Please can you help me?
I believe it (should be) at a deterministic time, not random.
And I don't think compilation is actually interrupted, it just feels
like it is. That is, during the dialog, I believe the code is still
running.
It is. Which is why, if you leave your computer, you can find this
dialog AND a completed compilation.
All that said, I personally would be in favor of removing the dialog,
now that the user can cancel the process at anytime on their own
(this didn't use to be possible). I think we had a discussion about
that but I forgot how others felt about it.
I think we decided it was worth having both, though I am not sure. The
manual cancellation thing doesn't always work. What might be nice
would be to make the timeout a preference, and then setting it at 0
would disable it. Obviously too late to do that for 2.4.0.
Actually, on closer inspection, it turns out we did disable this for 2.4.0:
int timeout_ms()
{
// Starting in 2.4.0, we allow the user to cancel the background
// process at any time with LFUN_EXPORT_CANCEL, so the timeout dialog
// is no longer useful.
// "-1" effectively disables the timeout (it is a special case in
// SystemcallPrivate::waitWhile()).
return -1;
}
Apparently, you did it, Scott!
For what it's worth, the previous timeout was 3 minutes. Note that this
is per-process, so running LaTeX multiple times could take more than 3
minutes, and it would not trigger this message.

Hi,
advanced find and replace can take a lot of time. How can I stop the
searching and exit?
I searched for

which I wanted to convert into
Ca^{2+} in (mathrm)
however, it was not found, although there are Ca^{2+} in (mathit)
Furthermore I got this
No information for converting fig format files to asciixfig.
Define a converter in the preferences.

Super cool cross-platform toolkit. Runs on several version of Unix, even in parallel, with multiple users logged in, on Fridays. Also available on Mac using darwin ports, and probably even on properly configured Windows machines (i.e. with X server running) Comes with a feature rich gui designer called 'fdesign' and incredible unicode support.

Re: how to stop annoying screen jumps?
I have noticed a similar problem when editing tables, specially tables that contain formulas. Whenever I have a table with many rows and math formulas inside, and only part of the table is visible in the writing area, if the cursor is outside the table, and I click inside a math formula, the focus changes, and LyX rearranges the view so that the row where I clicked goes to (near) the top of the writing area (sometimes to the bottom). Actually this happens also when I click in some cell without a math formula, but not always for some reason. I find this extremely annoying, as I have to do this sort of editing very often so I get the text bouncing around. So my questions are: 1) is this a bug, or by design? 2) if by design, what is the reason for this behaviour? 3) Is there anyway to make LyX stop doing this? (I'm using lyx 1.6.7 on Ubuntu 10.10) Thanks.

how to stop annoying screen jumps?
Hello: I use Lyx 1.6.5 and Ubuntu 10.04. Lyx works fine, but if I am editing, then click the pdf icon to view the pdf output, then click back on the Lyx text to make a change, all too often the screen wildly jumps to some other part of the document. For example, I might be editing the end of the document, and after returning to Lyx and clicking on a sentence the screen will jump to the first page, or somewhere else. It seems to happen about 25% of the time. Its very annoying, as I have to scroll around to re-find the sentence I want to edit. Sometimes the screen even jumps again when I try to put the cursor on my desired sentence. I don't know if it is related to having floating picture frames on some of my pages.

I remember the User Guide to use some invisible character inside LaTeX to
prevent this.
If it should apply to the whole document, you can als redefine
renewcommand{\LyX}{LyX}
renewcommand{\TeX}{TeX}
renewcommand{\LaTeX}{LaTeX}

When you properly set up the file hierarchy as I described, LyX does it for you. All you have to do is insert a picture and you'll notice that the path is relative. The problem is when you go outside of the hierarchy that contains your LyX file, then LyX puts in an absolute path for you because that's its only way to locate it. However, if you stay within the directory or below the directory of the LyX file then LyX puts in a relative path because it knows where the picture is "relative" to the lyx file. Hope that made sense. > I think that below you wrote in absolute. Right? No. That was just an example of how to set up the document paths (or hierarchy) on your hard drive.

This way LyX will use relative paths otherwise how do expect the program to follow your logic of where you are storing the files. Hence, LyX stores the absolute path. To clarify, here's an example Put your LyX files in: C:/PHD/Notes on Dynamic GE/Files/Notes v1.lyx Put your pictures in either: C:/PHD/Notes on Dynamic GE/Files/risk aversion.jpg C:/PHD/Notes on Dynamic GE/Files/Diagrams/risk aversion.jpg The point is the pictures need to be at the same level or below the LyX file for LyX to use a relative path.

Its a common problem. The common hack is to have an empty Standard paragraph
inbetween. As LyX will normally close it, you have to put something in that
translates to nothing in LaTeX, e.g.
* {} in ERT
* a notice
* % a comment in ERT
Or use the Comment style (M-a Shift-C with my bindings) and write something.
This is also in the user manual under Help - no need to go to the net.

Re: How to stop page numbering from auto reset?
Depending on the format required for your abstract, you could just use
Chapter*, or alternatively use something similar to:
\newenvironment{abstract}{%
\titlepage
\begin{center}%
\large
\bfseries \abstractname
\@endparpenalty\@M
\end{center}}%
in the preamble, and use the "book" (probably modified a bit) format.
You should only need to use two page number definitions, one for your
front matter, and one at the start of Chapter 1.
Hope this helps.

i suppose, that you have lyx version older than 1.1.6.
i can't see this behaviour in 1.1.6.

How do I stop table linebreaks introducing a \smallskip{} ?
Hi all
I am trying to generate a table using the linebreaks option. My problem
is that when lyx creates the \parbox it also adds a \smallskip{} at the
beginning and end of the paragraph. This places spaces at the top and
the bottom of the cell--a feature I don't want as none of the other
cells in the table have them.
If you coy the table from the users guide in the section describing the
linebreaks option and look at the top alignment of the cell, you will
see what I mean.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
TIA
Richard

this belongs to your latex-class. for article you can write it
behind author, too. but you're right, the best way is behind title.

You must put the line
\thispagestyle{empty}
right _after_ the document title (and possible after the author and other
similar lines--I didn't try this. In any case, it has to be in right
position in the title page).
IMO this should be added to the FAQ.

The simplest way to turn page numbers off from the whole document is is to simply set "Layout/Document/Document/Pagestyle" to "empty". If you want disable page numbers only from certain pages, see http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/#pagenumbers

I am using linux with lyx 1.1.5fix2. How do you turn off the page numbering? I need to do this for a conference. Thanks, Anna

That exxplains I it took so many time, in cua bind control+d is view dvi, and probably since it was generating new fonts... But this should only happen the first time.

Sorry, I don't know how to stop it, but I did find recently that I was doing lots of emacs-like keypresses in lyx which generally did not have the effect that I desired, e.g. ctrl-e to move to the end of the line, which 'emphasises' the text, and ctrl-x-s to save, which cuts and then saves!

Q: how can I stop lyx form compiling
Bonsoir, Suppose I type Ctrl-D, aiming to delete a character, just like in Xemacs. LyX then starts a sometimes quite long compiling process. Now, suppose I would like to stop it, instead of waiting for minutes. What should I do? Laurent

In TeX mode
\markboth{Title}{Title}
is a first workaround.
If you want Title in the toc, you will need also
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}#1}
If you need it often, a good way is to define a command in the preamble
\newcommand{\tocchap}[1]{\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}#1}%
\markboth{#1}{#1}}
so that
\tocchap{Title}
does the job.
You may have to modify the arguments to make these headings look like the
others headings, e.g. \uppercase{#1}
