 You can see the screen shot before and after the lyx was reopened.

 So, the automatically added brace(there will be a rectangle before the 
 superscript)was really ugly shown in Lyx editor, is it possible to disable 
 this functionality. I just don't want these change.

i dont see it here, but this is a second report that we additionally add braces

Re: sort the Bibliography list

[Julio Rojas]

It depends on the bibtex style you're using. Some of them present the
entries according to their appearance order in the paper. Some of them
order them alphabetically. You just have to try until you find the one
you need.

LyX takes care that you get a .tex file which can be compiled by pdflatex. 
Pdflatex can't handle .eps files (and possibly other formats), so if such files
are included as graphics in your document, they must be converted as well.  The
.png format is one that pdflatex can handle.  I am not sure why this format is
chosen over, say, converting your graphics to .pdf files.  In any case, I think
you should provide a small example file exhibiting your problem if you would

Thanks Julien,
I actually forgot to mention an important detail: the original of the 
file 
that Lyx wants to convert is in .png format already, hence my puzzlement.
Unfortunately, I can't produce a small file easily. I'll keep working on it 
and report back if I find anything.

Problems with inserting notes and tracking changes

[Ehud Kaplan]

If I insert a /note/ into the Lyx file while Change tracking is selected 
(with Show changes in the output also selected) I see in the output pdf 
file text  near the inserted note that appears to have been changed (its 
color is blue), even though it was not changed.  To clear it I have to 
select the text in the area and  Accept the change.
Clearly, as I indicated in previous recent messages to this list, the 
Change Tracking is buggy, which is too bad, since I depend on it for

LyX 2.0 and Outlines

[rob.oakes]

Dear LyX Users and Developers,

 

In the past couple of weeks, I've seen a great deal about LyX and improved
outlines floating around.  These include the improvements recommended by
Steve Litt (http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6174), in addition to those
that I first proposed a year ago
(http://www.oak-tree.us/blog/index.php/2009/03/04/perfect-tool,
http://www.oak-tree.us/blog/index.php/2009/05/13/lyx-outline).
Additionally, several users have contacted me to inquire about
LyX-Outline's progress and remind me that there is tremendous community
interest in such a tool (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11493/).  Thus,
even though I'm fairly slow on the uptake, I've gotten the message: it's
time that LyX have an improved outliner. 

 

Right now, however, I don't really have the time to tackle it personally
(needing to finish a book and being behind schedule).  I am, however,
willing to invest cash and knowledge.  Steve (in a previous post)
mentioned that he might also be willing to also provide resources.  I
would like to see if others are so inclined.

 

Here's what I can currently offer: 

 

1) Cash (see below)

 

2) Knowledge: I've been studying the code carefully and I think I
understand what needs to be modified to implement a more robust outline
environment.  This includes changes to the TocModel and the creation of a
new type of inset(s) which could be used for a section synopsis, or other
associated meta-data.**

 

3) Additional Resources: I have had a student express interest, and I am
willing to pay for his time.  While his developer skills are ... limited
., he would be able to file bugs and write code if provided with
*significant* guidance.

 

Right, so now I arrive at the reason I'm writing.  For starters, I've
found money that can pay for 15 to 20 hours of developer time (assuming
$20 US/hour, or so).  In addition to the developer costs, I am willing to
supervise, contribute related code I've already written, and test.

 

Are there developers familiar with LyX's codebase who would be willing to
help or provide guidance to those who can?  Additionally, are there users
who might be able to contribute additional funds?***

 

If the core developers are unable to help, I have located a group who
would be willing to contract the work at a fairly reasonable rate.  (And
if all else fails, there is always the student.)

 

Thoughts?

Cheers,

 

Rob Oakes

 

* If you happen to be interested in improved writing software for Linux,
it would be much appreciated if you went to the Ubuntu brainstorm page and
added your opinion.  Canonical has been known to provide developer time or
other resources to projects that meet a community need.

 

** Once the changes are made to the TocModel so that it fully complies
with the QStandardItemModel spec and a new inset that can be used as a
synopsis is created, the rest is straightforward.  I've already got a
working prototype that could be adapted.

[WinXP] Lyx thinks meta key pressed

[anunbeliever]

Lyx seems to think the meta (alt) key is pressed - ctrl+N doesn't start a  
new document but inserts a new numbered formula into an existing one, the S  
key brings up the Alt+S menu prompt in the status bar at the bottom, and  
I'm not sure what the escape key does do but it definitely doesn't close  
dialog boxes - etc. This behaviour is in Lyx only, and wasn't rectified by  
uninstalling and reinstalling (now on the current 1.6.5). I have no  
keyboard map set in Tools-Preferences-Editing-Keyboard/Mouse.


I certainly didn't deliberately change anything since the last time I used  
Lyx, and I'm not sure what I could have changed accidentally. Any ideas? I  
did a Google, turned up  
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg53492.html which  
doesn't help much other than confirm that I'm not completely batty.


Cheers,
Angus.

I too have seen this minor annoyance.

If I run across it again, I'll send in what info I can as well.  I did
see it recently, having something to do with opening an older doc with
subscripts within a \mathrm environment (chemical equation).  Deletion
of the subscript... something...

