Re: lyx chokes on documents with many subsections?

 Out of curiosity, do you notice the performance lags when using the
expanded outline/corkboard widget?

Nope, it doesn't happen! which is incredibly good news!

 Hi Vincent,

  So.. could it be Rob's outliner enhancements then ??? 

 That's certainly possible, but I think it unlikely.  To the best of my
 knowledge, Jose only began using the branch with the expanded outliner and
 other tools yesterday whereas the problem  has also been seen in  LyX
 1.6.6.1 and the main trunk.

 With that said, I think that we should be very careful about drawing
 conclusions about the SVN version of LyX from the LyX-Outline branch. The
 outline version has a lot of changes and the code is not particularly
 optimized (though I am working on cleaning it up).  I do find it interesting
 that turning off the Outline pane resolves the problems.

 Out of curiosity, do you notice the performance lags when using the
 expanded outline/corkboard widget?  If not, that would provide an important
 clue as to where the bottleneck is happening.  (My own gut says it has
 something to do with QTreeView on 64 bit systems.  I remember reading
 something about that on a forum a while back.)

 Cheers,

 Rob

Supper imposed (almost letters)

[Artimess]

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following:

What I need is some code to create the effect of having a letter crossed and
a little bit above it have an other letter printed.
Imagine that you are correcting a text for  typo and a letter is wrong in a
word, you cross the letter and above it (slightly) you write the corrected
letter, for example:

  Guy  (imagine the correct word was Buy, so the G should be crossed and
above it one should write B.

I am including a jpg file to show the effect or something similar that I
like to realize.

I do appreciate your help and many thanks in afvance,

Artimess

Forcing the floats position

[Petr A. Ossipov]

Hey

I've got a problem with lyx placing my floats. I now have a subsection, 
and soon after it a float with image (and also a float with listing). 
However, after rendering, it places the image before this section, which 
is undesired. Is there a way to tell lyx that a float must be not before 
this subsection's title?


Cheers
Petr

Have you tried right-clicking the handle of the float inset, then

Lyx on Windows without admin privileges (2010)

[Jim Rockford]

This issue has come up in older threads, and I was curious to know where it
stands today.  As a long-time lyx user, I am in the unfortunate position of
being in a Windoze-only (XP) environment without administrator privileges.
Can anyone offer some insight as to whether I could expect a smooth-running
lyx experience with Lyx and MikTex installed to a directory of choice for
just a plain old ordinary Windoze user?  Does Aspell still require
installation to the C:\  directory?

If I can overcome this hurdle, the next one will involve the seamless
conversion of lyx/latex to MS Word and back, which I understand is a far
more challenging issue without commercial software.

Thanks,
Jim

Re: Lyx on Windows without admin privileges (2010)

[Rob Oakes]

Hi Jim, 

I think that you can expect a very good experience on Windows without admin 
rights.  You may want to take a look at LyX-Portable.  There is even a project 
devoted to creating a LyX on Windows experience that can be run from a memory 
stick (see http://code.google.com/p/lytex/).

Additional information can be found on the Wiki, as well 
(http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/PortableInstallation).

In my case, I prefer to install LaTeX as a local user.  I then compile LyX from 
source and manually set up my path environment.  This is pretty easy to do from 
the environment variables dialog.  (On Windows 7 or Vista, just type path into 
the search bar.  It will pull up the right dialog in the Control Panel.)

Cheers,

Rob

One possibility is to use a Linux LiveCD that contains LaTeX and LyX
(for example Knoppix, but look on the wiki). You might also want to
investigate using the Cygwin version of LyX in combination with a
portable Cygwin Live CD.
