yes and no:
- the setting persists, if I just close the file in LyX and click on the same 
file in the finder

It is gone/forgotten:
- if I open another file (this might be intended)
- if I close LyX in the dock, so that LyX is totally closed and then click on 
the file again

not, not really: It works on 10.13 and 10.15 if I open Lyx directly, 
If I double-click on a file in the finder it is gone...
both LyX 2.3.6.3

Using Lyx with git (instead of RCS)

[Robert Neumann]

Hello,
does anybody have experience using LyX with git?
My observations with 2.3.3 on a mac 10.13
- I have to add a lyx file manually using the terminal and "git add“ otherwise 
I get an error message
- If the file is moved to a subdirectory, it is not working anymore, so it 
seems to work only, if the file is not moved in a subdirectory

(-is there a way to have the version-control-menue showed permanently, I have 
to activate it manualle everytime

thanks!

version control with RCS with LyX 2.3.3 on a mac with nextcloud-folders

[Robert Neumann]

Hello,
I am using Lyx 2.3.3 on a Mac with OS 10.13 and a Nextcloud-folder
I installed RCS, and as long as I use it, the version controll works fine. As 
soon as I acces the file from another Computer it does not work properly 
anymore. I get this message:

Bei der Ausführung des Befehls /while executing
'co -p1.1 "Rundbrief_3_2021.lyx" > 
"/var/folders/fk/c_b11rp52kzddr83ky_w8d7mgn/T/lyx_tmpdir.jTeYDZU10377/lyxvcrev_1.1_.V10377"'
 ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.  / there was an error

and when I try to check in the changes:

Bei der Ausführung des Befehls / while executing
'ci -q -u -m"(keine Protokollmeldung)“ „test.lyx"' ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. 
/ there was an error

So this seems to my, that the version control accesses some tmp-file which – of 
course – is not available on the other computer. I am not sure, if it might be 
a good idea, to change the tmp-path to the nextcloud. Especially since the 
local paths are different.

Change indent of section number in toc

[Robert Neumann]

Hello,
I am writing a text using article.
Now I would like to increase the indent in the section and subsection- lines in
the toc.
I'm talking about the indent before the actual section-number.
(The reason is, that I have 3 different parts, with sections from 1 to 5, I use
setcounter to set the sectioncounter to 0 at the beginning of each part.)
I downloaded the tocloft-package, but I cannot figure out, how to change the
indent just for the sections and subsections...

BTW I use Lyx 1.34 on Suse Linux (please don't ask me to upgrade, I do this for
good reasons, I allready discussed here)

Problems with new font

[Robert Neumann]

Hello,
I installed a new font in my LaTeX 2.02 on a Suse Linux 9.1 The creation of all
the necessary files worked fine.
I did all the installation of files as root, but all files are readable to all
users.
When I use Lyx as root it works fine and I can create a pdf.
But as soon as I log in as normal user I cannot create a pdf with lyx directly,
I get an error message, which just tells me, that there was a fault executing

When I export it as dvi and use dvips file.ps it works. 

My files are in the following directories:

I added p +llc.map in the config.ps file in var/lib/texmf/dvips/config
I added a file llc.map in the same directory, this file contains the line
llcr8r LucidaCasual TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont 8r.enc llcr8a.pfb

The file llcr8a.pfb lies in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/lucida


Thanks for any hints...

Re: Problems with new font

[Robert Neumann]

OK, I checked the permissions, there was a fault now everything ist perfect.
The reason why I don't upgrade ist that Lyx with teTeX 2.02 is much faster to
produce pdfs than all newer versions!
My typical files have 200 pages and 100 eps figures.
I discussed this rather strange behavior  a couple of years ago and decided to
stick to the old lyx

 If you use Coreldraw, don't export to jpg you graphic, but directly to eps 
 type 2 and you will have best quality and no pixelated contours.

thats what I did, normaly I do the complete drawing but in this case I had to
include a jg.
With GIF-Export it works fairly well, thats what I found out the last days.

Re: Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

[Robert Neumann]

 What I do not understand is:If you compare LyX 1.3 and LyX 1.6 on the same 
 system (using the same LaTeX installation), do you see a delay then?

As far as I remember: no. But I remember that it was extremly difficult to
install 1.4 on the SuSE Linux, because of YAST, which sticks to the lyx, that
came with the distribution. (And I'm not such a Linux Pro that I could override
this).
I just installed a newer Linux with a newer Lyx and was very surprised to find
out, that everything was slow suddenly.

Re: Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

[Robert Neumann]

Hi Steve,
thanks for the shell skript. I will work with this later, unfortunately I have
only my old Lyx 1.3.4 on an old Suse Linux 9.1 and because of YAST I could not
install a newer Lyx on the same machine. But I have a Lyx 1.5 on a Suse Linux 
11.
It is a strange situation now:
- I tried with Lyx 1.5 (Suse 11): no pixels
- I checked the ps-File on Lyx 1.3 (Suse 9.1): no pixels

So I figured out that the problem would be with ps2pdf on the old linux. I
replaced the ps2pdf on the Suse 9.1 with the one from the Linux 11: still 
pixels.
So this seems really strange to me, cause I can see no other source for the
pixelation than the ps2pdf, if the ps is ok...

