Making a tab read-only?

Hi

I have a question, or a request:

I am working on a presentation which is based on a paper and a fe other 
documents in LyX. To make
my life easy, I have opened all of them in LyX to be able to copy text, 
graphics, ...

My Problem: I would like to avoid that I accidentally change something in the 
other documents and
save it.

Is it at the moment possible to make a tab as read-only or, if not, could 
this be easily be
implemented? I consider this a useful feature for cases like mine at the moment.

Cheers,

Rainer

 Is it at the moment possible to make a tab as read-only or, if not, could 
 this be easily be
 implemented? I consider this a useful feature for cases like mine at the 
 moment.

Bug #6692 ( http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6692 ) deals with it.

I proposed to include a 'Documents  Disable Editing' menu entry that
would mark a document as read-only for the given LyX session. You can
easily re-enable editing via the same menu item.

The bug was resolved as 'wontfix' because of lack of interest for that
feature. For the record, I still think that this feature is very
useful and I would (again) propose to include it in base LyX. (For
example, LibreOffice has this feature via a 'Edit File' toggle
button.)

Liviu

PS Right now the bugtracker seems down.

Would be perfect - exactly what I thought about.

Agreed - I will support that suggestion.

Not only the bug tracker, also the wiki... and I think lyx.org as well...

Oh, but this is a linux-only solution, and definitely not for user who 
wants to write without knowing too much of technical details, otherwise 
we will use plain latex instead of lyx. ;)


A simple menu entry won't hurt anyone and will be helpful

I have found a solution

copy from Lyx_directory/Resources/ui/stdmenus.inc to userdir/personalLyx/ui
add the following line wherever you want inside the file menu in the 
copied file

Item Make Read Only buffer-toggle-read-only

voilá, it works! Thanks to Kornel for the hint

Just discovered this one (also thanks Jean-Marc), but in the manual it states:

###
This function is not allowed if the file is under version control, since 
read-only flag is often
used in version control file locking.
###

which is a problem, as IO have most LyX projects under version control.

So no help for me.

If this function changes the attributes of the file, then this is a problem 
with VC - otherwise if
it only changes the properties of the tab,  do not see a problem with it.

Cheers,

Rainer

Re: Python wrapper bibtexall for biblatex

[stefano franchi]

Hi Julien,

I took a look at the log file you enclosed. It took some work, because
the thesis did not compile at first (missing images in the chapters
were one of the problems). In general, try to provide a minimal
working example when asking for help, not the entire document with all
the bells and whistles.

The file now compiles on my laptop and the results, it seems to me,
are what you wanted. I changed two things: (a) I switched from bibtex
to biber as backend ( I could not get your thesis to work with bibtex,
and in general biber works better with biblatex). (b) And I switched
from refsection to refsegment in biblatex. Here is what you need to
do:

A. Switch from bibtex to biber.
- be sure biber is installed on your system (it should. Try typing
biber at a command prompt to verify. If not install it via MikTeX)
 - Change the bibtexall script (with an editor): in line 17 (the last
line), replace bibtex with biber
 - Make sure bibtexall can be found by lyx (again try calling
bibtexall from a command prompt, or ask for help from the Windows
guys)
- Check that in preferencesLatex , i the section Bibliography
generation you have selected custom and typed bibtexall (without
quotes) in the following field
- in DocumentSettingsBibliographyProcessor, select biber from
the drop down menu
- in your preamble, change the biblatex loading command to:
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=nature]{biblatex}
- finally, get rid of spaces in path names (this may be unnecessary)

B. Switch from refsection to refsegment (see biblatex manual, section
3.10.3 for a discussion of how they differ)

- in your chapters, replace the commands \begin{refsection} and
\end{refsection} with, respectively,  \begin{refsegment} and
\end{refsegment}

- at the end of your chapters, when you want the bibliography to
appear, replace the simple \printbibliography command you have now
with
 \printbibliography[segment=n] where n is 1 for your first
bibliography (currently, your chapter 2), n = 2 for your second
bibliography (currently your chapter 3), etcetera. Again, see the
manual, sec 3.10.3 for a discussion

I am sending the pdf output in a private message to avoid jamming the
list servers.

