Re: left justify floats?
You need to define a converter in ToolsSettings Converter E.g. a PDF-EPS converter should help. Ok I have now added: From format: PDF (pdflatex) To format: Postscript which results in this string in the Converter box: fig2dev -L png $$i $$o But I still get the same error.

Keep LyX from editing the preample?
I don't like the way LyX semi-controls the preample. If you want to specify the geometry for a page with commands different from the LyX way they need to be inserted before the pagestyle, but this is currently impossible. Either the preample should be completely controlled by LyX or not at all, the current semi solution only results in confusion on what is specified and what is not in my case. Is there someway to have complete control over the preample without using the initial LyX commands? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Keep-LyX-from-editing-the-preample--tp14999696p14999696.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Presentations in LyX?
I normally use:

when I create presentations in LaTeX. But how compatible is LyX with Beamer?
I just imported an old beamer tex file, but it looks very confusing. Am I
better of using a traditional latex editor for presentations/beamers?

Re: Compiling Root document from child document?
If I compile the child separately the references from my .bib file does not show (only appears as question marks).

Right. You must compile the main file, not the children, if you want the full document with proper cross references. This is no different than LaTeX. There you still must compile the main file and not the children. In LaTeX the problem is even a bit worse because a child will not compile at all because all of the latex preamble stuff is missing. So LyX seems to be better than LaTeX in this regard, although not perfect since, as you point out, references are broken... I know that it works with Kile for linux.

Thanks. Jürgen Spitzmüller-2 wrote: bigblop wrote: Is there someway to compile the main.lyx file from a child document? If you have opened the child document from the master document (or after you have once processed the master), you can compile the master from the child with the command master-buffer-update pdf2 (for pdflatex, as an example; there's also master-buffer-view and you can substitute pdf2 by any output format). You can either input this command in the minibuffer, or you can create your own toolbar or menu item or shortcuts for this. In fact, you can even replace the standard commands buffer-view and buffer-update with these, since if no master is found, the document itself gets compiled. In 1.6, things will get a bit easier. There you can allocate a master buffer to a child in the document dialog, so the first step is not needed anymore.

VERY fustrating problem with the LyX and Child documents!
I have a problem using child documents in a LyX document. When I compile from the child documents the PDF is not always updated. I have tried installing the latest version of LyX: LyX 1.6.2 released. (Mar 15, 2009) but I still get the same error. Here is what I do: 1) Open the master document 2) Compile the master document using: master-buffer-update pdf2 3) Preview the master document using (which opens a preview PDF in Sumatra PDF): buffer-view pdf2 4) Open a child document, add some text and from the child document run the compile command: master-buffer-update pdf2 After 4) I don't see the new text in the PDF previewer (sumatra PDF). I have tried going back to the master document and run: master-buffer-update pdf2 but the pdf preview is still not updated. Sometimes (ONLY sometimes) the changes in the child document appears if I create a new line in the master document and then compile it (the new line must be inserted at a new position each time). Otherwise I have to close and reopen LyX and then compile again to see the changes. I have written many projects (60-80 pages typically) before using many child documents using the above procedure without any problems. This error is especially frustrating since it only appears sometimes and only sometimes can be solved inserting a new line in the master document. Any ideas why LyX suddenly stops working with child documents?

Re: VERY fustrating problem with the LyX and Child documents!
Having located the area where the error occurs I have found two ways of solving the problem. In the LyX master file the content comes in the following order: 1) - a (possibly corrupted) .tiff image inserted in a figure. 2) - page break 3) - section 4) - Input: child.lyx ... If I either choose to remove the image 1) OR remove the following pagebreak 2), the child document gets updated correctly. It would make sense if it only helped to remove the image but actually it also solves the problem to remove the pagebreak. I had a LyX crash where I got the following info: convert: C:/Users/bob/AppData/Local/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.p18708/gconvert0.q18708.tif: unknown field with tag 37724 (0x935c) encountered. `TIFFReadDirectory' @ tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/526.

Re: Child document not updated
I have now tried to update to 1.6.3 on my vista64 machine but have the same
problem.
If I type ½ in the child document it sometime gets updated correctly. When I
look in the source ½ is \textonehalf{} maybe this trigger something in the
compilation - makes no sense at all.
I have tried creating the same files in a fresh installation of LyX (1.6.2)
on Ubuntu 9.04 and get the same problem - its as if some of the child
documents are totally disconnect from the main even though I have specified
the main for each child.
Hopefully I can find 1.6 version of LyX (As far as I remember it did not
have this bug).

