Re: Problem Outputting Particular TIFF File
Hi Mark, I haven't changed anything in the past couple of weeks, when I reinstalled MiKTeX and reconfigured LyX. (BTW, I just tried out a different TIFF file, and it worked fine.) The flowchart is something I copied from a PDF and then edited in Paint. All the other graphics were generated by R, so there could be something there.

Re: Problem Outputting Particular TIFF File
Hi Jane, I'm more of a Mac guys, but I know when I installed Lyx on Win7 it had to download / configure a bunch of stuff in miktex as well as in Lyx. Have you changed your system configuration lately? Perhaps worth doing a Miktex update and a Lyx reconfigure? Are the rest of the (working) tiff file generated by the same program as your flowchart?

Hi Jane, It worked fine for me using Lyx 2.01 / Texlive 2011 under OS X, and also under Lyx 2.0.0-3 / Miktex / Windows 7 professional. Something else in your setup maybe?

Re: PDF won't generate
Yes, I've started getting this error with the 2.1 svn version. If I export the pdflatex code, that's fine, and it'll compile correctly from the command line. LyX isn't doing a step it probably should. /** "The four points of the compass be logic, knowledge, wisdom and the unknown. Some do bow in that final direction. Others advance upon it.

Re: PDF won't generate
I have a similar problem with Lyx 2.0 on Windows 7. I have a custom style and some required .JPG files that are inserted by that style. Lyx does not copy them to its temporary directory. Ideally, I'd like Lyx to run latex in my working directory. If I find the temporary directory, I can copy the files manually to that directory, and then a second PDF generate command will provide results, but this is sort of klunky. Anyone have suggestions?

OK let me be a little more specific...
I checked ~/.lyx/pwl_english.dict to makes sure that I hadn't previously
added the "gabaggge" word to the word list by mistake. But the fact
that I positioned the cursor AFTER the "gabaggge" word before pressing
F7 And that somehow the spellchecker did skip back to a cursor position in
a chapter that I hadn't even looked at in months without first checking all
the errors that were there between the cursor position where I had pressed
F7 and the 2nd marker line with the 2nd instance in whole document of the
"gabaggge" word which it NEVER reached because when I realized I was
correcting deliberate misspelling in the earlier text I aborted
spellchecking without it ever actually finding either instance of the
"gabaggge" word. Which means that I never clicked on ANY spellchecker
button (ignore, ignore all, or any other) with the "gabaggge" word in
the spellchecker's crosshairs...

Agreed. But since I hadn't scrolled back to the previous chapters, "I"
didn't change the cursor position to them.
The only times I intervened in the cursor position was when I wasn't sure if
a suggested word was actually the word I intended or had some other meaning. in
which case I would hit escape to stop the spellchecker, use ^X to cut the
questionable word to the clipboard, switch to the desktop area where I had a
browser open to an on-line dictionary. Paste the word and edit until the
dictionary liked the spelling AND presented me with the intended definition.
At which point I would mark the corrected word and copy it to the clipboard,
change back to the desktop area where my LyX window was, then I'd paste the
corrected word into my document. Then to ensure the opportunity to add that
word to LyX's word list if needed, I'd move the cursor up just one line and
press F7 again...

Yeah it should be. And that is my whole point. For some reason it isn't.
The only time I change the cursor position of a LyX document while I'm
spellchecking is as I described above.
But, like I said before, this problem doesn't happen every time I
spellcheck, so I can't reliably reproduce it for a bug report.
And since the workaround of cutting the section of text to the clipboard,
And then pasting it into an otherwise empty .lyx file, does get me a way
to reliably spellcheck the text.
And until such a time as http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/2511 becomes a
reality, I think I'll just use that kludge I just described.
