search text without note-content

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Hi,

is there a way to avoid that notes are searched? I have a lot of notes 
which I don't like to delete. Searching would be much faster, if I could 
skip them. 
Alternatively, can I delete all the notes at once thus creating another  
lyx file without notes in which I could search?
Thanks,

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

Look in the Customization manual. Search for spellcheck:
Spellcheck [0, 1] Allow spell-checking paragraphs of this style.
Default is true.

Yes. Look in the LFUN manual. See inset-forall. This might work:

Don't think so.

A possible workaround, although not very comfortable, is to search in the PDF 
output and use reverse search to synchronize the LyX workarea.

(reverse search is described in sec. 5.6 of the Additional manual,

The explanation goes like
  * Note:Note means all note inset of type LyX Note. You could use
Note:Comment or Footnote. These neames are the same that are used in 
layout files.
  * You can use inset type * to match all insets and simply Note to

Upright Greek is a known problem.

Re: Lyx on MacBook Pro retina

[Julian Kolm]

Hi, I think it is a real pity that this issue is dormant at the moment. It
really makes lyx almost impossible to use for writing long text and that is
the major use case after all. Since the number of people who will be
affected by this is bound to rise a fix would really be appreciated.

I do not know whether this helps a potential developer taking up the issue
but using lyx under Windows on a MacBook Pro Retina works without a
Problem. If someone would decide to take this up I could offer testing as
the hardware is probably not that common.

Regards,
Julian

It happens \Omega is 0x00ad - so it's special. But it looks like this special

Good point. But unfortunately there are only one or two Mac developers
around here, and I'm not even sure they have the hardware to test the
retina display.

This asymmetry between many users and only a couple of developers
makes me wonder if this situation is good for a sponsorship. If
everyone donated a little, maybe it would make it more worthwhile to
the developer (or at least show the developer that some people care
and are happy to help contribute). I have no idea how much work would
be required for this or if any developer would want to spend their
free time working on it. See http://www.lyx.org/Donate for past

Good point. But unfortunately there are only one or two Mac developers
around here, and I'm not even sure they have the hardware to test the
retina display.

This asymmetry between many users and only a couple of developers
makes me wonder if this situation is good for a sponsorship. If
everyone donated a little, maybe it would make it more worthwhile to
the developer (or at least show the developer that some people care
and are happy to help contribute). I have no idea how much work would
be required for this or if any developer would want to spend their
free time working on it. See http://www.lyx.org/Donate for past
sponsors.

search text without note-content

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Hi,

is there a way to avoid that notes are searched? I have a lot of notes 
which I don't like to delete. Searching would be much faster, if I could 
skip them. 
Alternatively, can I delete all the notes at once thus creating another  
lyx file without notes in which I could search?
Thanks,

Hi Wolfgang,

Look in the Customization manual. Search for "spellcheck":

Yes. Look in the LFUN manual. See inset-forall. This might work:
inset-forall Note delete-char-forward

Don't think so.

A possible workaround, although not very comfortable, is to search in the PDF 
output and use reverse search to synchronize the LyX workarea.

(reverse search is described in sec. 5.6 of the "Additional" manual, 
"Handbuchergänzungen" in German).

For spellchecking, there is even a preference entry "Exlude Notes and 
comments". However, this has no impact on searching.

Ah, yes. Forgot about this. The correct syntax, though, is

Oh, yes. But still:
how do get it to work? LFUN Help is too short for my IQ

Could somebody explain how to go from my
lyx-file with yellow notes (note-note)
to another lyx-file without notes-notes?

Is it a command outside lyx where the file is part of the command?

Sorry to bother you again

but thankful:

Wolfgang

From the LFUN help:
LFUN_INSET_FORALL

Action Apply the given commands on insets of a given name.

Notion WARNING: use at your own risks; this function gives you too many 
ways of shooting yourself in the foot. A typical example is inset-forall 
Note note-insert which starts an infinite loop. This is mitigated by the 
fact that the number of actions is arbitrarily limited to 10. Note also 
that inset-forall does not update metrics between iterations, which can 
lead to bugs. This has to be eventually fixed.

Syntax inset-forall  : Type of Inset. If  
is *, all insets are matched. The name is used like for InsetLayout in 
layout files: "Note" matches all note insets, while "Note:Note" only matches 
LyX yellow note insets.

Sample Remove all index insets:inset-forall Index delete-
char-forwardClose all Notes (also works for a particular branch, for 
example):  inset-forall Note inset-toggle closeTransform all 
yellow notes to comments   inset-forall Note:Note inset-modify 
note Note CommentTry to put LyX in an infinite loop if there is at least a 
Note:  inset-forall Note char-backward

I think, the problem is in GuiPainter.cpp line 356 etc.

==
// Qt4 does not display a glyph whose codepoint is the

It happens \Omega is 0x00ad - so it's special. But it looks like this special

Good point. But unfortunately there are only one or two Mac developers
around here, and I'm not even sure they have the hardware to test the
retina display.

This asymmetry between many users and only a couple of developers
makes me wonder if this situation is good for a sponsorship. If
everyone donated a little, maybe it would make it more worthwhile to
the developer (or at least show the developer that some people care
and are happy to help contribute). I have no idea how much work would
be required for this or if any developer would want to spend their
free time working on it. See http://www.lyx.org/Donate for past
sponsors.

Best,
