LyX 1.6.7 not saving document
Dear all, I have a strange problem with LyX 1.6.7 on windows 7 x64. I cannot save any lyx document. Neither Save nor Save-as buttons work. Can anyone confirm this behavior or is there something wrong with my installation. I switched back to LyX 1.6.6 and everything is working fine. Thank you for your support. Mukhtar

It works without the saving problem.

I forgot to mention that I also tried the AltInstaller and had the same problem. The preview and export functions work but saving in the native lyx format is not working.
Displaymath at the bottom (LyX1.6RC5)
Dear LyX users and developers, It occurs to me that when I am entering display math at a point where the LyX window has nothing to show below (at the bottom of your screen), leaving the display-math takes me back to part before the display-math (instead of moving forward). This problem does not occur if you have written the text to follow. It is only when you have blank to follow. Could you confirm this behaviour please? Let me know if I have been unable to express the problem (I am not a native english speaker). Mukhtar

Re: Bounding box problem (not caused by LyX but ghostscript)
Dear Tom, I checked your figures in LyX and could verify your problem. It seems that imagemagick is culprit. I converted your eps files to pdf and included that in LyX. That was shown perfectly clipped. So you could consider switchin gto pdflatex, converting all your eps files by a script using epstopdf command from MiKTeX. That, ofcourse, will only be possible if you are not using pstricks. Mukhtar

Re: [announce] LyX 1.5rc2-27-06-2007 for Windows
- The Update installer version allows you to update your existing LyX installation to the latest version. To use this installer you must have my last development snaphot LyX 1.5rc1-31-05-2007 installed. (More infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) --- disclaimer --- The LyX 1.5 relase candidates are for testers and interested LyXers to test the new features. If you find bugs, please have a look at http://bugzilla.lyx.org and report them there if they aren't already reported. Note! LyX 1.5 nearly ready to be published as stable version, but not yet ready for production use! happy testing and best regards Uwe Dear Uwe, Thank you for your efforts. Your installer has always been more useful than the official one. There was a slight problem for me in the prveious versions. I keep a local package repository so that I am not dependent on the internet. I set MiKTeX to install packages from that local directory. Your installer changes that and MiKTeX go online for any package installation. Even if I change it afterwards, the moment I run LyX, it will change MiKTeX setup again. The official LyX installation does not change my MiKTeX settings. Would be great if you sort that out if possible. Regards Mukhtar

Re: Fully contained lyx + miktex distribution!

Moving from a desktop to laptop was as easy as extracting this zip-file. Why can't it be that easy with the new Lyx bundle at http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows ? It somehow does everything automatically, e.g. gets missing parts of MikTex etc. I don't like that, since you don't always have an internet connection, especially on travels and it is somehow stupid to download and launch the installer on every computer you have at home and then download the necessary MikTex packages. Even worse, when working with Lyx and you use some special Latex features, sometimes Lyx needs to download these missing featrues - this is user-unfriendly and annoying. Therefore, I suggest that there is a big lyx distribution in the form of a single zip-file or CD .iso that contains really everything - MikTex (everything) + Lyx + pdf viewer + etc. I guess it is difficult it would also be beneficial to have an lyx-.iso distribution which you simply mount and start working - a.k.a. PortableLYX. Cheers, Dieter To download such an .iso file will be a mess in itself. And there are always new packages and updates to MiKTeX; so an unpdate to the ISO is simply impractical. What I do is to download the whole MiKTeX package repositary once and then keep it uptodate by using the synchronisation feature of any ftp software like SmartFTP. This way I always have an uptodate version of the MiKTeX packages locally.

pdf being converted yo png
Dear all, Would you believe that my pdf graphics (created with ipe) are being converted to png when I try to export to pdf(pdflatex) or to Latex(pdflatex). If I use eps, then LyX converts to pdf, but why is it not happy with pdf. Both LyX143 and LyX150 work fine for me in that case. They both recongnise the crop-box. LyX144 not only converts to png but it ignores the crop box and create a full page of png, which in the output pdf, spreads over two pages. Would be great if someone helps me out. Mukhtar

Re: export to .eps
Paul, Thank you so much for your valuable advice. In fact this seems to be the only way to handle many equations at the same time. One of my colleagues gave me this idea which also works fine: 1) Export from LyX to dvi (say eq0.dvi) 2)in the command prompt write: dvips -E -o eq0.eps eq0.dvi you get the eps file with the correct bounding box.

export to .eps
Dear LyX users, If I have a include a mathematical equation (written in LyX) into a graphics software, I need an eps file with a bounding box which only contains the equation itself. This is how I am doing it now: -- 1) create a new LyX document and set the page style to empty 2) write down the equation 3) export the LyX document to postscript 4) convert the .ps file to .eps by using ps2eps command from gsview32 where I have to deselect calculate bounding box automatically because I need only the equation and not the white page area surrounding it The problem with this approach is that I have to do it for every equation, which is not a clever idea. It would be nice to be able to do something like this from inside LyX. One idea would be to be able to change the page size of LyX document dynamically so it only fits the content(equation); then I don't need to convert to eps because the .ps file itself is fine. Looking forward to guidance from experienced users Mukhtar

undo almost hangs LyX
Dear LyX users, I have a problem which is killing me all the time. I have turned on the MathPreview because otherwise LyX becomes very slow if there is more mathematics in my document. That solved the problem, although the document takes longer to load. But that's not the problem. When I undo (for example, after I delete an equation by mistake), all the MathPreview is gone; all the mathematics is shown in LyX format; and the document almost hangs. If I type even a single character, it takes about 3 seconds to appear on the screen. Can anyone spot what is going on here? Looking forward, Mukhtar

Now I have to use eps always, which can be created directly by many programs. Thank you all again Mukhtar
Re: LyX142 DVI
Dear Paul, Thank you for your response. I can post a minimal example, but I don't know how to attach a (graphic) file to this post? Can anyone give me a hint! Mukhtar
Re: LyX142 DVI
Dear Stephen, Thank you so much for your help. What I did not know was the email address lyx-users@lists.lyx.org. I only check the list and post thing there. Dear Paul, I have attached the two files: a LyX example and a graphic file. When I use pdflatex, everything goes fine. The problem is when I use DVI. Thanks Mukhtar fig_chapman.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document dvi_problem.lyx Description: application/lyx
Re: LyX142 DVI
Paul wrote First, setting the width of the document to 80% of the page width shows that the converted pdf is not properly cropped (a small drawing at the bottom of the page). pdf2ps fig_chapman.pdf; ps2eps fig_chapman.ps creates a properly cropped eps file to be used with dvi. If you're on Windows, pdf2ps is done by Print to file in acroread, ps2eps is here: http://www.tm.uka.de/~bless/ps2eps Paul, thank you for your guidance. I wanted to use pdflatex.

LyX142 DVI
Hi everyone, I have installed LyX142 and have a strange problem. When I include a graphics into my document, the DVI output shows the whole page of the graphics (pdf file) while it should clip to the bounding box. This was working correctly in Lyx141. Now with LyX142, I have to run pdflatex in order to see the correct graphics, clipped to the bouning box. This is frustrating. Looking forward to hear something Mukhtar
