Re: [announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.4

[H. Peter Gumm]

Hi Uwe,

a few days ago I installed LyX+MikTex under Windows 7 (Enterprise 
Edition) using your Altinstaller Complete (i.e. LyX 1.6.3 plus MikTex) 
and to my great delight


  * It was a breeze - everything went smoothly*

Just, towards the end, when LyX starts checking for installed packages 
- one ought to suggest to users to go out for dinner. When after the 
dessert Lyx is checking : dont panic.


Thanks for a  great  installer,

Greetings,
H.Peter

How to nest enumerate environments in Theorems

[H. Peter Gumm]

Hi LyXers,

sorry for a perhaps silly question, but I was unable to solve it with
the User Guide.
In AMS-style, I need to enumerate items inside Example, Theorem, or
Lemma environments

I want them to look roughly as follows:

Theorem  (i) blabla
(ii) blablu kjkjkjk
 oioioi oioio
(iii) blubla oipoipoi
  ipoipoipoipoipoi

The only way I was able to nest an enum environment inside a theorem is
by putting Ctrl-Space Enter in the Theorem then do an enum and
increase its depth. Unfortunately, this produces the layout

Theorem
   (i)   blabla
   (ii)  blablu
   (iii)  blubla

But I don't want
 - the empty line after Theorem
 - the exaggerated indentation

Wat is the trick, or where can I read how to do it ?

Thx,

H.Peter Gumm

Magnification of screen fonts in LyX 1.5.2

[gumm]

Hi,

can someone please help me setting larger screen fonts in LyX 1.5.2?

In previous versions I used

   Tools/Settings/Screen Fonts/Magnification % 180

but this seems not to work in LyX1.5.2 under Windows-Vista. All it does is
magnify the spacing between words and between lines. The font itself
remains as before.

Is there a quick workaround ?

How to crash LyX1.5.0beta2

[gumm]

Hi Lyxers,

due to some serious work i have to do with Lyx i need to stick with the 
generally very reliable 1.5.0beta2 for another next 2 weeks. Still, I 
observe a strange crash, so I suggest that someone makes sure that this 
crash has not been inherited by the current release candidate.


Essentially, the crash always happens with the WindowsXP-version when I 
navigate through a table using Shift-uparrow and Shift-rightarrow.


I attach a stripped down version of the file which consistently causes 
this crash. Below I also include a copy of the error message.

rightarrowtriangle from stmaryrd.sty causes LyX/LaTeX error in new release of ?NFSS ?!?

[gumm]

Hi,

I have always been using the style stmaryrd since I need 
the\rightarrowtriangle symbol.

Now, after updating LaTeX, my LyX  throws an error at me, saying:

  LaTeX Error: ***NFSS release 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] found
  I can't find file `,',

Then there is the following hint:

  The new release of NFSS doesn't support the [EMAIL PROTECTED] command
   any longer. Please upgrade your file to the syntax of NFSS release 2
  using the \DeclareSymbolFont command.

What does that mean in plain english ?  Who is NFSS ? Upgrade whom ? And 
how ? 
Perhaps there is a simple (legal with ?NFSS?)  way to obtain a 
rightarrowtriangle

without stmaryrd ?

Greetings

There were two problems:

Re: Export from LyX to HTML

[gumm]

Nick,

thanks a lot, your advice got it working.

I have not been able export from LyX to html. The error messages (see
below)
on the LyX-console seem to suggest that htlatex cannot deal with paths
containing
spaces.  Is this true, oand if so, there a way to circumvent this ?

 Before you do anything else, try this. Go Tools - Preferences -
 Converters, them click on 'LaTeX (plain) - HTML'. Then delete
 'originaldir,needaux' from the Extra Flag box. Then try View HTML or
 Export HTML.


I did get by though with only removing the originaldir-flag.
When I removed the needaux flag, my references were forgotten.

