Conversions are performed in LyX's temporary directory, in order to
avoid polluting your own directories. I do not know exactly where that
directory is on OSX. On Linux, it is at /tmp/lyx_temdir.XX, where
the X's are random characters. Inside that directory are various
subdirectories for different documents. LyX's copies the file to be
converted into the relevant directory but renames it so as to avoid
possible naming conflicts.

Hard to know why the command isn't completing. I'd suggest you try
running this sort of command from a terminal. If you can actually run it
in LyX's temporary directory, on the copied svg file.

Problem with Inkscape integration: path to SVG file converted to long filename

2016-05-12 Thread Ron Stone 
Hi,

I’ve followed the instructions at 
https://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/UseInkscapeSVGImages 
  but I’m encountering the 
following error on Mac OS El Capitan:

The command
Inkscape --file="1_Users_ronstone_Desktop_drawing.svg" --export-area-drawing 
--without-gui --export-pdf="1_Users_ronstone_Desktop_drawing.pdf"
has not yet completed.

The SVG file I am trying to incorporate is drawing.svg, on the desktop (same 
location as the .lyx file that is using it). I don’t understand the conversion 
of the full file path to: 1_Users_ronstone_Desktop_drawing.svg in the above 
error message. Where is that filename coming from?

Thanks.

I think it would be better to put it in /usr/local/bin.
Restart and it will work.

I downloaded the latest biber-linux_x86_64.tar.gz from
SourceForge and extracted it in my /home/Downloads/
Can it remain there or where should it better be? Is a texhash
sufficient to make it available to lyx?

The old biber is at
which biber
/usr/bin/biber
Could I just replace it with the ne one?
