Re: 14.4 font

[markhsalmon]

Hi el
Thanks a lot for that but can you show me how the code allows transferring 
lists across page breaks? I can’t do this in Beamer slides for some reason - I 
did raise this about a year ago we it’s no resolution. But it clearly achieved 
here could you please show me how we can continue lust numbering over slide/ 
pages please!! It screws up my lecture notes continuously! 
Many thanks ,

Re: lyx 2.3.7 running on a Mac Ventura 13.6.1

[markhsalmon]

I came to the same conclusion but it does have features that make it easier to 
use. The university made its choice I suspect because of the way multiple 
authors can collaborate but its not the way I work… with coauthors. I think it 
is an easy entry into writing in Latex and there are some lessons there perhaps.
Anyway incredibly pleased all appears to be working well on Mac with latest OS  
and 2.4- thank you very much!

Re: Problems with LyX on Mac computers

[markhsalmon]

Hi Stephan
I hit another problem last night and gave up but will try and replicate it 
again in the next hour when back in my office. I could not copy and paste text 
from a pdf document into Lyx as was trivial before. I am the person who cannot 
insert graphics via the normal insert graphics route but can by inserting the 
graphics file location. Latest version of Lyx and Ventura 13.1. This new 
problem is similar in that I can still with my mouse select the text from the 
pdf document and place the cursor where I want it in the Lyx document but now 
have to click paste from the menu and it works. I have to double check this 
when I get back to my office. I saw somewhere on the web something I didn’t 
understand that I” imagemagick was missing
Thank you for your help but this is really serious as I am in the middle of 
teaching and trying to prepare lecture slides. 
Many thanks
Mark

Re: Ventura graphics Mac

[markhsalmon]

This works for me- I think - I have to physically put the file location  in the graphic insert box and not use browse and it gets the graphics file now. On screen looks fuzzy but formats perfectly in pdf. I upgraded to Ventura at the same time as upgrading to 2.3.7 which was dumb but this looks more like a file location recognition issue now to me. Thanks so much for your help - it’s not solved but a work around exists which is an enormous relief- Thanks! This surely must be a Lyx issue … with Ventura. I had to upgrade to Ventura for other reasons related to Dropbox. Thanks again Mark The more you know, the more you realise how little you knowOn 21 Jan 2023, at 21:02, Christopher Menzel  wrote:Udi wrote:I think this bug is already reported here, it seems that you can

I can’t insert graphics on my 2021 MacBook Pro using either 2.3.6.2 or 2.3.7 but both versions work just fine on my old iMac under Big Sur. You can mitigate the pain of the kludgy workaround a little bit by locating your desired graphic in the Finder, right clicking and selecting “Get Info”. This will bring up an info window that contains the full Unix path to the containing directory that you can copy and paste into the “file:” field in the LyX pop-up for inserting graphics. You’ll still have to type in the file name, but the process is still easier than typing in the whole path, especially if you use cloud storage, which buries your files pretty deeply under your home directory.Alternatively, run LyX under Linux in a Parallels VM — it’s quite a bit faster than the MacOS universal binary and doesn’t suffer from this bug.-chris-- lyx-users mailing listlyx-users@lists.lyx.orghttp://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users--

Re: Continuation of lists across beamer frames

[markhsalmon via lyx-users]

Thank you Paul, I really appreciate your response but this is such a common issue - at least for me- every lecture pack I produce has this problem perhaps every 5 slides so its really driving me round the bend. I just leave the environment behind by default and manually add the next number  but it looks cheap and nasty. Why can’t there be an option to restart previous numbering? I seem to remember that option exists in scientific word so it must be possible to implement this as a very simple click choice? I have been pointed to the ERT route before but this is really a cry to the developers of Lyx.

