Re: What happened to the tool bar buttons: view dvi/pdf and refresh dvi?
To regain the old toolbar features, you need to edit stdtoolbars.ui and install associated icons. If you have an old 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 installation, you can find the old toolbars in LYXDIR/Resources/ui, and the icons in LYXDIR/Resources/images as .xpm files. The toolbar feature I wanted back was the Export PDF, which is in stdtoolbars.ui as this line: Item Export PDF (pdflatex) buffer-export pdf2 The corresponding icon is called buffer-export_pdf2.xpm. The 1.4.3 installer caused a problem for me, because it does not include the old windefault.ui and wintoolbars.ui. But my old installation did use those .ui files, and Lyx would quit, complaining that windefault.ui does not exist. It would be better if that error still allowed the program to run, defaulting to default.ui. Instead, I had to dig up the old windefault.ui (luckily I still had my 1.4.2 directory) and copy it to 1.4.3, then start up Lyx, then change the ui to default.ui, then delete the no-longer-needed windefault.ui. Kind of a pain. Plus the PDF button was handy.

What happened to the tool bar buttons: view dvi/pdf and refresh dvi?
Hi, I have previously used Lyx 1.4.1 and 1.4.2. on Win XP. After installing 1.4.3 I deinstalled 1.4.2. Under my previous installation the default toolbar had 3 buttons to produce a dvi preview, refresh the dvi and preview a pdf file. These have now disappeared and as I used them quite a bit, I would like to know how to get them back. Can anybody help me on this one. I have looked at the ui files, but it didn't help much, except to confirm that these buttons no longer seem to exist. Thanks Graeme Handisides

Use a text editor to add the following lines to the copy: Separator Item View DVI buffer-view dvi Item Update DVI buffer-update dvi Item View PDF buffer-view pdf2 The last line is set to use pdflatex to generate the PDF views, because that's what I always use. If you want to use a different compilation method, change 'pdf2' to 'pdf', 'pdf3' or whatever the file type is (in the File formats dialog under Preferences) for you preferred route. You can put them at the end of the standard toolbar (just after Item insert table ...) or the extra toolbar (just after Item Thesaurus ...), whichever you prefer. 3. Start LyX and see if you like what you get. I didn't find an icon for viewing PDF files, so apparently you get a generic gear icon. /Paul
