RE: Change tracking + fancy headers + changed section = error
Scott, looks like one more reason to pull up to RHEL 7 as soon as possible, epel 7 has lyx 2.1.3, and RHEL 7 includes texlive-2012. Thanks again for the feedback.

Change tracking + fancy headers + changed section = error
It appears that if you are generating PDFs with fancy headers on, and change tracking, that changing the last section of a page (the one that ends up in the fancy header) is not allowed. See attached minimal example file, poking the 'View PDF (pdflatex)' button should generate the error. The error is "Package xcolor Error: Undefined color 'LYXADDED'." 1. Can someone verify that this is still a problem in the newest version of LyX? (my distro is still using lyx 1.6.10 & texlive-2007-60) 1a. if it seems to be working, please state lyx and *tex version, so I know when I should see relief from this error. [I have worked around it by just 'accepting' the changed section, but it is always confusing when I hit it.] 2. If it is still an existing problem, could someone with a www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome login please enter an appropriate ticket? Thanks.

I went to the LyX bug trac and found I would need to create yet another tracker login to enter the ticket.

command line text export different than GUI?
I am wondering why a get a different result from the GUI than from the command line when attempting to export to a text file. I am also wondering what incantation I would need to use to get results as I get from the GUI by going to latex and then to text+++. test process: Open testexport.lyx File->Export->Plain text #back on command line mv testexport.txt testexportGUI.txt lyx --export text testexport.lyx diff -u testexportGUI.txt testexport.txt And in case it is not apparent, I do prefer the GUI's version of the export. BTW Pavel's patch in this post needs updated, at least in 1.6.10** and probably later versions http://lyx.475766.n2.nabble.com/Command-line-export-tp482733p482740.html from "Tools->Preferences->File formats->Format" to "Tools->Preferences->File Handling->File formats->Format" and perhaps a further note that it is the "Short Name" which should be used on the command line. ** I know 1.6 will not get an update, but as it is the one I run, that points out how early there was already a disconnect. +++ exporting to latex and running `latex -output-format=text testexport.tex` several times, and THEN opening the file in xdvi to save as text is less than satisfying. And `lyx --export text3 testexport.lyx` is NOT pretty. Even when this disclaimer is not here: I am not a contracting officer.

I would suggest augmenting Steve's test with running `top` (updating every second or two, because the issues last less than 3-5 seconds) in a terminal next to your LyX instance during all the tests. This way you might notice some external program being fired up and using a lot of cpu/memory or see the cpu(s) going into IO wait, during the pauses. If you have not used top before, you might want to run and watch top for a few minutes with nothing else going, so you can get used to the rhythm and values of your computer's operation when quiet and thus have a better feel for what is not being quiet when you have issues.

lyx Mailing list (ezmlm) digest question
In digests up through 'lyx-users Digest 6 Dec 2013 21:43:47 - Issue 984' the mime information in the email had outlook rendering the attachment names as subjects of the respective emails, which I very much liked, digests since and including 'lyx-users Digest 8 Dec 2013 21:55:39 - Issue 985' have the attachment names as 'lyx-users_#.ezm'. I have not changed any of my user settings in ezmlm (for a very long time). Has something changed in the overall lyx-users mailing list program config, or was It more likely some admin in my mail system chain messed with mime attachments? Thanks for the feedback.

RE: RCS user name
Sam, For your situation I would have two suggestions: 1) look into using CVS || SVN, which are network aware (i.e. multi user) Version Control Systems, but one of your machines has to act as the 'server' (Note: CVS's :local: mode does not require much network tweaking, and could work on a removable [USB?] drive carried between machines). With CVS you can (after un-locking the RCS files) copy the RCS files into the directory structure and have all your current history easy. From a LyX UI perspective CVS works the same as RCS without the locking behavior, and I think SVN is the same. Also note that if you use any RCS keywords, for example '$Revision:$', in your files, CVS will handle them the same as RCS. 2) To continue using RCS in the manner you are, which is not advisable, BUT: before switching computers each time, check the file in, but do not check back out a LOCKED copy of the file, and then you should be able to checkout a LOCKED copy on the other computer. Version Control is GOOD :) Even when this disclaimer is not here: I am not a contracting officer.
