Re: Image Format Conversion on OS X with Transmute
Hi Jerry, I wasn't able to edit the LyX wiki - the Mac page is protected with a password other than LyX. To answer your question, the -n pageno selects the page from the source PDF such that it can be rendered to a target (probably not a PDF). In this way you can grab page 22 from your favorite PDF and create a PNG thumbnail of it. I just released 1.2 which adds support for PDF as a target. As a target it currently allows only one page. The target support is also nice for LyX because now I can add these preference lines, \converter ps png transmute -i $$i $$o \converter eps png transmute -i $$i $$o \converter pdf png transmute -i $$i $$o \converter eps pdf6 transmute -i $$i $$o and now it uses transmute for the eps to pdf conversion (for pdflatex, etc.) and not epstopdf which depends on ghostscript. This has only been tested on the book I'm working on so I would appreciate testing/feedback by any other Mac users interested in going ghostscript free. The LyX example is also provided in the transmute README, https://bitbucket.org/jdpalmer/transmute James On 2014-05-30 03:37:32 +, Jerry said: James, I haven't tried this but it looks awesomely awesome. Would you mind making a note on the LyX wiki about it? And maybe an indication, if not already present, how to install without brew, e.g., put in /some/path for those who don't know this. And maybe you can help my confusion. PDF is listed as source-file only but the note about -n pageno sort of indicates that pageno can be applied to rendered PDFs. I'm probably misreading something.

Table format conversion
Hello, I have noticed that tables in older Lyx-files (in my case lyxformat 215 created by KLyX) are not imported correctly into Lyx 1.3.1 I found that this is due to an additional blank after a \newline command within the tables. Executing sed s/newline $/newline/ myoldfile.lyx mymodfile.lyx repairs this and mymodfile.lyx is now converted correctly.

format conversion?
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there is some converter/conversion mode to upgrade LyX files from the 2.15 format from LyX 1.1.4 to version 2.16 used in LyX 1.1.5. Or is the conversion done automatically? It seems not to be the case, as I am getting error messages by opening old files... thanks for any hint! jb