Cheers,

Stefano

 Hi Lyx users,

  From this observation, could anyone tell me where i did a mistake? I
 would say
 that the problem is coming from the bibtexall command but i don't know
 where?!

 Ju,ien,

 it's a bit difficult to diagnose the problem unless you provide more
 info. Look at the latex log (DocumentLatex Log), especially at the
 warnings. Is biblatex complaining it cannot find the appropriate
 files? Or is bibtex complaining about the same? Perhaps you can post
 the log or send it to me directly (if it is too long) alongside a copy
 of your lyx file?

 Cheers,

 Stefano




 Thanks again a lot for your answer Stefano,

 I send you the log file as well as my lyx folder. And now i realize that
 perhaps i am testing on a bad file as i am using a quite complex template
 for my thesis... But still it should work on the real file so...

 Cheers

 Julien

In LibreOffice, see button to the left of the 'generate PDF' icon and
to the right of the 'Save' button. I'm not aware of a Menu item
equivalent.

That would certainly be nice. Although some users would still find
useful an easily discoverable, albeit boring read-only mode.

Yes, this specific button is quite nicely hidden. :) I discovered it
once by accident, but since I didn't stop using it. (By the way, it is
present throughout the suite: Word processor, Spreadsheet,
Presentation.)

I don't _know_, but I don't think so. I suspect that this is an
OpenOffice innovation. Either way, I always appreciate when an
editor (be it word/document processor like LibreOffice/LyX or IDE such
as Geany) provide an easily accessible read-only mode. Geany has a
'Document  Read only' menu item for this.

I never even knew LyX had tabs. I'll be using tabs now.

I like the idea of a read-only tab via Documents-Disable Editing, but
then again, I'm lousy at C++, know nothing about Qt-4, and therefore am
unlikely to help with the addition.

 I proposed to include a 'Documents  Disable Editing' menu entry that would 
 mark a document 
 as read-only for the given LyX session. You can easily re-enable editing via 
 the same menu 
 item.
 
 The bug was resolved as 'wontfix' because of lack of interest for that 
 feature. For the 
 record, I still think that this feature is very useful and I would (again) 
 propose to include
 it in base LyX. (For example, LibreOffice has this feature via a 'Edit File' 
 toggle button.)
 
 I never even knew LyX had tabs. I'll be using tabs now.

Something new to learn every day...
Maybe it is time to include a Tip of the day box on startup (obviously with 
the option to opt
out...).

 I like the idea of a read-only tab via Documents-Disable Editing, but then 
 again, I'm lousy at
 C++, know nothing about Qt-4, and therefore am unlikely to help with the 
 addition.

No need for that. LyX already features an internal function to disable
the editing, and I've already provided a patch that adds the item to
the menus. Now it is only a matter of the core LyX developers to
approve (or not) of the modification.

Liviu

PS Anyone interested in the feature can easily copy/paste the config
info from the bug report, to add this item to your local LyX
installation. It's very simple.

how to install packages

Re: how to install packages

[Paul A . Rubin]

You did not specify your operating system, and the answer is OS-specific.  If
you are using MiKTeX on Windows, there is a package installer in the MiKTeX
folder of the Start menu -- use that to download and install the package.

If you are using Linux, your LaTeX distribution may have a package manager of
its own. (Recent versions of TexLive do.)  Again, you can use that (run it in a
terminal) to download and install packages.  Failing that, open a terminal and
run 'kpsewhich -show-path tex' to get a list of directories LaTeX will search
for class (.cls) and style (,sty) files, and 'kpsewhich -show-path doc' for
directories where it will look for package documentation.  Look for directories
under /home/your login and park your files in appropriately named folders
there (using the package readme as guidance).

Re: Python wrapper bibtexall for biblatex

 Hi Julien,
 
 I took a look at the log file you enclosed. It took some work, because
 the thesis did not compile at first (missing images in the chapters
 were one of the problems). In general, try to provide a minimal
 working example when asking for help, not the entire document with all
 the bells and whistles.
 
