Re: Opening a file in a running Lyx ?

Gimp-remote, which does the same for gimp, is the model I'm > thinking of. Use the LyxServer-pipe: 1) in the menu-entry "Bearbeiten-Einstellungen-Eingabe-Pfade-LyXServer pipe"(I use the german translation) put something like "/home-xx/.lyx/lypipe" (replace /home-xx with your $HOME -path). 2) write a litte script like: - #!/bin/sh if [ -e ~/.lyx/.lyxpipe.in ] then echo "LYXCMD:test:file-open:$1" >~/.lyx/.lyxpipe.in read a <~/.lyx/.lyxpipe.out echo $a else lyx -geometry 690x715+0+0 $1 fi - 3) name the script as you like (perhaps lyxremote) and put it in a path where it will be found (like /usr/local/bin). Now you can load every lyx-file in an existing running LyX. If it's not started, the script will start a new one. Of course you have to call your *.lyx- files with lyxremote file.lyx 4) a little problem occurs, when lyx crashes: the files $HOME/.lyx/lyxpipe.* will not be deleted so that "lyxremote" thinks there exists a running lyx -- you will have to delete $HOME/.lyx/lyxpipe.* by yourself. This procedure works for me (lyx1.2.1): there is also help about the lyx Server-pipe in the helpfiles included with the lyx-package. hope it helps Peter

in praeambel put: \usepackage{float}
in menu put "H" as option; this
should put all floats directly where they are mentioned.
Hope it helps

put \usepackage{multicols} in your praeambel; with \begin{multicols}{2}
in ERT you can switch to the two column-layout.
At the end of your document put an \end{multicols}.

put \thispagestyle{empty} in RET on the first page (with the TOC). With
\setcounter{page}{0} in RET you can reset the pagenumber to zero.
Have a look to the short lyx-example-file. There a the commands above a
little bit enhanced with the possibility to change the
columnseparator-width.
I hope this helps

Insert some lines with in the title paragraph, type in your
text, perhaps format the lines with a smaller font.

type at the position where the TOC should appear:
\tableofcontents \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
in RET.

Change the document-class to report(koma-script) -- then you will get it.
Hope it helps,

Hallo,
der Versuch eine serifenlose Schrift wie helvetica als Standardschrift in LyX
einzusetzen über Document-> Fonts funktioniert bei mir nicht; diese Einstellung
wirkt sich nur auf die Darstellung der Überschriften aus, jedoch nicht auf den
gesamten "Standard-Text"; obwohl helvetica aus Auswahlmöglichkeit angegeben
wird, werden nur section, chapter etc. geändert.
Fügt man jedoch im Latex-Vorspann
\AtBeginDocument{
fontfamily{cmbr}\selectfont
}
ein, dann klappt es.
Vielleicht kann mir jemand einen Tipp geben, wie man das auch über die Menüs
erreichen kann (LyX 1.1.6fix1)
Peter
