Re: Beamer and font size
Finally!!! Thanks Paul for the code sample. I had to move the titlegraphic line to the preamble (don't know why) and to use graphicx package for both titlegraphics and logo, with a PNG file. One last thing, the file compiles flawlessly with PDFLATEX but gives tons of errors with PS2PDF. I believe the errors come from an imposibility of finding the size of the image for each slide, two errors per slide. Can anybody confirm this situation? Should I report a bug? On 2/14/07, Paul A.

math-macro and inline editing
Hi! I want to make heavy use of math-macros to create type inference rules using proof.sty. I defined some macros using the \frac construct in the right box of the math-macro definition as preview, with several arguments #1, #2, ... In the left box I use the corresponding commands from proof.sty. Everything looks great until I try to edit the arguments of the macro: LyX jumps into a third representation with several line prefixed with #1, #2 to enter the arguments. Is it supposed to work like that? Especially if you nest math-macros in your formulas this style of editing makes it unusable because you easily completely loose track of the structure of your formula. Why isn't LyX using my preview definition for the macro with some placeholder boxes as the arguments? Although I don't know LyX's rendering code, it doesn't look to be much more complicated. But maybe I am wrong. Regards Stefan
[announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.4.4
Hello LyXers, I published a new Windows installer version for LyX 1.4.4: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=12226 More infos about this installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller The most impotant changes in this installer version are: - The small installer version does not ship GSView anymore - The complete installer version offers to install JabRef, a BibTeX database manager - This know problem is now fixed with the new MiKTeX version that comes together with this installer: LyX's package and class database is incomplete when you don't have an open internet connection while LyX is first started. (This is a bug in MiKTeX.) Workaround: open an internet connection and reconfigure LyX This kills the textclass not found problem. Please report me if you still have this problem. !You don't need to reinstall MiKTeX to benefit from the fix, the installer will ask you to update MiKTeX. Press Yes when this question is shown and that's it. --- Here is the complete installer changelog: - update to LyX 1.4.4 - update to MiKTeX 2.5.2580 - update to ImageMagick 6.3.2-5 - GSView is no longer shipped with the small installer version - existing Python installation is now only used for LyX when it is Python 2.5 (some Compaq and Dell computers are delivered with outdated Python interpreters) - fix crash when viewing PDF when Adobe Reader/Acrobat 8 is used - fix that complete installer version proposed to install GSview when it is already installed - fix bug that installed Ghostscript is not always recognized - fix bug that other PDF viewers then Acrobat/Adobe Reader and GSView weren't recognized - updated Readme files for the installer sourcecode: - mention the Galician translation files for NSIS - mention the required NSIS-package InetLoad - require NSIS 2.22 to create the installer Thanks to Ramon Flores: - updated Spanish and Portuguese translation and new Galician translation of the installer Thanks to Christian Ridderström: - updated Swedish translation of the installer Thanks to Gisela Stöhr: - updated Slovak translation of the installer Thanks to Szõke Sándor: - updated Hungarian translation of the installer Thanks to Edwin Leuven: - updated Dutch translation of the installer Thanks to Allesandro Garberi: - updated Italian translation of the installer This is now fixed in the included MiKTeX version!: - LyX's package and class database is incomplete when you don't have an open internet connection while LyX is first started. (This is a bug in MiKTeX.) Workaround: open an internet connection and reconfigure LyX --- best regards Uwe p.s. the complete installer version should be available within two hours.

