Please step at least one time through the LyX tutorial that you find in LyX's help menu. This takes you only an hour or two and then you know all the basics. For more detailed information about images and Floats, see the either the UserGuide sec. 4.4 and 4.6 or, more detailed, he EmbeddedObjects manual chapter 1 and 3. regards Uwe PS: I recognise that it's mostly my problem, but I have trouble with some of the LyX documentation; The Intro manual consists of only a few pages and gives you an overview about the documentation files. In the Tutorial you learn how to Navigate easily through large files like the userGuide. regards Uwe

The export should only generate a latex, with the name of the file that I give in the includegraphics and not modification of the extension. If you would only use image formats that can directly be embedded into PDF no image conversion would be necessary. This saves a lot of compilation time and also no images need to be regenerated. See the LyX UserGuide sec. A.1.13 and sec. 3.8.2. However, exporting the document is only necessary a few times when your document is ready to be published or printed. If you view your document the images are once stored in a temp folder and cached. This saves a lot of compilation times and you don't see recreated images. regards Uwe

We support to set every color for \color{}, see the document settings -> color
section.
We support the same for \pagecolor and the color of notes and boxes.
For \textcolor{} this is not that easy to do. We tried that once but this requires a lot of work.
There is already an enhancement request in our bugtracker and perhaps somebody has time to work on
this for the next LyX release. However, it is a good style not to use more than a few colors and for
that matter we support already 8 colors.

Preparing and inserting figures into LyX document
With LyX working nicely with my text-input, I now need to learn how to prepare and insert figures in that text. 1. Given my system -- MacOSX 10.7.5, LyX 2.0.5.1 -- where best to start drawing for LyX? 2. What search-terms are best for learning how to insert such figures into my document? PS: I recognise that it's mostly my problem, but I have trouble with some of the LyX documentation; also with archive-search. It's therefore very helpful when I'm given some early pointers and advice. When I'm more familiar with the LyX scene, I plan to contribute to the documentation team as a "concerned beginner/user." Thank you; Gordon -- MacOSX 10.7.5, LyX 2.0.5.1

Re: My hyperlinks and urls are not working in Adobe or Okular but do work
Great, thanks Richard. I was putting together some notes on using LyX with R for a friend and didn't want him to be less than impressed with my efforts in LyX. Though, perhaps, I could have told him that I had written it in Word. Now to figure out the Adobe/Okular problem!

Exportation
Hello, I have another issue with the latex file exporation. If I choose the plain option, the .eps files are regenerated. If I choose the pdflatex option, the .pdf files are regenerated. I would like to have the option of not regenerating any image file that I may have. The export should only generate a latex, with the name of the file that I give in the includegraphics and not modification of the extension. Does it make sense?

Please file an enhancement request on trac. It probably isn't that hard,
but it would mean changing how the Edit>Text Style box works.
Definitely too late for 2.1, though.
