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,

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.

Sorting in Lyx

2013-11-16 Thread 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.

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