 The file now compiles on my laptop and the results, it seems to me,
 are what you wanted. I changed two things: (a) I switched from bibtex
 to biber as backend ( I could not get your thesis to work with bibtex,
 and in general biber works better with biblatex). (b) And I switched
 from refsection to refsegment in biblatex. Here is what you need to
 do:
 
 A. Switch from bibtex to biber.
 - be sure biber is installed on your system (it should. Try typing
 biber at a command prompt to verify. If not install it via MikTeX)
  - Change the bibtexall script (with an editor): in line 17 (the last
 line), replace bibtex with biber
  - Make sure bibtexall can be found by lyx (again try calling
 bibtexall from a command prompt, or ask for help from the Windows
 guys)
 - Check that in preferencesLatex , i the section Bibliography
 generation you have selected custom and typed bibtexall (without
 quotes) in the following field
 - in DocumentSettingsBibliographyProcessor, select biber from
 the drop down menu
 - in your preamble, change the biblatex loading command to:
 \usepackage[backend=biber,style=nature]{biblatex}
 - finally, get rid of spaces in path names (this may be unnecessary)
 
 B. Switch from refsection to refsegment (see biblatex manual, section
 3.10.3 for a discussion of how they differ)
 
 - in your chapters, replace the commands \begin{refsection} and
 \end{refsection} with, respectively,  \begin{refsegment} and
 \end{refsegment}
 
 - at the end of your chapters, when you want the bibliography to
 appear, replace the simple \printbibliography command you have now
 with
  \printbibliography[segment=n] where n is 1 for your first
 bibliography (currently, your chapter 2), n = 2 for your second
 bibliography (currently your chapter 3), etcetera. Again, see the
 manual, sec 3.10.3 for a discussion
 
 I am sending the pdf output in a private message to avoid jamming the
 list servers.

  Ju,ien,
 
  it's a bit difficult to diagnose the problem unless you provide more
  info. Look at the latex log (DocumentLatex Log), especially at the
  warnings. Is biblatex complaining it cannot find the appropriate

Hi again Stefano,

I did all the procedure but unfortunately it still have problems...
First, with the exact procedure that you gave me, my references are not 
recognized and don't appear in my pdf file.
If i change from biber to bibtex8, then it is generating the same file as 
yours, 
with first chapter with references numbered correctly (for ex. 1 to 20) and the 
second with increasing numbers (for ex. 20 to 40, but it also uses numbers from 
the first chapter if references are re-used). This behavior is because of the 
refsegment environment, that create a global, without the need of additional 
aux 
files (3.10.3 in biblatex doc).
As i want to have completely independent bibliographies for each chapter, i 
have 
to use the refsection environment. In this case it is requiring all the aux 
files of each chapter. And in this case, my bibliography is not working.

So my conclusion is that the bibtexall script is not working. The procedure is 
not detailed enough for me in the wiki, and i don't find any clue on the forum, 
 
could any windows-user (using Miktex) explain me how to generate and where to 
place exactly this script?

Here is how i am proceeding:
- To build bibtexall.exe, i used this tutorial:
http://logix4u.net/component/content/article/27-tutorials/44-how-to-create-
windows-executable-exe-from-python-script
I copied the script and pasted into a bibtexall.txt file, then i renamed to .py 
extension and used py2exe to build the executable script. The file was created 
in a dist folder, with the exe and some other

Making a tab read-only?

Hi

I have a question, or a request:

I am working on a presentation which is based on a paper and a fe other 
documents in LyX. To make
my life easy, I have opened all of them in LyX to be able to copy text, 
graphics, ...

My Problem: I would like to avoid that I accidentally change something in the 
other documents and
save it.

Is it at the moment possible to make a tab as read-only or, if not, could 
this be easily be
implemented? I consider this a useful feature for cases like mine at the moment.

Cheers,

Rainer

Just discovered this one (also thanks Jean-Marc), but in the manual it states:

###
This function is not allowed if the file is under version control, since 
read-only flag is often
used in version control file locking.
###

which is a problem, as IO have most LyX projects under version control.

So no help for me.

