Re: Restore original layout for Source and Progress panes

[Gilles Moyse]

I found a quicker solution than reinstalling the whole software, by simply
deleting the registry entry "layout" under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\LyX2.1\views\0. I think deleting the line in
lyx.conf for Unix users should work as well.

The problem is that other layout configurations are lost as well, as the
visible toolbars and their locations. But at least it restores the original
layout for the Source and Message panes.

If someone is interested to automate it, here is the command to run on
Windows 7 :
Reg delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\LyX2.1\views\0 /v layout /f

Re: Restore original layout for Source and Progress panes

[Gilles Moyse]

It doesn't work in my case (Lyx 2.1.3), there is no such button when the
pane is undocked.

When I looked in my registry (I'm using the Windows version during the
week-end) I found the following values for what seems to me related to the
panes Progress and Source :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\LyX2.1\views\0\progress]
"geometry"=hex:40,00,42,00,79,00,74,00,65,00,41,00,72,00,72,00,61,00,79,00,28,00,01,00,d9,00,d0,00,cb,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,ff,00,ff,00,fc,00,cf,00,ff,00,ff,00,fb,00,76,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,fc,00,cf,00,ff,00,ff,00,fb,00,76,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,ff,00,ff,00,00,00,00,00,29,00
"autoclear"="true"
"statusbarmsgs"="true"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\LyX2.1\views\0\view-source]
"geometry"=hex:40,00,42,00,79,00,74,00,65,00,41,00,72,00,72,00,61,00,79,00,28,00,01,00,d9,00,d0,00,cb,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,00,55,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,da,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,00,55,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,da,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,29,00
"autoupdate"="true"

Do you know where are the original values for the "geometry" fields in
order to restore the 2 panes in their original state?

Thanks in advance,

Gilles

Re: Restore original layout for Source and Progress panes

[Gilles Moyse]

I tried that but it only undocks the pane. What I would like to do is
restore the original layout where the bottom of the screen is made of one
block containing the source pane on the left and the message pane on the
right.

Restore original layout for Source and Progress panes

[Gilles Moyse]

Dear all,

I cannot find a way to restore the original side by side layout of the
Source and Progress panes in Lyx. If I mistakenly move one of those, I
cannot dock it back to its original position, I can only add it as a tab,
thus preventing to have both views at once.

In this thread
, I
learnt that the configuration file storing the panes' locations parameters
was the Registry in Windows and ~/.config/Lyx/lyx.conf in Linux.

Unfortunately, this data is not easily editable since it is stored in some
kind of hexadecimal format. Since what I'd like is restoring the original
panes' layout, do you know where can I find the original lyx.conf file so
as to restore their values in the appropriate fields (1\progress\geometry
and 1\view-source\geometry) ?

Thanks in advance,

Gilles

Re: Lyx doesn't compile but Export Tex then pdfLatex does

[Gilles Moyse]

Thank you Scott for your answer. Indeed, I forgot to remove the code from
the preamble, sorry for that. Moreover, since you told me that ERT and
relative paths could be the key, I removed the "\includegraphics"and
replaced them include the graphics with its Lyx version through Insert /
Graphics, and it worked under Windows.

To conclude, relative paths in ERT work correctly with Linux, not with
Windows, which is somewhat related to the bug
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/1751

Lyx does not recompile after a change in a child document

[Gilles Moyse]

Dear all,

I am currently writing my thesis and have found a strange problem which
started occurring right now. I have a master document and several child
docs for each chapter. When I change something in one of them and hit
"Update Master Document", the whole doc is recompiled and updated in the
viewer (Sumatra in this case).
But with one of the child document, nothing happens when I change something
and ask for recompilation.

I am unfortunately not able to provide a MWE since I cannot reproduce it
with a simpler doc. I was wondering if a similar issue was known?

Thanks in advance,

Gilles

Change the location of the #name.lyx# file

[Gilles Moyse]

Hello.

I noticed that #filename.lyx# files where created in the same directory
than filename.lyx. However, these files are not always created. Moreover, I
set the "Backup directory" and "Temporary directory" in Tools / Preferences
/ Path, but the ## files are still created.

Do you know how can I tell Lyx where to store them?

Thanks!

Compile child document with cross-references

[Gilles Moyse]

I am currently working on a thesis document made of one master and several
child documents, one for each chapter.

I am using the procedure described in
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Multidoc#multipart-bib to use a separate
bibliography when compiling only one chapter (i.e. only one child document).

Though it works for the bibliography, it does not for the chapter number
and the cross-references. The former appears as Chapter 1, and the latter
as question marks.

Is there a way to compile the child document only with the correct chapter
number and cross-references?

Thanks in advance!

Share modules from master to child documents

[Gilles Moyse]

I would like to know if there is a way to automatically include the modules
from the master into the child documents? For instance, I would like all
the child documents to use the Theorems module. Instead, of specifying it
in each child doc, I would like to specify once in the master. Is it
possible?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks a lot, this is actually the file I was looking for. Unofrtunately, it
is not easy to edit manually. Since I am trying to restore the orginal
layout of the Source and Messages panes side by side, which I cannot restore
using the mouse, I am going to try to download the lyx. conf file from the
GitHub and overwrite mine.

Windows 7 - Where does Lyx stores my user interface configuration?

[Gilles Moyse]

Hi.

Following this post (
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/84619), I am looking for
the location of the file where Lyx stores my user interface configuration
under Windows 7.

I tried to find it by opening Lyx, selecting a new toolbar to be displayed
with View / Toolbar, closing Lyx and looking for the files just modified,
but I could only find a file named "session" in my user directory
(~\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.1\) containing cursor locations in recently opened
files.

Do you know where the file containing the user interface location is?

Thanks in advance,

Gilles

Set location of Source and Messages panes in Lyx UI

[Gilles Moyse]

Hi.

I have got a slight problem to set the location of the Source and Messages
panes in the Lyx UI (Debian, LyX Version 2.1.3). For some reason, my Lyx UI
has been reset, so the Source and Messages panes were not displayed. After
having them displayed again (View / Source Pane and View / Messages Pane),
I cannot find a way to display them side by side: they are either undocked
and hence on top of the main pane, or displayed as two tabs - I cannot have
them shown simultaneously side by side.

Am I missing something ?

Thanks,

Gilles

Table ok on output but too large in UI

[Gilles Moyse]

Hello.

I am a frequent Lyx user and first of all would like to thank the team for
this wonderful software!

It usually deals with tables very well, but I noticed that setting column
width may yield a correct PDF output but an incorrect display on screen in
the User Interface. More precisely, selecting a cell in the last column of
my table hides the first one and part of the second, making it difficult to
figure out my location in the table.

I saw that adding horizontal scroll bars in tables had been discussed at
some point (http://wiki.lyx.org/GSoC/HorizontalScrollbar), but I was
wondering about its progress.Moreover, I also looked at Local Layouts, but
could not figure out how to manually set the size of the columns in the
user interface.

Actually, what I would like to do is to set the column width on the user
interface on the one hand, and to keep on setting it for Latex through the
standard dialog box on the other, so that even though the display in the UI
is not exactly what it will be in the output doc (which is in fact already
the case as of today), the document is easily edited in the UI and
correctly generated. Do you think this is feasible easily with the current
Lyx version (I'm using 2.1.2 on Debian)?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Gilles
