I'm happy to hear you've solved your problem.
The rule is very silly, indeed!
The LoF is useful when you have a lot of figures, not on the contrary!
Have a good day!

We still ask to provide a minimal example. It is far more easy for you
than for anyone else (downloading and experimenting with uncommon stuff)
and has to be done anyway to get to the core of the problem.

Sorry, I did "reply" instead of "reply to all":

--
The culprits are these commented lines in your uuthesis.cls:

%\newif\iflistoffigures
...
%\listoffigurestrue

%
%\def\listoffigures{
%  \iflistoffigures
%\newpage
%\thispagestyle{empty}
%\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{LIST OF FIGURES}

%\ifnoisy \typeout{List of Figures.} \fi
%\@starttoc{lof}
%  \else
%\ifnoisy \typeout{No list of figures.} \fi
%  \fi
%}

If you leave out all the "%", you'll get your LoF.

However, I think you have to ask who provided you the uuthesis.cls, maybe
they have commented those lines because they don't want LoFs in that kind
of thesis.

Good luck for your graduation!

Thank you all that did it.

Funny thing is once I started uncommenting things I realized that I was the
one who commented it out several years ago when I was doing my master's
thesis. The rule is if you have more than 25 figures then there is no list
of figures which I find silly. I have more than 25 for my dissertation but
for my own personal copy I want the list. I swore I had removed the
functionality but thought I made changes in the preamble. After being
unable to fix it I figured it must be something else and emailed out. So
thanks again, it feels great to be finished!

I wish it had been that simple. I thought I had seen that package so was
excited. I was trying to avoid the minimal example since I have to use a
dropbox link because of all of the custom class and layout files. Here is a
dropbox link though with a zip file containing all the necessary stuff. You
can comment out "\listoffigures" in the ERT at the beginning of the
document and it compiles just fine but when uncommented it breaks.

Look at this answer on TeX.SE: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/201505/101651.

If it doesn't solve your problem, I think we need more info (that is, could

Hi Aline,
Try \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{listoftables}\markboth{}{}
i.e. remove the backslash preceding listoftables.
It works here.

This is pretty obscure black magic but it works. Put this in your preamble

\renewcommand*{\numberline}[1]{\hb@xt@2em{#1\hfil}}

and adjust the length (2em) as necessary.

 Hi,
 I use the University of new south wales layout for my document

 I tried to use
 \usepackage{tocloft}
 \setlength{\cftfignumwidth}{3em}
 with tocloft.sty installed but when I insert it in the preamble of the

 is there any way to solve this problem?

Can you please post a short example file? You may also need to include

Re: list of figures

[katbeasty]

I found the solution, in case anyone else needs it:

Add the following to the LaTex Preamble:

\usepackage{tocloft}

## adds the word Figure
\renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{Figure }

## adds white space
\renewcommand{\cftfignumwidth}{5em}


##same for tables
\renewcommand{\cfttabpresnum}{Table }

You just need to put '\numberwithin{figure}{subsection}' in your

I guess you used floatsfigure and added the legend there after 
Figure#: blabla
Go with your cursor to Figure#:here blabla
and select shorttitle in the same dropdown column where you selected floats

a red framed field marked OPT opens, where you can insert your short title

I guess you used floatsfigure and added the legend there after 
Figure#: blabla
Go with your cursor to Figure#:here blabla
and select shorttitle in the same dropdown column where you selected floats

a red framed field marked OPT opens, where you can insert your short title 
(easiest: cut and paste your legend and shorten it afterward)

Re: List of Figures without bibliography

[Vaclav Smidl]

Hi,
I would use short-titles for this. Though the name suggest its use for titles 
it also works for the captions.

At the beginning of each caption do:InsertShort Title
It gives you an [opt] inset. Write the caption without references there and it 
will be used in the List of Figures instead of the full caption that follows.
