd like to know the design intent of the LyXHTML exporter, so I don't
accidentally throw away a good thing.

First, I notice every container start tag is followed by an anchor with
an id like magicparlabel-1140, like this:

div class=standarda id='magicparlabel-1140' /

1) What was the reason you gave an a to every container?
2) Why did you use an a instead of
   div class=standard id='magicparlabel-1140'
3) Why did you use doublequotes in the class, but singlequotes in the
   a id?

I have some questions about your mapping in xhtml exports of sectional
type environments to h1-h6. On the conversion of my book, Part and
Chapter both map to h1, with Section mapping to h2, Subsection to
h3, and so on. Did you do that so you wouldn't run past h6? If not,
what was the reason? 

By the way, I've written code to put them in the order desired by the
person doing the conversion. It probably wouldn't be hard to modify my
code so anything lower than h6 would get mapped to div class=h7,
etc.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for, in your xhtml conversion, passing
through every single environment and character style I used in my
book, and making CSS styles for them. That's a class act, and the single
most important thing in converting to ePub. The person doing the
conversion can pretty much kludge, freelance and hack everything else,
but those other exports that drop styles on the floor or prematurely
convert them to appearance make it easier to just write the whole thing
over again in HTML. This one feature of eLyXer's xhtml conversion, so
rare among converters, make any other hassles completely liveable.

Thanks,

SteveT

error on View [Ctrl-R]: The directory path to the document cannot contain spaces

[Roel Schipper - CITG]

Hi fellow Lyx-fans,

I just successfully installed 2.0.6 for Windows 7, after having used 2.0.0 for 
a long time without problems.
When I tried to view the PDF of a document that worked OK until yesterday, I 
get the message:
"The directory path to the document cannot contain spaces."

My path is:

Anyone a clue?

or Windows user myself, so maybe others can help.

lyx cannot be opened in maverick os 10.9

[Rud]

Lyx will not open in the latest preview of the maverick. Does anybody know why?

View PDF Images in LyX

[unchris]

Hi there!

 

Can you tell me if there is a possibility to show PDFs which are inserted by Insert -> Image in LyX?

Which converter do I need? LyX said that the conversion fails. In German: "Fehler bei der Konvertierung in ein darstellbares Format".

I tried this: http://michael.orlitzky.com/articles/fixing_pdf_graphics_in_lyx.php - but it won't work :-(

 

Thanks a lot!

Christoph

No. You are the first to report that :)

1. What version of LyX did you try?
2. It did open in the previous preview of the maverick?
3. What's the error message?

I use the latest version.

I am not sure if lyx worked in the former version of maverick (preview 1),
but it worked fine in mountain lion. There is no error message. It just
doesn't open.

I don't have maverick. So there's nothing I can do about it, ATM.

Did you check if it's a problem with Gatekeeper?

Presumably it is possible to try to launch from the command line? Any 
info there?

Re: Install not working on Win7pro 64bit

You might delete your user directory (Help > About LyX will give you the
path) and everything under it, then start LyX (which should cause the
directory to be rebuilt).

LyXHTML, design intent?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I'm making a postprocessor to make the output of LyX's LyXHTML
xhtml export more compatible with ePub. Before I code my postprocessor,
I'd like to know the design intent of the LyXHTML exporter, so I don't
accidentally throw away a good thing.

First, I notice every container start tag is followed by an anchor with
an id like "magicparlabel-1140", like this:



1) What was the reason you gave an  to every container?
2) Why did you use an  instead of
   
3) Why did you use doublequotes in the class, but singlequotes in the
id?

I have some questions about your mapping in xhtml exports of sectional
type environments to -. On the conversion of my book, Part and
Chapter both map to , with Section mapping to , Subsection to
, and so on. Did you do that so you wouldn't run past ? If not,
what was the reason? 

By the way, I've written code to put them in the order desired by the
person doing the conversion. It probably wouldn't be hard to modify my
code so anything lower than  would get mapped to http://www.troubleshooters.com/
