For this kind of environments, you use an Inset instead of a Style: it shows as a box in the LyX buffer, it is only leaved when you tell it, and it allows two subsequent instances without the "--- Environment Separator ---" hack. Unfortunately, beamer.layout (and some others) are older than the customizable Inset, so that it contains this "End..." hacks or uglier things. > What is the trick that permits (for example) a Frame environment to > contain other environments without the need to "increase the depth" of > the inserted environment?

Empty document at start
Is there an option (preference setting perhaps) that will cause LyX to start up with an empty document? I'm finding it increasingly tedious whenever I open LyX to have to do a Cmd-N as the first action before I can start type. At the moment the default settings mean I get the splash screen displayed and then I must explicitly create a new document. Regards, Trevor. <>< Re: deemed!
Re: LyX cache
Hi Påvel, would you mind to tell me where you fou nd this setting exactly?

Questions on viewing PDF problem
Dear all, Starting yesterday, the view function in Lyx suddenly stopped working. (It was all fine before). It generates an error message that "Auto-view file /.../file.pdf failed." No matter what type of file I tried, it generated the same message. (For example, I would open a new Lyx document and type "hello world!" and click "view" and the same error message would appear) I've discovered that Lyx actually successfully generates the pdf file in its temp directory, but it just fails to view it. I have even re-installed Lyx, to no avail. Any suggestions? Relevant info: Operating System: Win 7 Lyx Version: 2.0.0 Thanks! Stanley
Re: lyx2 and sweave
I've been thinking about the message "Setting LC_CTYPE=en_US failed"
for a while and have not figured out the reason yet. Why does R have
to set the locale to en_US when it is not actually en_US...
For non-English documents, I guess you have to specify a correct
encoding in the document settings, but I don't know which encoding is
"correct" for German. What was the error message (View-->View
Messages) in R? (not warnings) Did it say something like iconv()
failed?
Regards,
Yihui

Re: Getting RevTeX 4.1 layout to work

Perhaps I should clarify that the problem only occurs when I have the revtex4-1.layout file that I created from copying and pasting Julien's code into a text file in the layouts folder. Cheers, Eric A kind soul followed up on this and offers the explanation that your browser does automatic line wrapping that are not part of the original file, and a copy-paste from that messes up with how LyX parses the file. This is a logical and very plausible explanation of the problem you have encounter. I have put the layout file available for download from http://www.physics.utoronto.ca/~jrioux/resources/lyx/ Could you please try to download this file? This should avoid any copy-paste problems. Meanwhile the layout file that I am using also evolved a bit.

I had trouble using the version you posted for Lyx 1.6.x, similar to that discussed in http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg84557.html It turns out that all it was was that my browser broke up the \DeclareLatexClass line, moving the \DeclareLatexClass command to the line following the # , which caused the LyX Reconfigure command to fail. Moving the # , \DeclareLatexClass..., and (REVTEX 4.1)} [3 separate lines as my browser gave it to me] to the same line resulted in a working LyX Reconfigure. Sorry to send this mail to you. I tried to reply to Eric Cavalcanti, who posted the question, but I can't get to a working reply screen. Your email address was the only one I found, so I thought you might be able to forward or post this in case Eric is still having trouble. Thanks again for your work on this. Tim Stoltzfus-Dueck

This is a pretty unusual situation, and LyX is definitely not set up to use different temporary directories for different files in the same session. You might try setting up a second user directory, and launching Lyx with: lyx -userdir /home/you/.lyxcrypt/ when you need to do so. Richard

Both make sense. For me, I'd rather not have to exit the theorem environment before entering a proof, or a corollary, or whatever. It would be possible to make this more flexible, though. There probably are cases, mostly involving lists, where you'd expect the list to be within the existing environment. E.g., lists within statements of theorems, or proofs, or what have you. One could have some kind of setting for different layouts that signalled whether they expected lists within them. Or maybe one could, by default, increase depth for lists within environments. Lots of possibilities. But any change would need discussion. > What is the trick that permits (for example) a Frame environment to > contain other environments without the need to "increase the depth" of > the inserted environment? > You can look at the beamer layout to see this, but it is a complete mess.

I don't want this behaviour *always*. If I edit some other lyx-file, not this secret one, then the TrueCrypt volume may even not be mounted. Is there in LyX some parameter like the 'lyx-file location', so that the temporary folder could be specified with this parameter? Kotya

How to put temporary files to the lyx-file folder (for TrueCrypt compatibility)
Hello, I am working on a document in a TrueCrypt volume. As far as I understand, when I view PDF, LyX puts a temporary PDF file (and probably all temporary pdflatex files) into some other folder (at least, I don't see them in the folder with the lyx-file). Can I change this? I would like all files, even those later deleted, to reside in a TrueCrypt folder. I have tried to remove the path in the Preferences/Paths/Temporary directory, but the PDF file still doesn't appear in the lyx-file folder. Thanks in advance! Kotya

Possible Bug: Document Settings -> Bullets -> Size
I am trying to change the size of the bullets in a LyX 2.0 document. When I go to Document Settings -> Bullets and then change the "Size", this does not seem to trigger any sort of change to the document. The Ok/Apply buttons are still disabled. Is there a possible bug here? Regards, Ken
