Re: Error SIGSEGV
Thanks for the report and nice *reproducible* example of the bug -- I love bug reports from knitr users :) On Thu, Jun 12, 2014 at 12:07 PM, Richard Heck wrote: > I believe this has been fixed for 2.1.1. I can confirm that on 2.2dev, this problem has been fixed. Francesco, if you see the bug again in the next release of LyX, please let us know. The correct mailing list is lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org or you can post any bugs/feature requests on http://www.lyx.org/trac Thanks, Scott

Trouble reading EMF and EPS graphic files
Hello, I have encountered a strange problem that I never did before. The graphic files in .eps and .emf files are not properly read anymore, showing a message "error connecting to a readable format" I have never encountered this previously except that on a mac, I needed a separate software called "eps to pdf." I am working on a pc currently and I did not face this trouble previously. What might cause such a problem? thanks!

However, from what I understand, adding such support is not an entirely trivial task, partly because biblatex/biber interact with latex in a very different way from bibtex. That does not mean you are not welcome to give it a try. In fact, you strongly encouraged to do so! There were some discussions of this topic on the lyx-devel list a few months ago. You may want to search for those threads to get started. I also tend to believe that one of the reasons why biblatex support does not have a very high priority on the developers' agenda is that the current workaround (described in the wiki page you referred to) is good enough for a lot of users. It has certainly been good enough for me for a number of years. I switched to biblatex/biber to get full unicode support and avoid the kind of time-consuming issues discussed in this thread. Once you get used to loading biblatex in the preamble (and adding a fake bibtex inset at the end) it is smooth sailing. If you tend to work with the same bib files all the time (as I do), you may even create a lyx template with the proper preamble and bibtex inset and you are done.

Re: paper accepted for publication, but need help!
That is a fantastic point. Also I just found this. http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex I don't know enough about Lyx to start programing stuff for it yet but it seems like pushing biber and biblatex as the default is about 15 years overdue. If someone who knows far more about the Lyx codebase can ping me or if this would be a great feature request, I would be willing to spend some time on this. I ran into very similar problem with a name much like Jürgen and I lost a few days trying to figure it out. ~Ben On Thu, Jun 12, 2014 at 2:17 AM, Jürgen Spitzmüller wrote: > 2014-06-12 0:53 GMT+02:00 Benedict Holland: > > I think this is a problem with the default configuration, at least on >> linux.