I can do what I want now, but there are still there are a few
quirks remaining, which might probably be easily corrected:

 - View HTML works, Export to HTML does not. Instead of the pngs
   it only shows the ALT-text
   Of course I can just view and save the content from firefox

 - pngs included in the original Lyx-files are not present

Greetings,
 H.Peter

Re: Update to: [announce] LyX150svn builds for Windows

[gumm]

Hi, LyXers

I fixed some bugs and changed a lot in the installer, here's the 
changelog:

https://developer.berlios.de/project/shownotes.php?release_id=11890

have other people been successful with this installer ?

I tried the previous version, and the current one. But
 - lyx.bat just opens a dos-box, immediately closes it again and dies.
 - lyx.exe returns the spartanic error message:
  This application has failed to start, because the applicatioon
   configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix 
this problem.


I reinstalled it, restarted the machine - to no avail.

Previous versions of LyX run ok on my machine
- 1.37 (very well)
- 1.43 (unsatisfactory regarding instant preview).

Re: Can LyX handle large files ?

[gumm]

A final word on the situation with LyX and large files:

I deinstalled LyX 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 and went back to LyX 1.3.7 and the
problems essentially disappeared. I conclude that several bugs must have
been introduced in going from 1.3 to 1.4

+ In 1.3.7 I can start editing immediately. After some time
  instant preview kicks in and I can happily continue editing
  and scrolling while seeing the nice snippets.

- In 1.4.3, shortly after loading the file, everything freezes
  (LyX not responding) for 3-4 minutes. Even after that waiting
  time, instant preview snippets are only shown for the current page.
  Scrolling is almost impossible, since it only works by half a page
  at a time, then waiting several seconds for the next snipets, then
  the next half page, etc.. Essentially impossible to move around.

A second bug that I had almost gotten used to in 1.4.x, but now I recall
that it had not been present in 1.3.x:

+ In 1.3.7, after changing some math, and after leaving the math
  environment, the snippet is correctly updated instantly.

- In 1.4.2 and in 1.4.3 it often happens that I edit some math,
  leave the environment and the old snippet is still shown. I must
  enter the math environment again, just move the cursor a bit and
  leave the environment again, before the snippet is correctly updated.
  I recall that another user has reported this in this list, too.

I admit that I have the usual amount of math in my paper, but I should not
need to apologize for that. I use xy-pic a lot to draw commutative
diagrams. My paper has some 65 pages by now and I to my amazement, I found
1590 (1-5-9-0) pngs in

Re: Can LyX handle large files ?

[gumm]

So to avoid the problems, turn off Instant preview.

Sorry to say, but the instant preview facility is the reason I came to LyX
and have been sticking with LyX happily since its been available for 
Windows..
I am quite fluent in LaTeX and without the possibility of instant 
previewing I

would have equally happily stayed with WinEdt.

The main reason for using instant preview is that I am using the xy-pic 
package.

I have written a manual of how to use it from within LyX , see
http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/%7Egumm/LyX/xypic/xypic.pdf
From the screenshots,  you can also see that the LyX Math editor alone 
is not

of much use when using xy-pic.

So any help is appreciated. But the advice to turn instant preview off is
equivalent to saying quit LyX.

Then you can try:
* Use an older version of LyX (1.3.7 ?)
* Split your document into several parts

hope any of this helps.

If you are interested in helping, you could however contact the 
developers' list and ask if there's any kind of debugging information you 
can give them.

lyx-devel AT lists.lyx.org
  


I would be happy to help  with finding the bug, thats why I send a copy 
of this to the  devel-list.


Splitting the document into parts would only be a crutch, since I often 
need to manage references

to earlier theorems, to equation numbers, etc..

I could imagine a feature like folding away a section, so the heading 
would be shown but the

section is only opened when you double-click on the section heading.

Another possibility, I could imagine, is making the generated pngs 
resident, so they need not be
generated again when I start lyx with the same document next time. One 
problem, however,  is
that I am working on the same document at work during the day, and at 
home in the evening.


