Re: Follow a hyperlink from Lyx editor

[gordon_cooper]

A good reason for ditching the feature, I'll forget about it.

Gordon.

This feature has been actually already part of LyX and we ditched it
because of security concerns (i.e. injecting some malicious code
into url which would get executed when clicking on the url).
I have working patch, which I personally use, but you would need
to compile lyx on your own...

Have you tried introducing some deliberate

spellcheck behaves then?

Re: LyX freezes periodically

[gordon_cooper]

  The nearest thing I have had to your problem was the
computer running out of memory during calculations. It was
a software issue where the program was using blocks of
virtual memory on the hard drive, but forgetting to release
them.  It was not Lyx, but a Windows based CAD application.
Keystrokes were being accepted but did not appear  on
screen for  several seconds.

However with 16gb of ram available this should not happen to you.

Sorting in Lyx

[gordon_cooper]

  Does Lyx have the ability to sort strings? I am working with
some relatively large text files, over 200 lines in some cases.
I  have been working in Linux  which can do a line by line sort
but runs into problems when a string is longer than a single
line.

Thanks,
Gordon.

Canned Beamer

Has anybody used slide sequences produced with
Beamer in conjunction with a recorded audio track?

Gordon

Re: Canned Beamer

[gordon_cooper]

Thanks Liviu,
   Your reply confirms my thinking that Beamer
would need to be integrated into a recording system.

 I worked in this field years ago, when we made graphics by
pasting symbols on to a background, or drew them by hand.
Presentations were a sequence of 35mm slides, the sound
tape included an extra track with pulses to advance the
slides.  I have a piece of commercial software that does this
in video but it lacks the slide making abilities of Beamer.

More thinking, and some experimenting to do.

To Quit, or Not To Quit

[gordon_cooper]

(With an apology to Will Shakespeare.)

Proposed by  Alan, Seconded by Liviu, That I do not quit.

After a night's sleep and time to think, I accept Alan's proposal.
Thank you gentlemen.

I will stay, but for how long is probably out of my hands. I was
teaching digital and solid state basics in the early 1960's, so
that my time left on earth to work with Lyx, or anything else
for that matter, is definitely limited.

May I make two comments about this group.

1.  Alan said that this group is one of the friendliest around,
 I agree.  However, I think that any newcomer, joining in the
 middle of the recent acrimonious discussion,  might well be
 frightened away.

2.  There are far too many repeats. There is no need to regurgitate
 all of a previous post when replying. A few words or a couple of
 lines should be all that is necessary to define the subject under
 discussion. Too many people merely click on the Reply button,
 resulting in posts that are far too long.  Current computer based
 composition methods include easy editing. Why not use it?

I should make another comment. I 'own' a computer group -
most of them  'distaff ' members, who use a fairly specialised
CAD programme for design with fabrics and fibres. One of the
rules is No lengthy repetitions.  Offenders get a friendly
caution.  Persistent regurgitators are placed on moderation,
meaning that their posts have to be approved before reaching
the list.   This system works.

Remember that there are some parts of this planet where users
are still on dial-up. Repeats serve no purpose and cost them money.

Cheers,

Re: Problem with text being inserted randomly

[gordon_cooper]

   I have had this in a fairly small way in Lyx but also in
Libre Office.  Tracked it down to  the Clipboard History,
when I had been editing.  When scrolling through
 Mouse Scroll wheel was occasionally  pasting text
from the Clipboard.  Possibly me being too heavy on the
scroll?

  Maybe not your problem?
