Stephan,

I was able to make changes to the corresponding code for the English option in 
g-brief.cls without any problem. (For some reason LyX wouldn’t acknowledge the 
“german” option for the class even if I changed my language default to German 
so I wasn’t able to test exactly your desired changes.) You don’t say what the 
error was that you got but I’m wondering if perhaps you changed a bit too much: 
In line 207 of g-brief.cls one finds:

\def\BLZ#1{\def\blz{#1}} \def\blz{}

If you happened to change that occurrence of “BLZ” to “BIC” you will definitely 
generate an error.

Re: Tutorial sample files

[justin]

 On the Mac installation, they get buried inside of the app package.
 
 Find LyX.app in your applications folder
 Right click on it and select show package contentsThe go to Contents -
Resources - examples
 It might be a good idea to copy the folder to somewhere more convenient
outside of the app if you are going to use them often.
 
 hope that helps
 Steve
 
 
 

I am using Mac OS 10.9 and this trick does not work. Doing show package
contents shows an empty folder! Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Tutorial sample files

A completely empty folder? Or a folder containing a folder named 'Contents'?

Thanks for coming back so quickly! Completely empty. Nothing in it
whatsoever. That's what it shows using that method anyway. I would really
love to find it, so I can learn to use lyx!

Re: Tutorial sample files

[Richard Talley]

That's a stumper - an empty app would have nothing to run. If LyX actually
runs, then the app can't possibly be empty.

In OS X, the Finder presents an app as a single file, but it's actually an
application bundle that contains the executable and other resources (in the
case of LyX the other resources include the example files). You access its
contents using the 'show package contents' command as Stephen specified
previously. That's been true since OS X 10.0, more than a dozen years ago.
(And well before that, in NeXTSTEP, from which OS X is derived.)

I would suggest having a technically adept friend look at your
installation, or asking at your local Apple User Group (use this site to
find your local AUG: http://appleusergroupresources.com), or making a
Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store.

Do you know anyone who has had this method work on the new Mac OS? I have
been searching the internet for a solution, but I have not found anyone
reporting if it works or not on OX 10.9. Perhaps they changed things with
this new OS? The app itself is working, so maybe it is just keeping
everything invisible. I am not technically proficient, so I do not know what
else to do.

Or is there anywhere we can just download the files which will help us learn
to use lyx?

Thank you!

Re: Tutorial sample files

[Richard Talley]

I'm not quite ready to upgrade to Mavericks, but this technique is so
fundamental to how OS X has worked since the very beginning I can't see
Apple removing it. My search also came up empty on your issue.

Try this instead:

Open a Finder window, pull down the 'Go' menu and choose the 'Go to
Folder...' command.

Enter this in the resulting 'Go to the folder:' dialog box (note that this
is case sensitive):

/Applications/LyX.app/Contents

If you know the filename, why don't you access a command prompt and

I guess theoretically you might have to install some stuff to do that,
