Goodness gracious. Just put everything in a folder and send that, which is 
precisely what MS Word does without you knowing it.

  My two-cent's worth: I've applied negative line spacing quite often using

through the menu system should do just what's needed.

classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex_biber

[Michael Berger]

Hi experts, this is just an ordinary user asking for help,

I am coming from Mageia 5 and just just installed Mageia 6

When trying to compile to PDF I get

Bibtex error: I found no \citation commandwhile reading file 
ClassicThesis.aux Bibtex error: I found no \bibdata commandwhile 
reading file ClassicThesis.aux Bibtex error: I found no \bibstyle 
commandwhile reading file ClassicThesis.aux


I've studied and tried everything similar I could find in the internet 
but nothing worked.


Needs to be mentioned that classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex_bibtex8 
produces the PDF file without any complaint.


Please, who can help with this?

Thanks,

Michael

In theory, this could probably be done using fusefs on Linux, but that's
not a general solution, and we don't automatically add images, say, to
the archive when you add a picture.

I'll think more about this. It's too late for 2.3, but it's something
that could go into 2.4.

Re: all-inclusive file format

[Roberto]

Hi Richard, thanks for bringing in your experience.

If the tar.gz was something you can "mount" like a read-write DMG it 
would make sense to say that the archive does what I have in mind. As 
far as I know one can open DMG files and edit them and close them, 
effectively saving the content. The way it is now with tar.gz for me it 
is good only for archival purposes.


Hopefully more people would enjoy having a "all-inclusive" file like 
this one.


Cheers,
Roberto

The tar.gz is an export, not a "Save", that is the difference. Save
means that you can edit it and keep saving every now and then.

Furthermore the two things are difference because you can even remove
the pictures from the disk and you still have them in the file.

What I am looking for is a LyX file that does as a MS Word file does:
one editable file contains all you need to work on the document.

One could achieve this if the LyX file was actually a directory
structure managed by LyX and when you save the file you save all the
directory structure controlled by it. The user does not need to see
all the complications about where the pictures are stored, just needs
to see the pictures in the file.


There was some discussion of such a file structure, and I did a bunch of
work on it myself a few years ago. But there were also disagreements
about how exactly it should work, so it never went anywhere. The archive
we have now was a kind of compromise. But note that it really is a
pretty good compromise. It gives you, precisely, a 'directory structure'
that contains all the files needed for that document. It's just that
it's packed into a zip file or whatever.

What it LyX was able to open such an archive directly? And what if, when
it had done so, it 'saved' the file directly to such an archive? I can
easily imagine the unpacking actually being done into the temporary
directory. This might not be very hard to achieve.

There was some discussion of such a file structure, and I did a bunch of
work on it myself a few years ago. But there were also disagreements
about how exactly it should work, so it never went anywhere. The archive
we have now was a kind of compromise. But note that it really is a
pretty good compromise. It gives you, precisely, a 'directory structure'
that contains all the files needed for that document. It's just that
it's packed into a zip file or whatever.

What it LyX was able to open such an archive directly? And what if, when

Koma-script adjustments

[F M Salter]

Hi,

Koma-script provides ways of adjusting title and author fonts and
their line spacing.  Using LyX, is it possible to alter the spacing
before and after the title and author?  Does anyone know of any way of
controlling the spacing.  Negative line spacings have no effect.

Using LyX, 2.2.3 -- Debian Jessie --  When a pdf graphic in a figure
float is clipped, the graphic does not appear in the final document.  It
appears to be necessary to reintroduce the graphic again before the
figure presents in the final document.

Re: all-inclusive file format

[Roberto]

Let me explain better. The reason for asking for a feature like that is
not that I cannot clic one more time to unpack a tar.gz :)

The tar.gz is an export, not a "Save", that is the difference. Save 
means that you can edit it and keep saving every now and then.


Furthermore the two things are difference because you can even remove 
the pictures from the disk and you still have them in the file.


What I am looking for is a LyX file that does as a MS Word file does: 
one editable file contains all you need to work on the document.


One could achieve this if the LyX file was actually a directory 
structure managed by LyX and when you save the file you save all the 
directory structure controlled by it. The user does not need to see all 
the complications about where the pictures are stored, just needs to see 
the pictures in the file.


I hope I have explained better what the use would be and how it would 
like for the user, so you know better why a tar.gz does not do the job.


Thanks,
Roberto

Roberto,

I don't think that that can ever work, given LaTeX, other than major
design change to LyX.

The one additional step of clicking on the archive after saving the
attachment isn't that inconvenient, in my view.
