Justin, If you know the filename, why don't you access a command prompt and type: locate filename | more I guess theoretically you might have to install some stuff to do that, but it's a wise investment.

Re: Tutorial sample files
I'm not quite ready to upgrade to Mavericks, but this technique is so fundamental to how OS X has worked since the very beginning I can't see Apple removing it. My search also came up empty on your issue. Try this instead: Open a Finder window, pull down the 'Go' menu and choose the 'Go to Folder...' command. Enter this in the resulting 'Go to the folder:' dialog box (note that this is case sensitive): /Applications/LyX.app/Contents -- Rich On Thu, Dec 26, 2013 at 7:04 PM, justin wrote: > > > > > That's a stumper - an empty app would have nothing to run.

I have been searching the internet for a solution, but I have not found anyone reporting if it works or not on OX 10.9. Perhaps they changed things with this new OS? The app itself is working, so maybe it is just keeping everything invisible. I am not technically proficient, so I do not know what else to do. Or is there anywhere we can just download the files which will help us learn to use lyx? Thank you!
Re: Tutorial sample files
That's a stumper - an empty app would have nothing to run. If LyX actually runs, then the app can't possibly be empty. In OS X, the Finder presents an app as a single file, but it's actually an application bundle that contains the executable and other resources (in the case of LyX the other resources include the example files). You access its contents using the 'show package contents' command as Stephen specified previously. That's been true since OS X 10.0, more than a dozen years ago. (And well before that, in NeXTSTEP, from which OS X is derived.) I would suggest having a technically adept friend look at your installation, or asking at your local Apple User Group (use this site to find your local AUG: http://appleusergroupresources.com), or making a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store. -- Rich On Thu, Dec 26, 2013 at 4:48 PM, justin wrote: > Richard Talley gmail.com> writes: > > > > > > > > > A completely empty folder?

Re: Tutorial sample files
A completely empty folder? Or a folder containing a folder named 'Contents'?

Re: g-brief template anpassen: IBAN/BIC statt Kontonummer/BLZ
Stephan, I was able to make changes to the corresponding code for the English option in g-brief.cls without any problem. (For some reason LyX wouldn’t acknowledge the “german” option for the class even if I changed my language default to German so I wasn’t able to test exactly your desired changes.) You don’t say what the error was that you got but I’m wondering if perhaps you changed a bit too much: In line 207 of g-brief.cls one finds: \def\BLZ#1{\def\blz{#1}} \def\blz{} If you happened to change that occurrence of “BLZ” to “BIC” you will definitely generate an error. -chris On Dec 25, 2013, at 12:24 PM, col...@gmx.net wrote: > Hallo (und frohe Weihnachten), > > ich schreibe mal in deutsch, da dies wohl nur deutschsprachige > Lyx-Nutzer betrifft: > > Ich benutze gerne das g-brief Template, auch wenn es etwas antiquiert > ist.