LyX nightmare
Hi all, I had a LyX nightmare last night. A couple lines at the end of a page ran way off the right margin and off the paper. There was no problem on the following page. So I investigated. None of the usual suspects was at fault. There were no URLs on the line. There were no incredibly long words. The header immediately above these two lines was short and had nothing strange, but I suspected it was the header. Then former president Bill Clinton joined me in troubleshooting. He hypothesized that the problem was in my mouse and took it apart. Then Clinton shrank himself so he could go inside the mouse, and the mouse magically transformed itself into a garage with a garage door opener. Clinton manipulated the mouse ball, which now looked like some sort of huge, round, childs-toy version of an alien spacecraft. After a thorough investigation, he showed me exactly where the mouse ball was leaking, stating that the leak still allowed the mouse to go up and down, but prevented side to side motion, and this indeed was the cause of the two lines going off the right side of the paper. Clinton finished the repair, closed the garage door and left. Only after he left did I discover that something was disconnected or missing, and I couldn't operate the garage door at all, therefore couldn't use my mouse and couldn't use LyX correctly. This put me in a state of terror, from which I woke up and immediately wrote this down. LyX is good, but it's not the software of my dreams. Thank goodness.

Math fonts problem when upgrading to 1.4.4

Re: [announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.4.4
Hi Uwe, thank you very much for the new version! Using the small Windows installer package (since MikTeX, ImageMagick etc installed already), after Installation under W2k and WinXP, starting v.1.4.4 opens two windows now, first what appears to be a DOS-Box (probably cmd) and the LyXapplication itself Now, after some output, the DOS-Box stays open. And it will stay open unless one closes it, and also it will re-appear again after restarting of LyX. Or after closing it and then doing a reconfigure from the LyX app itself. This happens on two different machines (W2k and WinXP). Is this behaviour/appearance of a permanent (unless one closes it deliberately) additional DosBox/Cmd window intentional?

Business Letter With Logo
In January 2006 there was a long thread on using the KOMA-Script scrlttr2
class for business letters with logos. While Paul wanted the logo in the
left margin (and that was a majority of the thread), I want it centered on
the top of the first page. Subsequent pages should have (as the left
header): recipients name\\
date\\
page {pageno}
which I believe can be done using the 'myheader' style.
I've read Chapter 6 in the scrguien manual and have tried to implement
what I read. It's not working for me.
Below is what I have so far. I'd appreciate someone who has more knowledge
than do I take a look and tell me what I've missed. The logo pdf file is
attached.
TIA,
Rich

Re: math-macro and inline editing
Why isn't LyX using my preview definition for the macro with some placeholder boxes as the arguments? Navigation between the arguments is non-obvious. Macro arguments can be used more than once. But as I understand the second part of the macro is the editing template. That uses a usual formula with some holes. If I had typed the same formula manually there would be some navigation logic. Why can't that used here as well, just with some parts being unchangeable because they belong to the template. And even if you just number the holes of the templates and let the cursor jump from n to n+1 and n-1 by left and right would be ok. Don't really see a problem here. As Jean-Marc wrote, if an argument appear more than once, just update all of the appearances. Schimmi

It is unable toplace the figure properly. All my pdf figures are placed such that only a fraction of it appears and the rest looks clipped off the page. This never happened before. I know that I have not changed my pdf graphics, because I reinstalled LyX143 and everything was normal again. Even the alpha version LyX150 is handling them correctly. The problem seems to be with this version. A few mintues ago, the official version of LyX144 appeared on http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows. I quickly installed it, but that made no difference.

Re: Error message: Error opening PDF file with new lyx-144-1.exe

I wanted to create a pdf with pdflatex and the result was an error window: PDF viewer: Error opening PDF file Are you using Acrobat 8 or Adobe Reader 8 as default PDF viewer?

Feature request: minimize sections
I like the ability to reduce figures, tables, and evil red text to a grey box that can be clicked to restore it to full size. I think it would make sense to extend this to chapters and sections: there could be a small minimize button next to the heading, which would cause the text to be replaced by a grey box with the heading number and title. Clicking on the box would restore the full text. Thanks for your work, Walter Ogburn