[WinXP] Lyx thinks meta key pressed

[anunbeliever]

Lyx seems to think the meta (alt) key is pressed - ctrl+N doesn't start a  
new document but inserts a new numbered formula into an existing one, the S  
key brings up the Alt+S menu prompt in the status bar at the bottom, and  
I'm not sure what the escape key does do but it definitely doesn't close  
dialog boxes - etc. This behaviour is in Lyx only, and wasn't rectified by  
uninstalling and reinstalling (now on the current 1.6.5). I have no  
keyboard map set in Tools-Preferences-Editing-Keyboard/Mouse.


I certainly didn't deliberately change anything since the last time I used  
Lyx, and I'm not sure what I could have changed accidentally. Any ideas? I  
did a Google, turned up  
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg53492.html which  
doesn't help much other than confirm that I'm not completely batty.


Cheers,
Angus.

Re: sort the Bibliography list

[Julio Rojas]

It depends on the bibtex style you're using. Some of them present the
entries according to their appearance order in the paper. Some of them
order them alphabetically. You just have to try until you find the one
you need.

LyX takes care that you get a .tex file which can be compiled by pdflatex. 
Pdflatex can't handle .eps files (and possibly other formats), so if such files
are included as graphics in your document, they must be converted as well.  The
.png format is one that pdflatex can handle.  I am not sure why this format is
chosen over, say, converting your graphics to .pdf files.  In any case, I think
you should provide a small example file exhibiting your problem if you would
like to get more help.

too great marks in itemize

Hello,
  I updated the package spanish.ldf, and now I have too great marks in itemize. 
They have the height of a capital letter.
 How I can correct this?

Thanks Julien,
I actually forgot to mention an important detail: the original of the 
file 
that Lyx wants to convert is in .png format already, hence my puzzlement.
Unfortunately, I can't produce a small file easily. I'll keep working on it 
and report back if I find anything.

Cheers,

S.

Do you mean that this particular behavior was never reported, or that there is 
*no* situation in which Lyx may trigger the long table option automatically? 
If the latter, then I think I found a bug. It would be pretty hard to 
replicate, unfortunately. If the former, I'd like to learn how to avoid it.

Thanks for the pointer---I didn't know. I had never even thought about what 
would happen to a longtable inside a float---as you say, it does not make 
sense. That's probably why it took me a while to understand what was going on.

I suspect that this is rather an issue of a different font than of
spanish.ldf (check if the marks are fine if you switch the document
language).

The itemize marks can be changed from Document>Settings>Bullets.

Problems with inserting notes and tracking changes

[Ehud Kaplan]

If I insert a /note/ into the Lyx file while Change tracking is selected 
(with Show changes in the output also selected) I see in the output pdf 
file text  near the inserted note that appears to have been changed (its 
color is blue), even though it was not changed.  To clear it I have to 
select the text in the area and  Accept the change.
Clearly, as I indicated in previous recent messages to this list, the 
Change Tracking is buggy, which is too bad, since I depend on it for 
collaborative work.

I just faced the same problem with branch (1.6.6svn). While editing a table in 
a document, I suddenly noticed it became a longtable. I'm sure I never set 
that.

I don't have time to investigate ATM.

LyX 2.0 and Outlines

[rob.oakes]

Dear LyX Users and Developers,

 

In the past couple of weeks, I've seen a great deal about LyX and improved
outlines floating around.  These include the improvements recommended by
Steve Litt (http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6174), in addition to those
that I first proposed a year ago
(http://www.oak-tree.us/blog/index.php/2009/03/04/perfect-tool,
http://www.oak-tree.us/blog/index.php/2009/05/13/lyx-outline).
Additionally, several users have contacted me to inquire about
LyX-Outline's progress and remind me that there is tremendous community
interest in such a tool (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11493/).  Thus,
even though I'm fairly slow on the uptake, I've gotten the message: it's
time that LyX have an improved outliner. 

 

Right now, however, I don't really have the time to tackle it personally
(needing to finish a book and being behind schedule).  I am, however,
willing to invest cash and knowledge.  Steve (in a previous post)
mentioned that he might also be willing to also provide resources.  I
would like to see if others are so inclined.

 

Here's what I can currently offer: 

 

1) Cash (see below)

 

2) Knowledge: I've been studying the code carefully and I think I
understand what needs to be modified to implement a more robust outline
environment.  This includes changes to the TocModel and the creation of a
new type of inset(s) which could be used for a section synopsis, or other
associated meta-data.**

 

3) Additional Resources: I have had a student express interest, and I am
willing to pay for his time.  While his developer skills are ... limited
., he would be able to file bugs and write code if provided with
*significant* guidance.

 

Right, so now I arrive at the reason I'm writing.  For starters, I've
found money that can pay for 15 to 20 hours of developer time (assuming
$20 US/hour, or so).  In addition to the developer costs, I am willing to
supervise, contribute related code I've already written, and test.

 

Are there developers familiar with LyX's codebase who would be willing to
help or provide guidance to those who can?  Additionally, are there users
who might be able to contribute additional funds?***

 

If the core developers are unable to help, I have located a group who
would be willing to contract the work at a fairly reasonable rate.  (And
if all else fails, there is always the student.)

 

Thoughts?

Cheers,

 

Rob Oakes
