Re: Lyx 2.0 can\\\'t read Lyx 1.6.x documents

It's the Win32 version running on XP SP3. Is it somehow possible to see 
the contents of the PATH variable while LyX is running (e.g. by 
executing additional commands like 'echo $PATH') in the debug console?

I'm not sure how Windows works, but assuming a child process inherits
PATH, you could make a converter and put your echo command in there.
See Help  Customization  Converters.

I tested adding the LyX PATH extension to the PATH variable and LyX
works fine now.
Unfortunately this results in cygwins's python version being no longer
accessible as LyX's python is being used now.
It's a workaround but i'd really like to make LyX add it's PATH prefix
as intended.

I noticed that the PATH variable is actually called 'Path' instead of
'PATH' on my WinXP machine. Maybe this matters...


What version of LyX is this? Win32 or cygwin? LyX is supposed to set the 
path correctly when running.

Starting LyX from a terminal window didn't produce any output.

The View-Messages output is is also kind of boring:

My bad, didn't notice the option to enable verbose output. Seems like 
you are right and it's a python problem or more precise a problem with 
LyX calling Cygwin's Python (2.7.3) instead of LyX's own Python (2.7.5). 
When i run the command in a terminal window using c:\Programme\Lyx 
2.0\Python\python.exe instead of C:/cygwin/bin/python2.7.exe it succeeds.
Question remains how do i get LyX to use the right python.exe (the PATH 
prefix looks correct to me)?

Hello,

Thanks. It opens just fine here. I suppose lyx2lyx (the converter between
different LyX formats) does not work properly on your side. Maybe a Python
problem.

Can you open LyX from a terminal window (or check View > Messages) to see
whether there is an error message from lyx2lyx?

I ran into a similar problem in the past and cured it by editing the Windows

  This is because you are attempting to emulate shorthands using the

If editing gloss-german.ldf is not an option, the workaround is to export

\setdefaultlanguage[babelshorthands=true]{german}

\setdefaultlanguage{german}

Polyglossia's babel shorthands are an experimental feature. 
Does LyX use the babel shorthands anywhere? If not, please remove the
[babelshorthands=true] option from the LyX generated output. 

A power user that wants to use babel shorthands in ERT can easily add the 
line

\setdefaultlanguage[babelshorthands=true]{german}

in his/her LaTeX preamble.

Where would I find this gloss-german.ldf and what needs to be changed there?

Polyglossia's babel shorthands are an experimental feature. 
Does LyX use the babel shorthands anywhere? If not, please remove the
[babelshorthands=true] option from the LyX generated output. 

A power user that wants to use babel shorthands in ERT can easily add the 
line

\setdefaultlanguage[babelshorthands=true]{german}

Ok, I'm still new to Linux. I tried to export the file from LyX and removed

Where would I find this gloss-german.ldf and what needs to be changed there?

Or would an update of texlive to the latest version fix the problem?

Re: Lyx 2.0: can't open new files with Wordpad/Editor

[Guest_NP]

You mean filename.doc.lyx? It opens in the converter mode, but no 
encoding will fit (not even the Unicode ones).
However, Lyx 2.0 will open it without problems, so it means the 
encoding should be correct.


When I tell the program to export the file as Lyx 1.6.x, it will be as 
unreadable as the 2.0 file.

Shouldn't be: there were no obvious changes to the way LyX saves its

Hi guys,

Thank you Liviu, you were right I found out the MiKTeX that was 
installed had been corrupted. After reinstalling MiKTeX LyX works very 
well.


Thank you for all the support.

Do you have MiKTeX installed (or any other LaTeX distribution)? Have
you tried performing Tools>  Reconfigure in LyX?

 What should I do ?

I assume you're on Windows. If so, then File  Save as and then put it
in a folder that contains no spaces, such as C:\tmp. Then it might
work.

 Hi Liviu,

 I am running Lyx 2.0 on Windows. I did as you suggested, saving the file in
 C:\ Temp , when I try to view it in pdf, an error saying file doesnot exist
 comes out.
 I had print screen the error message for your kind attention.

The screenshot is not very informative. Could you do the following:
- File  New from template  letter.lyx (double check the spelling of 'letter')
- View (pdflatex)
- If it still gives errors, please post Document  LaTeX log.

Liviu


 When I was using Lyx1.6, I did not face this problem. My hard drive had
 crashed a few days back and I was only able to find Lyx 2.0 online.
 You help is very appreciated.

 Thank you