math-macro and inline editing
Hi! I want to make heavy use of math-macros to create type inference rules using proof.sty. I defined some macros using the \frac construct in the right box of the math-macro definition as preview, with several arguments #1, #2, ... In the left box I use the corresponding commands from proof.sty. Everything looks great until I try to edit the arguments of the macro: LyX jumps into a third representation with several line prefixed with #1, #2 to enter the arguments. Is it supposed to work like that? Especially if you nest math-macros in your formulas this style of editing makes it unusable because you easily completely loose track of the structure of your formula. Why isn't LyX using my preview definition for the macro with some placeholder boxes as the arguments? Although I don't know LyX's rendering code, it doesn't look to be much more complicated. But maybe I am wrong. Regards Stefan
[announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.4.4
Hello LyXers, I published a new Windows installer version for LyX 1.4.4: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=12226 More infos about this installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller The most impotant changes in this installer version are: - The small installer version does not ship GSView anymore - The complete installer version offers to install JabRef, a BibTeX database manager - This know problem is now fixed with the new MiKTeX version that comes together with this installer: LyX's package and class database is incomplete when you don't have an open internet connection while LyX is first started. (This is a bug in MiKTeX.) Workaround: open an internet connection and reconfigure LyX This kills the textclass not found problem. Please report me if you still have this problem. !You don't need to reinstall MiKTeX to benefit from the fix, the installer will ask you to update MiKTeX. Press Yes when this question is shown and that's it. --- Here is the complete installer changelog: - update to LyX 1.4.4 - update to MiKTeX 2.5.2580 - update to ImageMagick 6.3.2-5 - GSView is no longer shipped with the small installer version - existing Python installation is now only used for LyX when it is Python 2.5 (some Compaq and Dell computers are delivered with outdated Python interpreters) - fix crash when viewing PDF when Adobe Reader/Acrobat 8 is used - fix that complete installer version proposed to install GSview when it is already installed - fix bug that installed Ghostscript is not always recognized - fix bug that other PDF viewers then Acrobat/Adobe Reader and GSView weren't recognized - updated Readme files for the installer sourcecode: - mention the Galician translation files for NSIS - mention the required NSIS-package InetLoad - require NSIS 2.22 to create the installer Thanks to Ramon Flores: - updated Spanish and Portuguese translation and new Galician translation of the installer Thanks to Christian Ridderström: - updated Swedish translation of the installer Thanks to Gisela Stöhr: - updated Slovak translation of the installer Thanks to Szõke Sándor: - updated Hungarian translation of the installer Thanks to Edwin Leuven: - updated Dutch translation of the installer Thanks to Allesandro Garberi: - updated Italian translation of the installer This is now fixed in the included MiKTeX version!: - LyX's package and class database is incomplete when you don't have an open internet connection while LyX is first started.

LyX nightmare
Hi all, I had a LyX nightmare last night. A couple lines at the end of a page ran way off the right margin and off the paper. There was no problem on the following page. So I investigated. None of the usual suspects was at fault. There were no URLs on the line. There were no incredibly long words. The header immediately above these two lines was short and had nothing strange, but I suspected it was the header. Then former president Bill Clinton joined me in troubleshooting. He hypothesized that the problem was in my mouse and took it apart. Then Clinton shrank himself so he could go inside the mouse, and the mouse magically transformed itself into a garage with a garage door opener. Clinton manipulated the mouse ball, which now looked like some sort of huge, round, childs-toy version of an alien spacecraft. After a thorough investigation, he showed me exactly where the mouse ball was leaking, stating that the leak still allowed the mouse to go up and down, but prevented side to side motion, and this indeed was the cause of the two lines going off the right side of the paper. Clinton finished the repair, closed the garage door and left. Only after he left did I discover that something was disconnected or missing, and I couldn't operate the garage door at all, therefore couldn't use my mouse and couldn't use LyX correctly. This put me in a state of terror, from which I woke up and immediately wrote this down. LyX is good, but it's not the software of my dreams. Thank goodness.

