Hopefully this will be resolved in the final release. By the way even rc3 seems not to be very stable on my G4 (Lyx crashed while testing out if the bugs still remain). However, this is not the final candidate and I'll stick with 1.5.6 for my thesis. When these little problems will be resolved in 1.6final, I'll switch immediately, as it has some very nice features. The problem is that we have only one Mac developer so it's quite difficult for us to fix Mac specific bugs. The strange thing if I remember well the bug with the strange "special" menu wasn't there in the early betas before 1.6b4. Yes, we (I) are aware of that. Abdel.

This is to thank you . It finally worked even in Lyx 1.4.3 installed on a linux system . It helped to know that one needs to do alt+X to get the buffer .

Once you do open it, you'll see that the listings insets all begin a certain way, and the options that apply to the insets will also be there for you to see. So you can do a simple search and replace in the text file itself to make this kind of change, in case it isn't possible to do it directly in LyX. WARNING: Make sure you save a backup of the file before you do this!! It is very easy to make a mistake that will make it impossible for LyX to load the file. It may take a few tries before you get it right! But it can be a LOT easier than changing each thing one at a time. Richard

But then the option is set for _ALL_ listings in your document. The local setting of breaklines in each listings inset is then ignored by LaTeX. regards Uwe

Johannes Hello, I've recognized some Problems in both Lyx 1.6b4 and rc1 on MacOS 10.5 which I would like to report here. I don't know if these are bugs and/or platform specific; so here they are: - When I start Lyx 1.6 and costumize the appearance settings via the "Preferences..." dialogue and then click on the "Apply" button or the "Save" button, a new item appears in the OSX menu bar labelled "special" with the menu items "Preferences", "About Lyx" (both greyed out) and "Quit Lyx". In the normal "Lyx" menu "Reconfigure" now appears two times and "Preferences..." isn't responsive any more. The only solution is to quit and restart Lyx via the "special" menu. Changes of preferences are lost then if you clicked "Apply" only. - When I open a Lyx file by dragging it on the Lyx icon in the Dock the file is opened in an extra window without any toolbars and a second window opens with the toolbars in default arrangement (not the one costumized) but without any document in it. After this all costumized menu bar arrangements and prior window sizes are lost when restarting Lyx. The same thing happens when I open a Lyx file by doubleclicking on it. But now some praise: The new autocompletion thing is really great! Cheers, Johannes

Re: Why rc2 don't output .pdf file in the same folder of .lyx file?
1. My temporary folder is "s:\temp", and lyx is installed in "C:\Programme\LyX16", and the lyx file I want to export is under "c:\" for test, so I don't think it is caused by the path name in my case; 2. Actually this problem appears when I reinstalled rc2 yesterday, there is no such problem before that; 3. rc3 still has the problem in my computer.

Hello, LyX/Mac 1.6.0rc3, a preview of the Mac OS X version of the upcoming LyX 1.6, has now been released and is available for download here: ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/LyX-1.6.0rc3-Mac-Universal.dmg LyX 1.6rc3 is not a stable release! This means it is good for testing, but expect inconsistencies, regressions, and bugs. This preview release is built for interested LyX users who want to test the new features of LyX. We advise to backup your files and not to use this version for anything else but testing. Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Best regards, Konrad

Using a file compare tool (Total Commander), I realize that the two generated files (plain and pdflatex) are identical. Is that correct? They will be identical for a simple document - yes. A file exported to latex(plain) is supposed to work well with the command 'latex', no matter how complicated the document is. A file exported to latex(pdflatex) is supposed to work well with the command 'pdflatex'. 'latex' and 'pdflatex are the same for plain text. They differ in some special cases, for example in how they handle images. 'latex' understands images in .eps form, other images are converted to .eps format first. 'pdflatex' also understand jpg and png, so such files are not converted when using pdflatex. Also, "external material" may be handled differently for 'latex' and 'pdflatex'. pdflatex can import pdf files, so external software is usually told to export a .pdf file when preparing material for a pdflatex run. A latex run will use postscript (.eps) instead. So, you will see differences if your document contains images or stuff like lilypond sheet music. There may be some other cases as well. Helge Hafting