If this function changes the attributes of the file, then this is a problem 
with VC - otherwise if
it only changes the properties of the tab,  do not see a problem with it.

Cheers,

Rainer

 \printbibliography[segment=n] where n is 1 for your first

 Ju,ien,

 it's a bit difficult to diagnose the problem unless you provide more
 info. Look at the latex log (DocumentLatex Log), especially at the
 warnings. Is biblatex complaining it cannot find the appropriate
 files? Or is bibtex complaining about the same? Perhaps you can post
 the log or send it to me directly (if it is too long) alongside a copy
 of your lyx file?

 Thanks again a lot for your answer Stefano,

 I send you the log file as well as my lyx folder. And now i realize that
 perhaps i am testing on a bad file as i am using a quite complex template
 for my thesis... But still it should work on the real file so...

In LibreOffice, see button to the left of the 'generate PDF' icon and

equivalent.

That would certainly be nice. Although some users would still find

Yes, this specific button is quite nicely hidden. :) I discovered it
once by accident, but since I didn't stop using it. (By the way, it is
present throughout the suite: Word processor, Spreadsheet,
Presentation.)

I don't _know_, but I don't think so. I suspect that this is an
OpenOffice innovation. Either way, I always appreciate when an
editor (be it word/document processor like LibreOffice/LyX or IDE such
as Geany) provide an easily accessible read-only mode. Geany has a
'Document  Read only' menu item for this.

No need for that. LyX already features an internal function to disable
the editing, and I've already provided a patch that adds the item to
the menus. Now it is only a matter of the core LyX developers to
approve (or not) of the modification.

Re: how to install packages

[Paul A . Rubin]

You did not specify your operating system, and the answer is OS-specific.  If
you are using MiKTeX on Windows, there is a package installer in the MiKTeX
folder of the Start menu -- use that to download and install the package.

If you are using Linux, your LaTeX distribution may have a package manager of
its own. (Recent versions of TexLive do.)  Again, you can use that (run it in a
terminal) to download and install packages.  Failing that, open a terminal and
run 'kpsewhich -show-path tex' to get a list of directories LaTeX will search
for class (.cls) and style (,sty) files, and 'kpsewhich -show-path doc' for
directories where it will look for package documentation.  Look for directories
under /home/your login and park your files in appropriately named folders
there (using the package readme as guidance).

 Hi Julien,
 
 I took a look at the log file you enclosed. It took some work, because
 the thesis did not compile at first (missing images in the chapters
 were one of the problems). In general, try to provide a minimal
 working example when asking for help, not the entire document with all
 the bells and whistles.
 
 The file now compiles on my laptop and the results, it seems to me,
 are what you wanted. I changed two things: (a) I switched from bibtex
 to biber as backend ( I could not get your thesis to work with bibtex,
 and in general biber works better with biblatex). (b) And I switched
 from refsection to refsegment in biblatex. Here is what you need to
 do:
 
 A. Switch from bibtex to biber.
 - be sure biber is installed on your system (it should. Try typing
 biber at a command prompt to verify. If not install it via MikTeX)
  - Change the bibtexall script (with an editor): in line 17 (the last
 line), replace bibtex with biber
  - Make sure bibtexall can be found by lyx (again try calling
 bibtexall from a command prompt, or ask for help from the Windows
 guys)
 - Check that in preferencesLatex , i the section Bibliography
 generation you have selected custom and typed bibtexall (without
 quotes) in the following field
 - in DocumentSettingsBibliographyProcessor, select biber from
 the drop down menu
 - in your preamble, change the biblatex loading command to:
 \usepackage[backend=biber,style=nature]{biblatex}
 - finally, get rid of spaces in path names (this may be unnecessary)
 
 B. Switch from refsection to refsegment (see biblatex manual, section

Hi again Stefano,

I did all the procedure but unfortunately it still have problems...
First, with the exact procedure that you gave me, my references are not 
recognized and don't appear in my pdf file.
If i change from biber to bibtex8, then it is generating the same file as 
yours, 
with first chapter with references numbered correctly (for ex. 1 to 20) and the 
second with increasing numbers (for ex. 20 to 40, but it also uses numbers from 
the first chapter if references are re-used). This behavior is because of the 
refsegment environment, that create a global, without the need of additional 
aux 
files (3.10.3 in biblatex doc).
As i want to have completely independent bibliographies for each chapter, i 
have 
to use the refsection environment. In this case it is requiring all the aux 
files of each chapter. And in this case, my bibliography is not working.

