Excess Space With Tables and Figures at Chapter's End
I've a short paragraph that concludes a chapter and this paragraph includes two table floats and two figure floats. TeX spreads these out over 4 pages with too much white space. The first page has the paragraph, a lot of space, then one table; the second page has two figures (including one from an earlier paragraph), and so on. Should I copy these out of the floats and place them manually? I've not seen this before so I don't know all my options. Rich

The system templates are located inside the application bundle and one may have more then one bundle on a computer. So it would be correct to have a button in the "Open from template" dialog to navigate to the location inside the bundle. The workaround is as follows: 1. Use the Finder to go to Applications 2. Locate the LyX program bundle (LyX.app) 3. Click on it with right mouse button (Open the package content) 4. Navigate into Contents and then into Resources 5. Drag the templates folder to the left sidebar between two items of your choice Now you have an item named templates there. This item is also a member of the "Open from template" dialog. Unfortunately I couldn't find any application program interface to make that link automatically from the LyX application. I hope this helps.

I read the whole thread and http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8440 looks interesting. After deciding to use LyX as the tool for writing manual for software application which will be kept under DVCS (not git, but most probably Fossil), I just wonder what are your experiences with different diff tools? In one blog post, I saw that Emacs' ediff was much better thant e.g KDiff, Vim's diff... (http://rvb.mytanet.de/comparing-latex-files-with-latexdiff.shtml) but considering that so far I only keep my own docs under DVCS, I'm interested what one can expect when diff-ing LyX documents in order to try to provide merge of changes? I also wonder whether XML-based format would be better than the present one in such scenario?

Re: Regenerating Lilypond files
On 17/04/2012 10:09 AM, John McKay wrote: Yeah, I actually tried things like this. It doesn't seem to work. Even if you actually modify the file and then change it back, LyX still "knows" that the file hasn't "changed." So, I don't think whatever decision LyX is making is based on the modification timestamp. That would seem to be the easiest way to implement something like this, but LyX seems to use other criteria... anyone know what those criteria are? It is actually lilypond-book making those decisions, not LyX, and the decision is based generating a hash from the lilypond code fragments. That lilypond-book does not recognize when you modify an included file is a bug that should be reported to the LilyPond project. Or, better yet, a way to just tell LyX to re-run Lilypond for all inset files? Close and reopen the LyX file. LyX will now work from a fresh temporary directory for compilation, and lilypond-book will need to recompile every lilypond code fragment. Cheers, Julien
