Re: my file does not compile to pdf anymore

[Niko Schwarz]

Ok, I discovered something. Only the version I sent you is broken. Going one
version back, QUITTING LYX and restarting lyx, then loading the older
version – works fine. Apparantly the last save broke something that takes
lyx with it. It is not just my machine, my other Mac cannot compile the last
version, either.
So, with the reverted version I can keep working. I can simply redo the last
work, it is only like 10 minutes.

If you want to debug what went wrong there, please don't hesitate asking me
for whatever I can offer.

Re: my file does not compile to pdf anymore

[Niko Schwarz]

alright, i know what happened. I was adding page numbers to a citation, the
page numbers were "pp.485–488", where the hyphen is some strange uni-code
uber-thing that kills lyx it comes within 3 miles of lyx. once you do that,
you need to delete it and restart lyx.
Do not use fancy characters in citations!

fig script

[Niko Schwarz]

Ok, this is interesting. I have 2 mac machines. Apparantly, their  
setup is not entirely identical.


One of them prings the .fig images perfectly, the other one makes them  
pixely and turned 90 °. Turns out that the fig2pdftex.py script fails.


Here's what I see on the command line:

bash-3.2$ python /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/ 
fig2pdftex.py combinatorical\ explosion.fig explo.pdft

File combinatorical does not exist
Command 'fig2dev -Lpdftex -p1 combinatorical explosion.fig explo.pdf'  
fails.

bash-3.2$

Ok, so I immediately guessed that renaming the file to combi.fig would  
fix the problem and it was true. Just funny that on my other Mac  
machine can handle spaces in file names while the other cannot. Both  
use Lyx 1.6.1.

Literature references end in a question mark some of the time.

[Niko Schwarz]

Ok, one strange thing that has happened to me a little bit too often lately
was that when quoting some literature, instead of a reference like [1]
(using natbib), i only get a question mark, like [? ].
This is really strange and I don't know why it happens. Deleting the
reference and recreating it sometimes helps. Other times, it is helpful to
change the quote to quote 2 things at the same time, which then usually
works. I feel more like a computer-mythologist.

I thought that JabRef together with Lyx would make it nearly impossible to
get the quotes wrong. What is happening? What information should I provide
so you will know what is happening?

Re: Does the version management work under windows?

[Niko Schwarz]

I think this argument is a little categorical.
There are many frameworks that would do the version management. But choosing
one for the user and recommending it by making it the default is making life
for users easier.

And well, the binary I downloaded was platform dependent, it was a .exe
file.

But the net benefit would be that enabling version management would be as
easy as clicking into the file menu as opposed to making your way through
the already impressive documentation.

Just my 2 cents.

Re: And where do I put my new module file?

[Niko Schwarz]

Well, ok, I did it. But I don't like it. Until now, I could tell a friend to
just copy the folder, open the .lyx and it would work. Now that's changed
and it's not cool!
It should REALLY be possible to include them like pictures.

And for above reasons, I think I am interested in the undocumented, hacky

 Look at HelpAbout LyX. This will tell you where your user directory is.
 Say it's c:\mydir\lyx\. Then put the module in c:\mydir\lyx\layouts\. Then
 do ToolsReconfigure, and restart LyX.

  DocumentSettingsModules.

  Actually! My module kind of belongs to this document. Much like the
 pictures that are attached to it. Isn't it possible to put the module into
 the same directory and include it like a picture? The directory is
 synchronized with a bunch of other machines, so I'd love this approach for I
 wouldn't need to mess with the different latex installations (Miktex vs.

Re: And where do I put my new module file?

[Niko Schwarz]

Richard,
I think there's a point to bundled documents, like Apple does it with their
.pages things.

But for me, it doesn't need to be so bundled. All the stuff in the same
directory is quite enough for me. I have dropbox synchronize the directory
and everything's fine. Only if I have to change things outside my document
directory, like modifying several lyx and latex installations, things become
tricky.

All the best,

 If you look at the file Customization.lyx---not in LyX itself, open it in a
 text editor---you'll find a section of the document preamble that begins
 \begin_local_layout followed by some layout code. You can create such a
 section yourself in your own files, again by opening them in a text editor
 and adding this code manually. But, as I said, this is not documented and is

Does the version management work under windows?

[Niko Schwarz]

ok, i think i figured this out. i needed to install more miktex packages. it
runs now.
but the version management does not work at all. i see it complain that some
ci tool is returning an error. there is no ci tool installed at all, so im
not surprised.

it does not appear in the cygwin tree, so im uncertain if i can do a thing
about it.

what do i do?

some more environments

[Niko Schwarz]

Hello!
I'd like to define a few more math environments and I have no idea how. I
don't want too many. I use all kinds of extensions to AMS, and it has really
useful environments, but I want one more, and I want to be able to select it
in lyx.

Basically, it should be the same like the lemma environment. Only the name
should be different. I want a data reduction environment. How can I create
one?

cheers,

niko

more questions

[Niko Schwarz]

i also want to write some numbers in a typewriter font, because they all
have the same length. actually, what i have is input to a computational
problem and i'm still figuring how to typeset it all right.
I have an input pair (S,r). And i want to describe two strings s_1, s_2 \in
S:
s_1 = 1010110011
s_2 = 1011100010

how can i typeset this well?

version control under osx, lyx 1.6.0 crashes

[Niko Schwarz]

Hello!
So, when I check in, lyx crashes (after checking in), on checkout, it
crashes, too.
I can send my file through PM; it is my unfinished thesis, so i'd like it to
be somewhat confidential.

Best regards,
