Another question which might be good to know in advance: How does LyX or

(Apologies for the slow reply.) I've tried adding the \AtBeginDocument{} as
you suggest but while the error goes away, the cross ref formatting is not
honoured.

I think I might try to get my head around *refstyle* as this is the way LyX
is moving for cross ref formatting, correct?

thats partly my fault since i didnt checked and only tried to give directions...
the switch is "-batch" and is part of lyx 2.0.

again these were only hints. you will need to study howto setup lyx pipes on
your box and what exact lyx functions to send through them to lyx server.
it would take some time to catch the corner cases and similar, so go this
direction only if your task is time critical...

if i ever tried to solve such kind of task i would produce direct .tex files
instead of .lyx file though...

Yes, it's a screen refresh issue.
Fortunately it's fixed already in the current sources of LyX.

But - I guess - you have to wait for the next public (beta-)release to get it

At this point, the best solution is probably to send privately to one of us a
file so that we can run under a profiler and see whether there are obvious
things to fix. There has been a patch in trunk to speed up writing of LyX file, 
but this is
not useful there. Presumably there is time lost somewhere when doing the 
conversion to LaTeX.

What is the size of the files ? Are there images?

I am assuming that you ran 2.0 beta2 as user, which means that LyX
tried to upgrade your profile settings in ~/.lyx. I am not sure why
the layouts would go missing (are they global layouts shipped with LyX
or custom, local ones?), but you may try to move ~/.lyx to ~/.lyx.bak
and start LyX with a fresh profile; then you would need to reset all
your preferences.

To avoid such experiences in the future try:
- ./configure --with-version-suffix=-svn --enable-build-type=release
- sudo ./lyx

The first will allow you to configure and install SVN LyX alongside
the stable version; then the two use different profile dirs and
happily coexist. The second would avoid messing with your stable
config.

Because of a bug in Adobe Reader X the LyX mechanism to reload PDF files 
in an open Adobe Reader window doesn't work. If you installed LyX using 
the alternative installer, the workaround is to set the viewer to auto 
instead of pdfview. The pdfview that is included in the standard 
installer of LyX 1.6.8 does this automatically if Adobe 10.0.0 is detected.
In both cases, you'll have to close Adobe before updating the PDF. 
Hopefully Adobe will fix this in the next release and the automatic

LyX 2.0 (beta2) didn't show PDF output

2010-12-13 Thread Moises Padilla
Hi.

I'm having troubles previewing PDF under the latest beta (PDFview, the new 
default) since the program keep saying no Acrobat Reader is installed. 
Obviously 
it are, and I already try to reinstall/repair but nothing happens: the file "is 
open" but there is no output.

The Acrobat Reader is version X and work just fine with 1.6.x and I have no 
luck 
under SumatraPDF nor FoxitReader. I'm downloading the programs in a second PC 
to 
see is something internal or OS related.

Tested so far: Windows XP SP3 (32bits) & Seven (64bits)
LyX-20beta2-5-8-AltInstaller-Small.exe (Miktex 2.7)

lyx does not recognize --batch-mode as a command line operator:

$ lyx --batch-mode -e pdf2 breast_cancer2.lyx
Wrong command line option `--batch-mode'. Exiting.
$ lyx -batch-mode -e pdf2 breast_cancer2.lyx
Wrong command line option `-batch-mode'. Exiting.

Don't know what a send-to-pipe is (no such command found via locate), but,
these
are lyx files that are generated on demand by PHP then immediately converted
to PDF for download.

FYI: these are being run in a headless environment, no X.

thinking more, it wont be so easy to built 1.4 , it uses too old qt's...

my wild guess is that this difference is due to differenent initialization
routines in 1.6.

one workaround - use --batch-mode which should avoid gui inits.
but i dont think it helps much.
more difficult but truly speed-up it to start using pipes
via some script like:

My reviewer wants me to add the key at the beginning. So I don't have much
of a choice. After knowing, that the key to success is the .bst file, I
tried different ones. Finally I found a natdin2.bst that has been used by a
colleague of mine. This file needed only small adaptions, but the keys at
the beginning worked from scratch.

looking again on the numbers, when rescaling pdflatex part we get
13*6 =78
8 *6 =48
which is very near to the 78/53 fraction. so the issue has most

> stock LyX build from RedHat/Epel ?

did you export with _native_ 1.6 format? if you slip 1.4 .lyx file to
lyx 1.6, he needs to run pythonic beast to convert firstly into 1.6
format and then do the export.

Extreme speed difference between 1.4.5.1 and 1.6.8

2010-12-13 Thread Michael Joyner
Greetings one and all...

This is a question about an extreme speed difference between 1.4.5.1 and
1.6.8

We currently are using LyX 1.4.5.1 in production for semi-automatic pdf
booklet generation for an in-house product and while testing the newer LyX
1.6.8 on a newer system have run into a very noticeable timing difference:

Old LyX, -e pdf2: ~ 53 seconds, multiple runs, timed using /usr/bin/time -p
New LyX, -e pdf2:  ~ 78 seconds, multiple runs, timed using /usr/bin/time -p

If I export to pdflatex, then run pdflatex, these are the associated
pdflatex timings:

Old pdflatex: ~ 13 seconds, multiple runs, timed using /usr/bin/time -p
New pdflatex: ~ 8 seconds, multiple runs, timed using /usr/bin/time -p

Thoughts as to why this is happening? Is there something wrong with the
stock LyX build from RedHat/Epel ?

Re: Reducing indentation of enumerated lists

2010-12-13 Thread Paul Rubin
Assuming you want to do this for all enumerations, add the following to your
preamble:

\usepackage{enumitem}
\setenumerate{leftmargin=*}

This of course assumes that you have the enumitem package installed.

and do you have set latex USE flag when emerging lyx? texhash is done
automatically for you then...

you can try to contact him.


The 1.6.8 Windows release was delayed because of an external library 
which suddenly disappeared from SourceForge (project + git repository 
was completely deleted). It took a lot of time to rewrite most of the 
missing code. The installer has now been finished and will be 
available shortly.

This is an already reported and fixed bug:

This one I do not understand.
I guess it's another problem... 
but I don't understand your recipe.

LyX 2.0 - Problems with Tables

2010-12-13 Thread Peter Baumgartner
Hi,

I'm noticed problems with tables using LyX 2.0.0beta2:

I've created a table with fixed column widths: a wide column (14cm) and two
small column (1,1cm). The entered text in these columns does only appear
when I leave the column. I have to enter the text blindly.

My figure setup for the width in the tabular dialog does not appear if I
call the dialog or disappears if I have entered the figure. So the tabular
dialog comes mostly empty (so I have to remember the value I've entered) or
sometimes with the figure of another cell I have recently setup. But this
has no effect on the table itself.

In another experiment with 3 columns without fixed columns the text appears
sometimes after a delay of about 1 sec., sometimes I have to leave the cell.

I'm using a MacBook Pro with OS X Snow Leopard, Version 10.6.5 und
TexLive-2010-64.

Peter