Re: Child document not updated
Using 1.6 instead did not help.
I have made a minimal example:
http://37133.vs.webtropia.com/apache2-default/test.zip
I run it like this with LyX 1.6.3 on vista64:
1) From master run master-buffer-update pdf2.
2) From master run buffer-view pdf2.
3) Click each of the child document and choose edit (opens in a new tab).
4) Choose child2, write some text and execute master-buffer-update pdf2.
Now when I look in the previewer the updates made in child2 are not visible.
If I do the same thing for child1 the updates are visible. Its seems that
its only child2 thats disconnected. I have tried adding a child3 after
child2 and it gets updated correctly too.
Now here comes the wierd part. If I type '½' using the keyboard button in
child2 and then run master-buffer-update pdf2 it gets updated! Though it
typically only works the first time.
I have been able to reproduce this error on my desktop PC/vista64, my
laptop/winXP and on another machine running Ubuntu 9.04.
Any ideas appreciated!

Re: left justify floats?
Hm it seems that I cannot include a pdf file even though it get shown in the pdfpreview. I get the error: "Error converting to loadable format" in LyX. When I press the edit button after clicking on the float I get: No information for editing PDF (ps2pdf) Is it not possible to include PDF in LyX files?

Re: left justify floats?
You need to define a converter in Tools>Settings Converter E.g. a PDF->EPS converter should help. Ok I have now added: >From format: PDF (pdflatex) To format: Postscript which results in this string in the Converter box: fig2dev -L png $$i $$o But I still get the same error. Do I have to manually write some obscure converter command to make it work? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/left-justify-floats--tp14686440p14753639.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Keep LyX from editing the preample?
I don't like the way LyX semi-controls the preample. If you want to specify the geometry for a page with commands different from the LyX way they need to be inserted before the pagestyle, but this is currently impossible. Either the preample should be completely controlled by LyX or not at all, the current semi solution only results in confusion on what is specified and what is not in my case. Is there someway to have complete control over the preample without using the initial LyX commands? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Keep-LyX-from-editing-the-preample--tp14999696p14999696.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Presentations in LyX?
I normally use:
\documentclass{beamer}
when I create presentations in LaTeX. But how compatible is LyX with Beamer?
I just imported an old beamer tex file, but it looks very confusing. Am I
better of using a traditional latex editor for presentations/beamers?

Input files in LyX
How do I split files in LyX when writing a larger project? I have made a main.lyx file and a test.lyx file. In the main.lyx file I use insert-->file-->Lyx document...to insert test.lyx. But when making a change to test.lyx it does not appear when I compile main.lyx.

Problem with \includepdf (pdfpages)
In this post: http://www.nabble.com/problem-with-pdfpages-td15235086.html#a15236616 a problem with includepdf is posted. I currently have the same problem. If I change the current tmp dir in Tools->Preferences->Path to eg /home/user/tmp and place my pdf file in that dir I still get an error when I try to preview it from LyX. It seems that i will only work when i use the default dir /tmp. Is there some work around for this error or will this problem be fixed in a future release? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-%5Cincludepdf-%28pdfpages%29-tp15546917p15546917.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I use Kubuntu 7.10. I have changed the theme for all application run in root-mode (kdesu kcontrol -> colors). When I start LyX it uses the root theme I have defined, but I don't have to type any password.

If so, you can put the bibliography bit at the end of each file, and it will be generated with them when they're compiled. Ok so there is no way to keep the bibliography in a separate file and only include it in the master document? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Separate-bibliography-for-separate-lyx-files--tp15717106p15723144.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I have created a bio.bib file and inserted from the menu in LyX. The content of the .bib file is visible in all child files. But another thing.

Creating math defintions?
Are there some way in lyx to create math definitions like the third line
below:
1. This is a section
1.2 This is a subsection
Definition 9.1 if
In normal latex I added this to the preample:
\usepackage{amsthm}
\newtheorem{thm}{theorem}
\theoremstyle{definition}
\newtheorem{defn}[thm]{Definition}
and in my .tex fil I did:
\begin{defn} If \end{defn}
But is there a smarter way for this in LyX?

Automatic reload PDF?

Re: noindent for abstracts?
Use ERT (Insert-TeX code) \noindent before you type any sentence in a new paragraph. Is that what you want ??? Yes but I would like to avoid using ERT.
