 How does LyX handle pdf files to show them with Instant Preview?
 
 In Preferences - File Handling - File Formats, any PDF option uses
 xdg-open as viewer, which in my case is Okular (using KDE here).
 
 However, when Instant Preview is going to display a pdf image for the
 first time, it apparently uses gs (ghostscript) to convert the PDF to
 EPS first.  On itself, this is no big deal, but the problem is that for
 some reason gs takes a long time converting the image, and when I have
 a text with a lot of figures, it can be quite a PITA.
 
 Is there any alternative for me in this case?

problem with natbib numbering

[julien.babinot]

Hello,

I am currently writing my PhD thesis on Lyx, and i have one problem with 
my bibliography.
I am using multiple bibliography, with a separate bib file for each 
chapter (these are included in a main document thesis.lyx).
As advised in the advanced options document, i use \begin{btUnit}and 
\end{btUnit}at the beginning and end of my chapter to allow the multiple 
bibliography.
I want to use a numbered style, in superscript, and numbered in the 
order of citation. But my problem is that references are listed in the 
alphabetical order of authors, thus generating numbering like 5, 23, 6 
 and not 1,2,3

Here is the Latex code generated by Lyx:

How to get rid of excessive vertical whitespace

[Roger House]

I'm using Lyx for the first time and find it, by and large, quite nice.
However, I've run into a situation where Lyx's automatic vertical layout
is creating ugly output.  Example:

  input
text
small figure
caption
text
large figure (taking an entire page)

  output
PAGE BREAK
text
small figure
LOTS OF VERTICAL WHITESPACE
caption
LOTS OF VERTICAL WHITESPACE
text
PAGE BREAK
large figure (taking an entire page)

I want a page break before the large figure, so that works fine.  
However the
vertical whitespace is really unacceptable.  I understand that the 
algorithm

is trying to spread things out uniformly in the vertical direction, but in
this case, I would like all the vertical whitespace to go away and just let
the printed portion of the page stop wherever it stops.  (Also, the 
whitespace
between the figure and the caption just seems plain wrong.  I have the 
caption

marked Definitely here, but my idea of here does not seem to agree with
the way it works.)

I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to prevent the layout shown
above.

Thank you,

Roger House

Yes, LaTeX can be generous with empty vertical space. One way to
workaround is to insert negative vertical spaces right after the
caption (or float). Just Insert  Formatting  Vertical Space and
input a negative value (say -10 pt). This should help.

See Section 11 of LyX Essentials [1] for some prose on this. The

placement.

Roger,

The obvious solution would be to put a vertical
fill (Insert-Formatting-Vertical Space-VFill) after the second
text, and follow it with a page break (Ctrl-Enter).

However, I'd suggest you reconsider the need for having the large
figure quite so large (so it would fit on the same page) or,
alternatively, making the small figure larger, so it fills some of the
empty space.

But make sure your document has pretty much its final content, and you
are happy with the margins and font size (etc.) before you start making
changes to get the page breaks making sense: changing these  things
will change the page breaks anyway.

Les

If \flushbottom is set it might help to put \raggedbottom in an
ERT TeX box before the parts which space excessively.  You can
then turn \flushbottom back on afterwards, if desired, in another
ERT inset.

How to get rid of excessive vertical whitespace

[Roger House]

I'm using Lyx for the first time and find it, by and large, quite nice.
However, I've run into a situation where Lyx's automatic vertical layout
is creating ugly output.  Example:

  input
text
small figure
caption
text
large figure (taking an entire page)

  output
PAGE BREAK
text
small figure
LOTS OF VERTICAL WHITESPACE
caption
LOTS OF VERTICAL WHITESPACE
text
PAGE BREAK
large figure (taking an entire page)

I want a page break before the large figure, so that works fine.  
However the
vertical whitespace is really unacceptable.  I understand that the 
algorithm

is trying to spread things out uniformly in the vertical direction, but in
this case, I would like all the vertical whitespace to go away and just let
the printed portion of the page stop wherever it stops.  (Also, the 
whitespace
between the figure and the caption just seems plain wrong.  I have the 
caption

marked "Definitely here", but my idea of "here" does not seem to agree with
the way it works.)

I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to prevent the layout shown
above.

Thank you,

Roger House

Yes, LaTeX can be generous with empty vertical space. One way to
workaround is to insert negative vertical spaces right after the
caption (or float). Just Insert > Formatting > Vertical Space and
input a negative value (say -10 pt). This should help.

See Section 11 of LyX Essentials [1] for some prose on this. The
"Definitely here" pertains to the float placement, not caption
placement.

Roger,

The obvious solution would be to put a "vertical
fill" (Insert->Formatting->Vertical Space->VFill) after the second
text, and follow it with a page break (Ctrl-Enter).

However, I'd suggest you reconsider the need for having the large
figure quite so large (so it would fit on the same page) or,
alternatively, making the small figure larger, so it fills some of the
empty space.

But make sure your document has pretty much its final content, and you
are happy with the margins and font size (etc.) before you start making
changes to get the page breaks making sense: changing these  things
will change the page breaks anyway.

If \flushbottom is set it might help to put \raggedbottom in an
ERT TeX box before the parts which space excessively.  You can
then turn \flushbottom back on afterwards, if desired, in another
ERT inset.
