The only way for default.ui to have gotten into ~/Library/Application Support is for you to have copied it there. Now you might have done so in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.4, and when you ran the installer to upgrade to LyX-1.5 it automatically moved everything over. But that's as it should be: LyX will try its best to preserve your setup (though if you run the LyX-1.5 installer, you'll note the warning it throws up about .bind and .ui files that may be incompatible with the new version).

Dear Everyone, Thank Thomas for a good suggestion. I used Foxit Reader as a pdf viewer. Now I change back to Adobe Reader and I work perfectly. I don't know why.

Is there any way to either bind keyboard shortcuts or get buttons for the kinds of text I use the most? It's the browsing in the list that annoys me. There are shortcuts for some environments (particularly M-p s to get back to the standard environment), but there are too many environments to give them all shortcuts. I agree with you about mousing over to the list. What I use is M-p space, which opens the list. Then type the first letter of what you want. When there are multiple environments starting with the same letter, you can either keep banging on that letter (it will cycle through them) or type the first few letters (if you're fast enough -- if you pause between letters one and two, LyX will think letter two is the first letter of what you really want). /Paul

Often I want to just read an existing document, but sometimes I can inadvertently push some key or paste some text residing on the clipboard. I was just wondering if LyX could open these documents as read only from the start, avoiding such mishaps. Of course I could always tinker with the file attributes, but I'd like to avoid that too, if possible.

Re: Installer improvement (was Lyx 1.5.1Spellchecker error)
I am not criticizing the installer. The first time I install LyX was a pain in the a%s#s. Now it is wonderful! In my case it is only me who uses my machine, but I am a mess, and sometimes I choose all users, other times the current user (it depends on the weather! ;-)) What I was trying to say is that the installer could include a warning about the potential problem. That is, once the installer proceeds to the installation of Aspell and/or the dictionaries, a dialog could be shown saying something like: "If you have a previous installation of Aspell, be aware of bla, bla, bla. If you experience this, please check the wiki at ..." It would then be much easier for the user to solve the problem. Cheers, Nicolás Joost Verburg wrote: Nicolás wrote: I experienced exactly the same problem. In my case LyX was using the version installed for all users (I guess it depends on the option you choose when installing LyX). I think the installer should warn about this situation. Ideally, the installer should be able to install the dictionaries in the right directory. The installer installs the dictionaries for all users if LyX is installed for all users and for the current user if LyX is only installed for the current user. If you install LyX for all users but have an additional copy of Aspell for the current user, LyX will use the current user version of Aspell. This allows you to use install dictionaries that have not been installed by the system administrator. So the installer does the right thing. The only problem is that some users were not aware of a previously installed current user version of Aspell. I think this is likely the case because installation of Aspell used to be quite problematic before the current system was created, so users often tried a few things before it worked right. Joost

Re: Lyx 1.5.1 can't show preview in pdf
Using the PDFViewWin.exe (and related files) that come with Uwe's installer (v1.5.1) I experience the following: - Acrobat Standard 7.0: PDF-View works fine. To update the view, I run again PDF-View. The document is updated in Acrobat and sometimes, but only sometimes, the updated document is shown from the page I was previously visualizing. - Acrobat Reader 8.1: The same as before, but when updating the document is always shown from the first page. Concerning Acrobat 8.x, due to a bug in these Acrobat versions you can't show the updated file at the last visited page. I contacted Adobe about this and you can find posts in mailing lists where people also complain about this. But I cannot do much about this. Try to go back to Acrobat 7.x and it works as expected. As I said, your solution does not work always fine with Acrobat Standard 7.0. If the LyX document is the only one opened in Acrobat, everything is ok. However, if there are other documents opened in Acrobat, the LyX document is updated, but it is shown from the first page. Cheers, Nicolás

Re: Lyx 1.5.1 can't show preview in pdf
The PDFViewWin.exe is there to be able to update PDFs that are open in Acrobat. Unfortunately there is a bug in Acroread 8.0.x that opened files could not be closed. We therefore built in a workaround. It seems that this workaraound doesn't work with Adobe Reader 8.1. I'll check this. You can remove all workarounds, the bugs are fixed in Adobe Reader 8.1. The tools from the official installer work fine with 8.1. Can someone tell me what can I expect from the PDFLatex View and Update View functionalities?

Installer improvement (was Lyx 1.5.1Spellchecker error)
I experienced exactly the same problem. In my case LyX was using the version installed for all users (I guess it depends on the option you choose when installing LyX). I think the installer should warn about this situation. Ideally, the installer should be able to install the dictionaries in the right directory.

LyX will then use the version that has been installed for your own account, but you may not have installed the dictionaries for this version. Thank you very much for your suggestion, Joost. I actually had two instances of Aspell on my system. I uninstalled both of them and ran the Lyx installer again. This time too it downloaded the dictionaries and installed it. And this time it worked. Thanks again for your help. -Vaibhav
Re: New Math toolbar
Hmmm, perhaps this is the problem. My View > Toolbars menu only has five items: Standard, Extra, Table, Math, Command Buffer. No sign of "Math Panels." Cheers, Lee.

The math toolbar that is activated for me looks dissimilar to the one as pictured at the url listed below. My toolbar is much more basic, with no popup menus, etc. I can't remember precisely, but I suspect it is the same as the LyX 1.4 toolbar. In 1.5, there are *two* math toolbars, both of which are accessible from View > Toolbars. You seem to be describing the "Math" toolbar; the one you want is the "Math Panels" toolbar. Bennett

Unicode with CJK wiki added
Hi everyone, I updated the Unicode wiki (http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Unicode) with CJK info for my own benefit as much as everyone else's :) It's kind of a complex process, and when I got my own computer I forgot how I set it up...well now I'll never forget :) Feel free to work on it (I wasn't really sure what to put under the "general" unicode section so I left it), also I just realized that adding more TTF fonts may be facilitated by using this program : http://mtfi.sourceforge.net/ ...but I really don't know much about that, if anyone could add stuff for Korean, that would be great! I'm also planning on adding some info on Devanagari using the Devnag package, but I actually haven't tried that yet, so who knows if it'll work *crosses fingers* Enjoy the CJK (or at least CJ) Unicode text entering!