Math fonts problem when upgrading to 1.4.4

Re: [announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.4.4
Hi Uwe, thank you very much for the new version! Using the small Windows installer package (since MikTeX, ImageMagick etc installed already), after Installation under W2k and WinXP, starting v.1.4.4 opens two windows now, first what appears to be a DOS-Box (probably cmd) and the LyXapplication itself Now, after some output, the DOS-Box stays open. And it will stay open unless one closes it, and also it will re-appear again after restarting of LyX. Or after closing it and then doing a reconfigure from the LyX app itself. This happens on two different machines (W2k and WinXP). Is this behaviour/appearance of a permanent (unless one closes it deliberately) additional DosBox/Cmd window intentional?

Business Letter With Logo
In January 2006 there was a long thread on using the KOMA-Script scrlttr2
class for business letters with logos. While Paul wanted the logo in the
left margin (and that was a majority of the thread), I want it centered on
the top of the first page. Subsequent pages should have (as the left
header): recipients name\\
date\\
page {pageno}
which I believe can be done using the 'myheader' style.
I've read Chapter 6 in the scrguien manual and have tried to implement
what I read. It's not working for me.
Below is what I have so far. I'd appreciate someone who has more knowledge
than do I take a look and tell me what I've missed. The logo pdf file is
attached.
TIA,
Rich

Re: math-macro and inline editing
Why isn't LyX using my preview definition for the macro with some placeholder boxes as the arguments? Navigation between the arguments is non-obvious. Macro arguments can be used more than once. But as I understand the second part of the macro is the editing template. That uses a usual formula with some holes. If I had typed the same formula manually there would be some navigation logic. Why can't that used here as well, just with some parts being unchangeable because they belong to the template. And even if you just number the holes of the templates and let the cursor jump from n to n+1 and n-1 by left and right would be ok. Don't really see a problem here. As Jean-Marc wrote, if an argument appear more than once, just update all of the appearances. Schimmi

But that did not help either. I ticked the option vector format in the format preferences. Something must be wrong with this new LyX build, because the qualtity is not the only problem. It is unable toplace the figure properly. All my pdf figures are placed such that only a fraction of it appears and the rest looks clipped off the page. This never happened before. I know that I have not changed my pdf graphics, because I reinstalled LyX143 and everything was normal again. Even the alpha version LyX150 is handling them correctly. The problem seems to be with this version. A few mintues ago, the official version of LyX144 appeared on http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows. I quickly installed it, but that made no difference. This is really frustrating, because I don't want to use the old-fashioned eps at all. Mukhtar
Re: AW: How to center graphics in Lyx?
Notwithstanding, I remember Herbert Voss electing the '\centering' solution as the best one. He seems to be very good at this, so why did he say this? I can't remember if I have ever had any problem with the paragraph justification solution.

Error message: Error opening PDF file with new lyx-144-1.exe
Thanks for the new version! But I have some problems with the new LyX for Windows. I wanted to create a pdf with pdflatex and the result was an error window: PDF viewer: Error opening PDF file The other options ps2pdf, dvipdfm don't work either, but simple ps-files or DVI's are possible. I tried to convert pdf's from several .lyx-files, but even files with one letter don't work. Before I have used lyx-143-5.exe and it has worked fine. I use Windows XP. Thanks for any help on this issue!

I also recently installed 1.4.4 on XP and I had to change the PDF(ps2pdf), PDF(pdflatex), and PDF(dvipdfm) file formats to 'PDFViewWin8.cmd' because I am using adobe reader 8 rather than 7. The file formats are under Tools-Preference-File formats. Don't know if that is the problem. Bob
Re: [announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.4.4
Tom Schlangen schrieb: Now, after some output, the DOS-Box stays open. And it will stay open unless one closes it, and also it will re-appear again after restarting of LyX. This console will stay open together with LyX's main Window. Closing this window also closes LyX. The official installer use a special wrapper programm to hide the console window. Until this solution is not official it's not included. regards Uwe

LyX 1.4.4 installation hangs, please help

Feature request: minimize sections
I like the ability to reduce figures, tables, and evil red text to a grey box that can be clicked to restore it to full size. I think it would make sense to extend this to chapters and sections: there could be a small minimize button next to the heading, which would cause the text to be replaced by a grey box with the heading number and title. Clicking on the box would restore the full text. Thanks for your work, Walter Ogburn

