Cannot edit LaTeX child document in LyX 2.1

2014-08-20 Thread dapper dan 
Subject basically says it all: When I try to edit a LaTeX child document
 from within LyX 2.1.1 (by clicking 'edit' in the child document window)
 I get an error message 'LyX: Cannot edit file. Auto-edit file 
path-to-file failed.' 
It does work with LyX child documents and it also works with LyX 2.0.8.1, which 
is also installed on the same machine. 
It did not work with 2.1.0, either.
As
 far as I can see the paths/settings are the same in 2.1.1 and 2.0.8.1, 
but please let me know whether I should check something specific. 
I'm on Windows 7 btw.
Thanks!

El,

can't you use deadkeys in LyX on Mac? 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key#Dead_keys_on_various_keyboard_layouts

You might also want to try changing the keyboard layout to US International:

From 
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=Howtotypeletterswit20100304073426167:

If you use the US International - PC keyboard layout, you instantly get the 
fast way of entering the letters with diacritics!



Go to System Preferences » Language  Text » Input Sources. Check the US 
International - PC
 input method in the list of Input Methods. (If you also use other Input
 Methods, uncheck the others or select the US International - PC method 
as the current Input Method.)



Now you can use the fastest way of entering these characters.
For á, é, í, ó, ú: press ' and directly after that, the vowel.For à, è, ì, ò, 
ù: press ` and directly after that, the vowel. (Note
 that ` is slightly different slightly different from ' ... on my 
keyboard, it is located right of the left-side Shift key.)For ä, ë, ï, ö, ü: 
press  and directly after that, the vowel.For ã, ñ, õ: press ˜ and directly 
after that, the letter. 



NOTE: Setting your keyboard layout to US International - PC 
could change the location of some other  symbols if you ordered your Mac
 with an other-than-International keyboard. In my case, everything was 
still where it should be, but check this and experiment a little with it
 and find out what best suits your needs.

 I also write on and off German language texts, and though I have a
 German Mac keyboard as spare at home and will connect it if I write
 something long, I really would like to be able to easily/quickly
 type the German Umlaute in lower and Upper case on the standard (US)
 keybopard.
 
 Alt-s is helpful, but I can't find the others.
 
 ERT is not only Evil, it also takes 4-5 Keystrokes for the price of
 one :-)-O
 
 Any ideas, perhaps for assignments to key combinations?
 
 greetings, el

  And you don't have a keyboard with an ß ?
 
  In case you're using LyX you shouldn't have a problem to get it
  printed after you successfully typed it.  Ok, there are some
  problematic languages, but with german I don't know any.
  Try \ss, making it TeX mode, or what we call ERT.