(By the way, the reported behaviour is the same on both computers. It 
could not only be faulted
to csrssexe, since during the 3.5 min. of LyX not responding the 
process manager only credits

25% to csrss.exe and 75% to lyx.exe )

I am indeed considering reinstalling some old version of LyX, although 
this is like withdrawing my

chips from LyX ...

I could imagine a feature like folding away a section, so the heading 
would be shown but the

section is only opened when you double-click on the section heading.

Another possibility, I could imagine, is making the generated pngs 
resident, so they need not be
generated again when I start lyx with the same document next time. One 
problem, however,  is
that I am working on the same document at work during the day, and at 
home in the evening.


(By the way, the reported behaviour is the same on both computers. It 
could not only be faulted
to csrssexe, since during the 3.5 min. of LyX not responding the

25% to csrss.exe and 75% to lyx.exe )

I am indeed considering reinstalling some old version of LyX, although 
this is like withdrawing my

Re: Can LyX handle large files ?

[gumm]

So to avoid the problems, turn off Instant preview.

Sorry to say, but the instant preview facility is the reason I came to LyX
and have been sticking with LyX happily since its been available for 
Windows..
I am quite fluent in LaTeX and without the possibility of instant 
previewing I

would have equally happily stayed with WinEdt.

The main reason for using instant preview is that I am using the xy-pic 
package.

I have written a manual of how to use it from within LyX , see
http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/%7Egumm/LyX/xypic/xypic.pdf
From the screenshots,  you can also see that the LyX Math editor alone 
is not

of much use when using xy-pic.

So any help is appreciated. But the advice to turn instant preview off is
equivalent to saying "quit LyX".

Then you can try:
* Use an older version of LyX (1.3.7 ?)
* Split your document into several parts

hope any of this helps.
/Christian

PS. It'd be even better if you could help us discover *why* it's so slow 
so that it can be fixed, but unfortunately I don't have any ideas on this. 
If you are interested in helping, you could however contact the 
developers' list and ask if there's any kind of debugging information you 
can give them.

lyx-devel  lists.lyx.org
  


I would be happy to help  with finding the bug, thats why I send a copy 
of this to the  devel-list.

Can LyX handle large files ?

[gumm]

Hi,

i am writing a math document in LyX and as the document gets longer, it
takes lyx longer and longer to get started.

Today I measured the time - it takes 3 min and 35 seconds before Lyx
allows me to start the first editing steps. Until that essentially
everything freezes. The Task-manager shows that lyx.exe and csrss.exe are
taking up 99-100% of CPU-time. Lyx takes between 70 and 80% and csrss
takes the rest.
(I am running XP on a 2.4 GHz with 1024 MB)

I am using Lyx 1.4.3-4. and have instant preview activated. Even after
that long starting perid, I have to wait several seconds for each
screenfull that I am trying to scroll, apparently since instant preview is
always preparing the png-files. So I am asking myself - if after 3:35 min
these png-files have not been prepared, what has Lyx been doing all the
time ?

But my question is more serious than that - will Lyx be able to deal with
my document as it gets larger than the 63 pages of pdf that I have now. I
assume that I will run up to about 100 pages in the end. Will that turn
out to be too much for Lyx ?

Best regards,
  H.Peter Gumm

Instant-Preview not working - How to troublecheck

[gumm]

Hi fellow LyXers,

I am sure this must have been discussed here, but I could not
find it :-(

In my LyX 1.4.1 for Windows XP, instant preview stopped working.
I know it is installed, since I previously used it.
I depend on this feature since I use lots of diagrams (xypics etc).

In my LyX document, the Tools/Preferences/Graphis/Instant Preview
Chooser is set to On ... but nothing happens with my formulae.

pdf-generation works without problems, so it appears not to be
a LaTeX error. Besides, the old documents which used to look so
neat in LyX, are now - well just LaTeX commands - like in ultraedit.

