table placement

2008-05-10 Thread Thomas DiPrete
Hi, is there a way to force LyX to place each table on its own page?   
I have a relatively small table, and LyX insists on placing it on the  
same page as the next table regardless of whether I put a page break  
in between, or tell each table to be at the top of the page, or  
anything else that I've tried.

Either include the path to sumatraPDF.exe in the viewer field or add it 
to the PATH prefix.

installing scripts in LyX

2008-05-10 Thread Thomas DiPrete
How does one install scripts in OS X for LyX?  I wanted to use the  
envelope script.  All the wiki says is to "install" it into /usr/local/ 
bin and then make it executable.  How does one do this?  This is  
different from moving the file to this location, no?

But would there be a way to put something in Lyx's preamble edit box, in
order to display numbers on the default Lyx "slides" document?



Reload PDF-viewer?

2008-05-10 Thread bigblop

I have installed LyX for windows XP. But when I make changes to my file I
need to reopen the PDF file to see the change. Is there no way to avoid
closing and reopening each time I want to see and updated version of my
test?

Change PDF viewer?

2008-05-10 Thread bigblop

I have installed LyX on windows XP. I would like to change the pdf viewer to
something else (SumatraPDF which can be found on this link:
http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/)

I then choose Tools -> Preferences -> File Formats -> PDF (pdflatex). And
under viewer I type: sumatraPDF.exe. But when I want to preview from LyX I
get an error that windows could not find the previewer. How do I change the
PDF viewer?

Probably depends on what document class you're using (beamer, foiltex, 
powerdot, ...).

Re: Lyx crash with QT4.3.4 and samba

2008-05-10 Thread Daniel CLEMENT
PMFJI, but there's something I don't understand here:

- how do you "browse a Samba share" from within LyX? The way the
File-Open dialog looks like doesn't allow me to do this (in LyX 1.5.3)
--unlike the one from, say, OpenOffice.

- [off topic] does this mean you got LAN up and running in Hardy? I'd
love to know how! I was eager to test LyX 1.5.4/Hardy, but the
networking problems have kept me away so far.

please apologize if I'm missing sth. obvious...
