You can also get the full path to the .lyx file using
\rfoot{\textrm{\tiny [EMAIL PROTECTED]
as [EMAIL PROTECTED] is set up by LyX in the latex file.

Yes, there is an easy way. Mark the Italian text that LyX mistakes for english. Then use the menu edit->text style (for lyx 1.4.x) or layout->tex (for lyx 1.3.x and earlier) You get a dialog box where one of the things you may change is language. Set it to "Italian" and you'll be fine. Next time, use this dialog as soon as the language goes wrong, thereby avoiding lots of text marked with the wrong language. Helge Hafting thanks, it worked...my problem was I didn't think I could find aome language setting in the text layout... Regards, Diego

You said that if you use File->Export->LaTeX and then run pdflatex manually, the document compiles correctly (nothing hangs), right? If so, then it shouldn't be the class file, because the same class file is being used in the manual run. If I'm wrong about exporting to LaTeX working, then that suggests either the class file or the document itself has something funny in it. If pdflatex is hanging while scanning the auxiliary file, it could be that the file is terminated incorrectly (so that pdflatex is waiting for more input), or it could be that something has a lock on the file (and pdflatex is waiting to begin reading it). Do you have labels and cross-references in the document? IIRC, the .aux file is also used for cross-references, not just citations. I'm not sure what one could do with a cross-reference that would cause pdflatex to hang -- missing labels would not cause that -- but perhaps if a label contains a non-latin character it might cause a problem. (I'm groping in a very dark place here.) /Paul

Surprisingly I found a fine pdf-file, correctly put together (the toc, normal text and bibliography). But LyX still hangs and needs to killed via process manager. The log-file doesn't report any problems. Further launching from the command line works well. Does the document contain graphics and, if so, are they intact in the pdf output file? Someone had a problem similar to this generating LaTeX output -- turned out to be something pplatex was doing in post-processing -- but I have not seen this with pdflatex. You might try the following: Open a DOS prompt in the LyX bin directory, and start LyX with 'lyx -dbg latex'. Then open the document and either export or view using pdflatex. The DOS window will get a lot of debugging output, but only the chunk just before the hang will be of interest. When the hang occurs, take a look in the task list and see if you can see pdflatex still running. The most likely explanation for LyX hanging would be that pdflatex never exits. (If it exited with an error code, I assume LyX would register that, although I can't swear that it would.) /Paul Well, I followed your suggestions and it seems that LyX hangs while pdflatex is scanning the .aux file (which contains the correct information if I open it manually).

There's no way to configure this without recompiling LyX. Another workaround would be to type a dumyy char, say 'x', go to fetch your data, come back, delete the x and insert the data. Andre'

I understand your point, Georg, however I do not see any way to insert epslatex pictures generated by Gnuplot but using ERT. If ERT is the only way left, then it seems that LyX should add a simpler and automatic way, likewise it already does with xfig figures. Paul

Probably mypicture.eps exists, but mypicture.pdf is missing. If you include
mypicture.eps with the graphics inset LyX will create the pdf version for
you. Or write an external template for gnuplot. I am actually surprised
that nobody did that yet.
Yes, Georg, you are right: mypicture.pdf was missing. If I previously
create the pdf file with
epstopdf mypicture.eps
then the problem is removed. Should I report that in bugzilla?

Re: Navigating in a big document
Elver Loho wrote: I was wondering... How do you guys navigate around in large files? I avoid large files ... because I avoid doing the amount of work needed to generate one. :-) I've got a 40-some page screenplay and working with it is a bit of a pain. It would be great if I could collapse scenes into just the scene header (int/ext) when not working directly with them. Sort of like most code editors allow. This may be clunky, but (assuming you have LyX 1.4.x) you could put each scene in a separate branch. Go to Document->Settings->Branches, type "Scene_1" (or whatever label you wish, but no spaces allowed) into the field labeled "New:", and click Add. Repeat ad nauseum. Then highlight each scene and click (De)activate. (I'm assuming that you want all scenes printed when you display/print/export the document.) You can optionally assign background colors to their boxes. Click OK when done. Now position the cursor where you want to enter a scene and click Insert->Branch->Scene_1 (or whichever scene label applies). Type the scene in the branch box. If you already have it typed, highlight it and then click Insert->Branch->Scene_1, and the highlighted text will be moved into the branch box. Branch boxes can be collapsed and expanded by clicking on them. When collapsed, the first few characters are displayed, so it might be helpful if your scenes started with meaningful labels. /Paul

I am not sure about screenplays and their structure, but about conveniently named menu Navigate? Does it work? Unfortunately the Navigation system does not recognise screenplay structure.

Problem with including a gnuplot picture
Dear All
As ERT, I have the following line in a LyX document:
\include{mypicture}
in order to include an epslatex picture drawn with Gnuplot. When
compiling the LyX document with pdflatex, I get the error message that
follows:
loading : Context Support Macros / PDF (2004.03.26)
) (./grafico.tex
! LaTeX Error: File `/home/psmith/Desktop/mypicture' not found.
There is no problem with 'View -> DVI'.
Any ideas?

Not easily. g-brief is not our package, we cannot simply change it (the LPPL, the license of the package, allows changes only if the file is distributed under a different name, e.g. g-brief-lyx.cls). However, in the documentation of g-brief, the developer states that even if he will not add any new features to the old g-brief class (in favour of g-brief2), he is still willing to fix bugs.