So my conclusion is that the bibtexall script is not working. The procedure is 
not detailed enough for me in the wiki, and i don't find any clue on the forum, 
 
could any windows-user (using Miktex) explain me how to generate and where to 
place exactly this script?

Here is how i am proceeding:
- To build bibtexall.exe, i used this tutorial:
http://logix4u.net/component/content/article/27-tutorials/44-how-to-create-
windows-executable-exe-from-python-script
I copied the script and pasted into a bibtexall.txt file, then i renamed to .py 
extension and used py2exe to build the executable script. The file was created 
in a dist folder, with the exe and some other

Hi

documents in LyX. To make
my life easy, I have opened all of them in LyX to be able to copy text, 
graphics, ...

My Problem: I would like to avoid that I accidentally change something in the

save it.

Is it at the moment possible to make a tab as "read-only" or, if not, could 
this be easily be
implemented? I consider this a useful feature for cases like mine at the moment.

Bug #6692 ( http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6692 ) deals with it.

I proposed to include a 'Documents > Disable Editing' menu entry that
would mark a document as read-only for the given LyX session. You can
easily re-enable editing via the same menu item.

The bug was resolved as 'wontfix' because of lack of interest for that
feature. For the record, I still think that this feature is very
useful and I would (again) propose to include it in base LyX. (For
example, LibreOffice has this feature via a 'Edit File' toggle
button.)

And how about the command 
buffer-toggle-read-only
?

You may enter the command in the lyx-command line, or bind it to some key.

I have found a solution

copy from Lyx_directory/Resources/ui/stdmenus.inc to userdir/personalLyx/ui
add the following line wherever you want inside the file menu in the 
copied file

Item "Make Read Only" "buffer-toggle-read-only"

voilá, it works! Thanks to Kornel for the hint

Just discovered this one (also thanks Jean-Marc), but in the manual it states:

###
This function is not allowed if the file is under version control, since 
read-only flag is often
used in version control file locking.
###

which is a problem, as IO have most LyX projects under version control.

So no help for me.

If this function changes the attributes of the file, then this is a problem 
with VC - otherwise if
it only changes the properties of the tab,  do not see a problem with it.

Cheers,

Rainer

Re: Python wrapper bibtexall for biblatex

[stefano franchi]

Hi Julien,

I took a look at the log file you enclosed. It took some work, because
the thesis did not compile at first (missing images in the chapters
were one of the problems). In general, try to provide a minimal
working example when asking for help, not the entire document with all
the bells and whistles.

The file now compiles on my laptop and the results, it seems to me,
are what you wanted. I changed two things: (a) I switched from bibtex
to biber as backend ( I could not get your thesis to work with bibtex,
and in general biber works better with biblatex). (b) And I switched
from refsection to refsegment in biblatex. Here is what you need to
do:

A. Switch from bibtex to biber.
- be sure biber is installed on your system (it should. Try typing
"biber" at a command prompt to verify. If not install it via MikTeX)
 - Change the bibtexall script (with an editor): in line 17 (the last
line), replace "bibtex" with "biber"
 - Make sure bibtexall can be found by lyx (again try calling
bibtexall from a command prompt, or ask for help from the Windows
guys)
- Check that in preferences>>Latex , i the section "Bibliography
generation" you have selected "custom" and typed "bibtexall" (without
quotes) in the following field
- in Document>>Settings>>Bibliography>>Processor, select "biber" from
the drop down menu
- in your preamble, change the biblatex loading command to:
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=nature]{biblatex}
- finally, get rid of spaces in path names (this may be unnecessary)

B. Switch from refsection to refsegment (see biblatex manual, section
3.10.3 for a discussion of how they differ)

- in your chapters, replace the commands \begin{refsection} and
\end{refsection} with, respectively,  \begin{refsegment} and
\end{refsegment}

- at the end of your chapters, when you want the bibliography to
appear, replace the simple \printbibliography command you have now
with
 \printbibliography[segment=n] where "n" is "1" for your first
bibliography (currently, your chapter 2), "n" = "2" for your second
bibliography (currently your chapter 3), etcetera. Again, see the
manual, sec 3.10.3 for a discussion

I am sending the pdf output in a private message to avoid jamming the
list servers.