  Decision making is about predicting
counterfactuals

  
  
  

There may be a more elegant way, but the attached MWE shows a clunky
way to continue a numbered list across a frame boundary. It requires
creating a new counter (in the document preamble) and using ERT to
(a) copy the last item count from the first slide into the new
counter, (b) copy it back into the item counter after the first item
of the second slide and (c) increment it to account for the first
item of the second slide. It also requires that you set the item
number for the first item of the second slide manually. So, as I
said, it is clunky.

 Stephan, 
 When you make the 2.0.5.1 release could you PLEASE PLEASE ensure that the
 mac installation problem is resolved- i.e.. We also need to have access to
 templates style files etc.
 As a very busy academic I love Lyx but I urgently need the ability to
 smoothly move between  beamer style files to get lecture slides ready.
 Many thanks
 
 Hi Mark,
 
 the problem with the template directory access is the dynamic nature of the 
 location.
 The system templates are located inside the application bundle and one may 
 have more then one bundle on a computer.
 So it would be correct to have a button in the Open from template dialog to 
 navigate to the location inside the bundle.
 
 The workaround is as follows:
 1. Use the Finder to go to Applications
 2. Locate the LyX program bundle (LyX.app)
 3. Click on it with right mouse button (Open the package content)
 4. Navigate into Contents and then into Resources
 5. Drag the templates folder to the left sidebar between two items of your 
 choice
 
 Now you have an item named templates there. This item is also a member of the 
 Open from template dialog.
 Unfortunately I couldn't find any application program interface to make that 
 link automatically from the LyX application.
 
 I hope this helps.
 
 Best regards,
 Stephan

 Hi Uwe,
 
 I work with Lyx 2.05 and focussed the lyx window.
 
 In November I worked with 2.03 and another Mac Feature was lost after
 the update:
 When you klick on Help in the menu bar (or press Cmd-Shift-7) there
 was a text field before.
 I used it to navigate by keybord.
 Now it is gone and I miss it very much.
 
 I downgraded to 2.04:
 - Help text box is there again
 - Dictation works
 Luckily my thesis works with 2.04 too.
 
 In the changelogs I found nothing concerning these features.
 Are the two things (failed dictation and missing help textfield) bugs?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Anna
 
 Hi Anna,
 
 I'll have a look when making the 2.0.5.1 release and try to find a
 solution for it.

 Hey Anna
 
 I sometimes use Mac Lion Dictate with Lyx and it works direkt out of
 the box. I work with Lyx 2.04. Its nessecary that the focus is on lyx,
 that mean, the Cursor has to be in the Document in witch you want
 dictate.

 Hallo,
 
 I use Lyx for years with Mac for my study.
 
 Is it planned to support Mac OS Lion build-in dictation?
 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5449
 
 Or is it a bug, that it does not work?
 
 I can start dictation by pressing Fn twice, but after speaking no
 text is inserted.
 Other writing applications work well, but I want to use only Lyx.

 Stephan, 
 When you make the 2.0.5.1 release could you PLEASE PLEASE ensure that the
 mac installation problem is resolved- i.e.. We also need to have access to
 templates style files etc.
 As a very busy academic I love Lyx but I urgently need the ability to
 smoothly move between  beamer style files to get lecture slides ready.
 Many thanks
 
 Hi Mark,
 
 the problem with the template directory access is the dynamic nature of the 
 location.
 The system templates are located inside the application bundle and one may 
 have more then one bundle on a computer.
 So it would be correct to have a button in the Open from template dialog to 
 navigate to the location inside the bundle.
 
 The workaround is as follows:
 1. Use the Finder to go to Applications
 2. Locate the LyX program bundle (LyX.app)
 3. Click on it with right mouse button (Open the package content)
 4. Navigate into Contents and then into Resources
 5. Drag the templates folder to the left sidebar between two items of your 
 choice
 
 Now you have an item named templates there. This item is also a member of the 
 Open from template dialog.
 Unfortunately I couldn't find any application program interface to make that 
 link automatically from the LyX application.
 
 I hope this helps.
 
 Best regards,
 Stephan