Re: Beamer and font size
Finally!!! Thanks Paul for the code sample. I had to move the "titlegraphic" line to the preamble (don't know why) and to use "graphicx" package for both "titlegraphics" and "logo", with a PNG file. One last thing, the file compiles flawlessly with PDFLATEX but gives tons of errors with PS2PDF. I believe the errors come from an imposibility of finding the size of the image for each slide, two errors per slide. Can anybody confirm this situation? Should I report a bug? On 2/14/07, Paul A. Rubin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Julio Rojas wrote: > Well, it doesn't work here... Not from LyX, nor from TeXnicCenter... > Maybe the extension for the graphic file is required? Seems to me \includegraphics wants extensions and \pgfuseimage doesn't (not sure, though). I've cobbled together a small example (LyX file, PNG graphic, PDF output). GMANE won't let me post it to the list (too large, apparently), so I've placed it on a web server at http://www.msu.edu/~rubin/lyx/.

math-macro and inline editing
Hi! I want to make heavy use of math-macros to create type inference rules using proof.sty. I defined some macros using the \frac construct in the right box of the math-macro definition as preview, with several arguments #1, #2, ... In the left box I use the corresponding commands from proof.sty. Everything looks great until I try to edit the arguments of the macro: LyX jumps into a third representation with several line prefixed with #1, #2 to enter the arguments. Is it supposed to work like that? Especially if you nest math-macros in your formulas this style of editing makes it unusable because you easily completely loose track of the structure of your formula. Why isn't LyX using my preview definition for the macro with some placeholder boxes as the arguments? Although I don't know LyX's rendering code, it doesn't look to be much more complicated. But maybe I am wrong. Regards Stefan
[announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.4.4
Hello LyXers, I published a new Windows installer version for LyX 1.4.4: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117_id=12226 More infos about this installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller The most impotant changes in this installer version are: - The small installer version does not ship GSView anymore - The complete installer version offers to install JabRef, a BibTeX database manager - This know problem is now fixed with the new MiKTeX version that comes together with this installer: LyX's package and class database is incomplete when you don't have an open internet connection while LyX is first started. (This is a bug in MiKTeX.) Workaround: open an internet connection and reconfigure LyX This kills the textclass not found problem. Please report me if you still have this problem. !You don't need to reinstall MiKTeX to benefit from the fix, the installer will ask you to update MiKTeX. Press Yes when this question is shown and that's it. --- Here is the complete installer changelog: - update to LyX 1.4.4 - update to MiKTeX 2.5.2580 - update to ImageMagick 6.3.2-5 - GSView is no longer shipped with the small installer version - existing Python installation is now only used for LyX when it is Python 2.5 (some Compaq and Dell computers are delivered with outdated Python interpreters) - fix crash when viewing PDF when Adobe Reader/Acrobat 8 is used - fix that complete installer version proposed to install GSview when it is already installed - fix bug that installed Ghostscript is not always recognized - fix bug that other PDF viewers then Acrobat/Adobe Reader and GSView weren't recognized - updated Readme files for the installer sourcecode: - mention the Galician translation files for NSIS - mention the required NSIS-package "InetLoad" - require NSIS 2.22 to create the installer Thanks to Ramon Flores: - updated Spanish and Portuguese translation and new Galician translation of the installer Thanks to Christian Ridderström: - updated Swedish translation of the installer Thanks to Gisela Stöhr: - updated Slovak translation of the installer Thanks to Szõke Sándor: - updated Hungarian translation of the installer Thanks to Edwin Leuven: - updated Dutch translation of the installer Thanks to Allesandro Garberi: - updated Italian translation of the installer This is now fixed in the included MiKTeX version!: - LyX's package and class database is incomplete when you don't have an open internet connection while LyX is first started.