Cheers,

Stefano

In LibreOffice, see button to the left of the 'generate PDF' icon and
to the right of the 'Save' button. I'm not aware of a Menu item
equivalent.

That would certainly be nice. Although some users would still find
useful an easily discoverable, albeit boring read-only mode.

Yes, this specific button is quite nicely hidden. :) I discovered it
once by accident, but since I didn't stop using it. (By the way, it is
present throughout the suite: Word processor, Spreadsheet,
Presentation.)

I don't _know_, but I don't think so. I suspect that this is an
OpenOffice "innovation". Either way, I always appreciate when an
editor (be it word/document processor like LibreOffice/LyX or IDE such
as Geany) provide an easily accessible "read-only" mode. Geany has a
'Document > Read only' menu item for this.

I never even knew LyX had tabs. I'll be using tabs now.

I like the idea of a read-only tab via Documents->Disable Editing, but
then again, I'm lousy at C++, know nothing about Qt-4, and therefore am
unlikely to help with the addition.

No need for that. LyX already features an internal function to disable
the editing, and I've already provided a patch that adds the item to
the menus. Now it is only a matter of the core LyX developers to
approve (or not) of the modification.

Liviu

PS Anyone interested in the feature can easily copy/paste the config
info from the bug report, to add this item to your local LyX
installation. It's very simple.

Re: how to install packages

[Paul A . Rubin]

You did not specify your operating system, and the answer is OS-specific.  If
you are using MiKTeX on Windows, there is a package installer in the MiKTeX
folder of the Start menu -- use that to download and install the package.

If you are using Linux, your LaTeX distribution may have a package manager of
its own. (Recent versions of TexLive do.)  Again, you can use that (run it in a
terminal) to download and install packages.  Failing that, open a terminal and
run 'kpsewhich -show-path tex' to get a list of directories LaTeX will search
for class (.cls) and style (,sty) files, and 'kpsewhich -show-path doc' for
directories where it will look for package documentation.  Look for directories
under /home/ and park your files in appropriately named folders
there (using the package readme as guidance).

Hi again Stefano,

I did all the procedure but unfortunately it still have problems...
First, with the exact procedure that you gave me, my references are not 
recognized and don't appear in my pdf file.
If i change from biber to bibtex8, then it is generating the same file as 
yours, 
with first chapter with references numbered correctly (for ex. 1 to 20) and the 
second with increasing numbers (for ex. 20 to 40, but it also uses numbers from 
the first chapter if references are re-used). This behavior is because of the 
refsegment environment, that create a global, without the need of additional 
aux 
files (3.10.3 in biblatex doc).
As i want to have completely independent bibliographies for each chapter, i 
have 
to use the refsection environment. In this case it is requiring all the aux 
files of each chapter. And in this case, my bibliography is not working.

So my conclusion is that the bibtexall script is not working. The procedure is 
not detailed enough for me in the wiki, and i don't find any clue on the forum, 
 
could any windows-user (using Miktex) explain me how to generate and where to 
place exactly this script?

Here is how i am proceeding:
- To build bibtexall.exe, i used this tutorial:

I copied the script and pasted into a bibtexall.txt file,

Not good. However in the meantime it is possible to install LyX without admin privileges. I also 
fixed several bugs in the installer. Could you please give it again a try:

Btw, what problems are there with Imagemagick when lyx is installed without 
admin rights?


Because it requires registry settings in HKLM. After discussing this with the 
ImAgemagick
developers, they changs it but I haven't found the time to test and implement 
this yet.


This is now fixed in ImageMagick and so the installer supports installing 
without admin privileges:
