The easiest is to completeley uninstall TeX and then LyX (on the Mac you can just Trash it) and then first to install TeX (MacTex in whatever guise or form) and then LyX, which in the first run will do a Tools -> Reconfigure which you can do manually any time. You should be able to run /

Yes, it is very worrisome not to be able to open older files. Usually, I don’t want to edit them, I just want to copy and paste things from the files, so I just need LyX to be able to open them. I think it must have something to do with LyX installation on Monterey. On Oct 20, 2022, 12:39 AM -10

I appreciate the feedback I have received, but I’m still left with a somewhat non-functioning LyX installation. To repeat 1. I cannot open older LyX formats. 2. Instant preview does not work. This happened recently. Can anyone suggest how I can get LyX to work again? -- lyx-users mailing list l

That can be a Python issue. But it's nice to see it works. What I have done in the past is to convert all LyX files I have below my work area with something similar to find ~/medicine/cpd/ -name '*.lyx' -type f -exec open {} ';' and then having to save all the files manually. Which of

Thanks for the instructions. I ran lyx2lyx from the command line, and it successfully converted the old file, and Lyx can open the converted file. But if I try to open the old file from inside LyX I still get: “...is from an older version of LyX and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it.” So,

On the Mac (deduced from the icloud address) find /Applications/LyX.app/ -name lyx2lyx -type f tells us /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx Try the complete path/file name on the old file and see what that says. Looks a little like a TeX installation issue

Thanks, you mean running lyx2lyx from the terminal? Then I get “command not found" When I run reconfigure, I get the message: The system reconfiguration has failed. Default textclass is used but LyX may not be able to work properly. Please reconfigure again if needed. Perhaps I totally need to

Have you tried running lyx2lyx on them and see what that says? perhaps with the --noisy option? LyX will display, but can't convert. So you need to look what image you are trying to display and whether there is a converter for that. Sometimes just a Tools --> Reconfigure will do the trick el

Thanks, I checked. Yes, it’s on. One further issue: LyX doesn’t display graphics: “error converting to loadable format." But I just mention these issues as symptoms. My main issue is that I cannot open older LyX files, which is a serious headache. (Sorry, I’m not sure about the right way to re