I have known the problem Stacia and Paul are  reporting,

a couple seconds they all turned into the instant preview version).



Instant preview is doing running latex each time it updates, so if you 
have a lot of insets (and some of them require more than average 
processing by latex), it's not surprising that the initial conversions 
might take a while.  That said, I run into the same problem of insets

XY-Pic and LyX

[H. Peter Gumm]

Hi all,

rumors are that LyX 1.4 is not going to support XY-Pic
anymore. I cannot believe that the developers are serious
about this. If they were, the reasons for me to use LyX
would be gone. To name these reasons specifically, they
are:
  Instant-preview
  XY-Pic
and, last but not least Uwe's installer, which makes it
so easy to get LyX up and running under Windows.

Ironically, the two bugs that are reported in bugzilla
regarding XY-Pic can be circumvented. I have just found
two easy solutions and documented them in a new chapter
Hacks of my manual Using XY-Pic in LyX at
 http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~gumm/LyX/xypic/xypic.pdf

(The html-translation - supplied by Stephen Harris - has not
yet been updated.)

Let the developers know, that there is no demand for a
new version if is less than the existing one.

Re: lyxwin136-small-04 and instant preview

[H. Peter Gumm]

Uwe, thanks for correcting the instant-preview glitch in your installer.

In my eyes, the installer is a great step ahead to make LyX popular amongst
Windows-Users who are typically not willing to install all sorts of auxiliary
programs (MinGW,Imagemagick,  ...) before being able to try out a new unknown
application. Thanks for the great work!

I have the following suggestions for improvement, some may concern the
installer, some LyX itself:

- I am using LyX with slightly larger screen fonts than in the
  default configuration. (Getting old.) Unfortunately, the math
  formulas displayed by instant preview dont scale correspondingly,
  they remain in the small fonts.

- Generating pdf-files, one obtains rather ugly bit-mapped fonts, until
  one finds the trick (in the FAQs) of changing the fonts size to ae
  in Document-Layout. Why not making this the default from the beginning ?

- I typically start LyX by doubleclicking on a .lyx-file. This opens LyX with
  the file as expected. When the document is more or less in final form, I
  scrutinize the the dvi-file for error. Unfortunately:

  = each C-d starts a new instance of Yap. This means that each time I have to
adapt Yap again by enlarging fonts, etc.

  = Going back to LyX I sometimes do it by doubleclicking the .lyx-file again.
This opens a new LyX on the same file. At the end I discover that I have
several LyXes open on the same file. Oops!! Which one do I want to save now 
?

== How about an warning message when opening LyX on a file that is already
open in LyX. This behaviour is common in most editors.

Greetings,

Thanks for all the advices to my mail. Most of the problem
solutions I knew, my point was to suggest making the default
behaviour for the windows version of LyX reasonable without
the need to tweak the system and to scan the FAQs.

I need instant preview because I am using xypic extensively.
As my first LyX-project I wrote a manual on how to use xypic in LyX:
 http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~gumm/LyX/xypic/xypic.pdf
Without instant preview for xy-figures I would not see a compelling
reason for myself to use LyX. I guess I would have used AuCTeX,
TeXMacs or just stayed with WinEdt.

 The bitmapped fonts are ok - the problem is the broken acrobat
 reader so many uses.  Printing the pdf will actually be fine.  Many
 people don't make pdf's - they don't need a different default.

I threw away the new Acrobat Professional and reinstalled the older
one Acrobat 5.0. It is much faster, has everything I need and its
menu structure is better organized. I hear from many people who did
likewise.

 Use update dvi instead then.  It updated the file, and your dvi
 viewer will then reload the new file automatically.  (If it doesn't,
 then surely
 it has a button or menu for doing that.)

C-d is the default action from the View-menu. I just suggest that S-C-d would
be a better default

This opens a new LyX on the same file. At the end I discover that I have
several LyXes open on the same file. Oops!! Which one do I want to save 
 now ?