Robert

Re: Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

Hello Wayan,
I usually use eps for all my vektordrawings, but once in a while I have 
to include an jpg, but the funny thing is, that it works with Lyx 1.5 
on a Suse 11,so it seems to be possible. The ps-File on my old Suse with
Lyx 1.3 has no pixels either when I export to ps(as I just posted in 
reply to Steve) but when I use the ps2pdf from the new Linux on the old 
Linux, it still has pixels. So it is very odd to figure out where the 
problem lies.

on a Suse 11,so it seems to be possible. The ps-File on my old Suse with
Lyx 1.3 has no pixels either when I export to ps(as I just posted in 
reply to Steve) but when I use the ps2pdf from the new Linux on the old 
Linux, it still has pixels. So it is very odd to figure out where the 
problem lies.

Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

[Robert Neumann]

Hello,
I have a problem with the quality of jpg-images.
I have a jpg image with best quality, made with coreldraw (actually I use
coreldraw to to work on the existing jpg-file, which contains function-graphs
and other curves)
When I open it, the quality is good, there are no little dots from the
compression around the numbers.
Them I create a pdf with ps2pdf and I get lots of these little dots.
So the jpg quality seems to be reduced by lyx during the export process, because
the dvi is fine. 
I just need to use ps2pdf, because the pdf is processed at another place and
they can only deal with pdfs made with ps2pdf
I' using Lyx 1.3.4 on a Suse Linux (and I dont want to update, because all new
lyx are slower it has to to with the latex)
Thanks Robert

Re: Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

[Robert Neumann]

Thankx for the very nice advice, especially the sarcastic note!
I write books with about 250 pages and 10 pic. On the old Lyx it takes 
around 25 sec. to produce a pdf, on the newer lyx it takes around 40 sec.
When I do the final work I have to produce quite a lot of pdfs to check 
the pages. So just give it a try and count twenty times to 40... this is 
very hard to stand.
So, thats why I HAVE to use the old Lyx and I hope somebody has a better 
advice...
Regards
Robert

Re: Problems with jpg-quality with ps2pdf

[Robert Neumann]

 It would be interesting to know what exactly causes this difference.

I spent two days on this, a couple of years ago, then I gave up and switched
back to the old Lyx. You can find the discussion here:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/34234/focus=34251

It was definitely a big time-difference, with the books I was writing on with my
last machine, it increased from 8 sec. to 25 or so and this feels like hours;-)
I think it is no lyx problem but a latex-caused problem.

Robert

Formatting TOC , change vertical distance

Hello,
is there a way to change the distance between the toc-entries?

But the vertical distance between the last subsection-entry and the next

How to stop color-profile changing from CMYK to RGB?

[Robert Neumann]

Hello,
I have some eps files (graphics) included in the header of my lyx-file. 
I do this in the preamble which works perfectly.
I export the file to pdf which works as well.
Now I found out that the color-profile of the pdf-file is RGB instead 
of the original CMYK-Profile of the graphics.
How can I prevent Lyx of doing this?
I use Lyx 1.36 with Suse 8.2 or Lyx 1.37 on Windows xp.
I tried to export a ps, but this causes errors while using the acrobat
distiller...

Re: change vertical space after equations

[Robert Neumann]

 1. Put the vspace at the end of the paragraph containing
 the math, rather than in the beginning of the next paragraph.
this just adds space before the math

 you'll have to add a paragraph spacing distance to the
 negative distance to make up for the extra paragraph.
this sounds like a good idea, thanks

Re: Lyx 144 on Intel Mac: problems with large documents

[Robert Neumann]

Thanks,
 Part of the issue may stem from your having LyX display
 the graphics; doing this requires that LyX convert the graphics one-

ok, I will turn of the graphics preview, I dont really need it.

 The other issue -- taking a long time view a pdf of your document --

 typesetting tasks to LaTeX, which then runs in the background. My 240-

Lyx 144 on Intel Mac: problems with large documents

[Robert Neumann]

Hello,
I just installed lyx 144 sucessfully on a macbook core duo. Opening and 
working on a document with 40 pages was no problem (well scrolling up 
and down was a bit sluggish...)
But when I opened a document with 290 pages and about 80 figures lyx 
hangs itself at the first attempt. At the second it opened the document 
but when I tried the pdf-preview I had to close Lyx after waiting for 3 
minutes with the fan running like a hair blower.
Is this a known issue for the mac? I know that lyx is much slower on 
windows  than on linux but I thought with OS X beeing close to linux it 
would be as fast as with linux...
