The TWM I'm using is chunkwm (https://koekeishiya.github.io/chunkwm/). I've used a TWM (Spectrwm) with LyX on OpenBSD for more than 3 years without any difficulties. Before that I was on Linux using various TWMs, also without problems with LyX. Regards, Anthony -- Anthony Campbellhttp://www.acampbell.uk

Re: Tiling Window Manager Interaction with LyX
Den 08. aug. 2018 06:41, skrev Joel Kulesza: Colleagues, A co-worker recently prompted me to experiment with a tiling window manager (TWM) within macOS. I'm still evaluating how it fits in with my workflow. However, I've found that it periodically doesn't treat LyX as consistently as the other applications I commonly use. That is, the TWM inconsistently fails to properly tile LyX's window. Does anyone else use a TWM (either with macOS or another OS)? If so, have you experienced any odd behavior or is this a "feature" of the particular TWM application I'm using? Thank you, Joel P.S. The TWM I'm using is chunkwm (https://koekeishiya.github.io/chunkwm/). I use the tiling window manager spectrwm on Linux. Took some time getting used to the forced tiling, but there don't seem to be any LyX-specific problems. Occationally, some old app gets trouble with tiling; Some popup like search/save/message meant to be small is tiled, and forced to some crazy large size. Spectrwm gives the option of overriding the tiling in its config file. I use that to avoid tiling xclock. I haven't needed overrides for LyX. You may want to describe the exact problem, and post a screenshot. Maybe a mac-specific fix is needed, or perhaps the problem can be reported to chunkwm developers and fixed by them. Helge Hafting

It's just a matter of drilling down a couple of levels from there. There is a program aux2bib that will take the aux file and produce a bib file from it. Once you find the right temporary directory, you can run aux2bib in that directory. See https://ctan.org/pkg/bibtools. Riki Thats also good to know, its faster than using the Jabref method. Wolfgang

Wolfgang Wolfgang, Viewing the document in LyX causes LyX to run LaTeX, so those .eps files are probably being generated anyway. It's just that they'll be in the temp directory, and automatically deleted when you exit LyX. Paul

So your advice is indeed helpful Wolfgang