 Don't do that - it is an approach that doesn't work with lyx.  Switch
 to the running lyx instead - it isn't hard to do on windows.

Well, thanks for telling. However, this happens unintentionally. In the Windows
programs I am used to, this never causes a problem. Why should I have a problem
with LyX ?

 It is common in most editors _in windows_, which isn't the main
 platform for lyx.  Still, it can be done if you can interest a developer

Yes, if you want to make LyX popular under Windows, this should be adapted.
Also, it would be nice if C-v from the Windows Clipboard would work. It took
me a while to find the LyX-equivalent Edit- Paste external selection

That said, LyX is a great system and I'll keep advertising it.

Uwe, thanks for correcting the instant-preview glitch in your installer.

In my eyes, the installer is a great step ahead to make LyX popular amongst
Windows-Users who are typically not willing to install all sorts of auxiliary
programs (MinGW,Imagemagick,  ...) before being able to try out a new unknown
application. Thanks for the great work!

I have the following suggestions for improvement, some may concern the
installer, some LyX itself:

- I am using LyX with slightly larger screen fonts than in the
  default configuration. (Getting old.) Unfortunately, the math
  formulas displayed by instant preview dont scale correspondingly,
  they remain in the small fonts.

- Generating pdf-files, one obtains rather ugly bit-mapped fonts, until
  one finds the trick (in the FAQs) of changing the fonts size to ae
  in Document-Layout. Why not making this the default from the beginning ?

- I typically start LyX by doubleclicking on a .lyx-file. This opens LyX with
  the file as expected. When the document is more or less in final form, I
  scrutinize the the dvi-file for error. Unfortunately:

  = each C-d starts a new instance of Yap. This means that each time I have to
adapt Yap again by enlarging fonts, etc.

  = Going back to LyX I sometimes do it by doubleclicking the .lyx-file again.
This opens a new LyX on the same file. At the end I discover that I have
several LyXes open on the same file. Oops!! Which one do I want to save now 
?

== How about an warning message when opening LyX on a file that is already
open in LyX. This behaviour is common in most editors.

lyxwin136-small-04 and instant preview

[H. Peter Gumm]

Is the new installer meant to install everything
Lyx needs for instant preview to work ?

After

- installing the preview package in LaTeX,
- checking Edit-Preferences-Graphics-Instant Preview
- doing a Reconfigure
- restarting LyX

instant preview still does not work.
What is missing ?

itemize/enumerate in theorem environment possible in LyX ?

[H. Peter Gumm]

Hi,

I frequently want to use itemize and/or enumerate within a
theorem environment. I know how to do it with ERT, can I
do it solely with LyX, too ?

I am using the article(AMS) layout.

Unwanted new paragraph after change to embedded math

[gumm]

When I mark some text and change it into embedded math
(Insert-Math-Embedded Formula or  hitting C-m)
LyX starts a new paragraph right after that selection. Is this
a bug, or how can I stop LyX from doing that ?

With instant-preview activated, the new paragraph break also
shows up in the LyX window, otherwise only in the dvi-file.

I am running LyX 1.3.6-1 under Windows.

LyX and xypic

[H. Peter Gumm]

I am using xypic with LyX 1.3.6-1 for Windows.
Angus Leeming kindly showed me how to do this:

  Place usepackage{xy} into the preamble and enter the
  xycode, e.g.
  \xymatrix{A \ar[r] B}
  into the lyx editor, then mark it and hit C-S-m.

This works with most of what I need from xypic, but not with
arrows that are bent upwards or downwards, e.g. when I replace
\ar[r] with
\ar@/^/[r]
or
\ar@/_/[r]
or
\ar@/^1pc/[r]

Somehow, mathed does not interpret these key-sequence
correctly.

Any ideas, what to do ?

Hi,

is there anyone working with LyX and xypic.

Is there any support, or are there any workarounds
to see commutative diagrams in their full glory within LyX.

BTW: I need to work in the native Windows-version of LyX
