This refers to the phrase "LyX is not supported on Mac as I would like". And it's a matter of fact that it costs some time to answer a question. And it's no disaster to wait for an answer two days.

It isn't clear to me (a Mac OS X user) which Library/Application Support/ sub-directory the original poster refers to. There is the system-wide directory under /Library and the one under $HOME. Although I guess as there is no Lyx-2.0 folder in the system-wide /Library on my Mac where LyX is installed that the reference is to the $HOME location. The standard templates and layouts that LyX uses are stored in the application bundle for LyX rather than /Library, which I believe would be the more Mac natural location. Depending on where you are when you look for that content you may have to use an often overlooked key-modifier with your mouse click (so overlooked I can't recall what it is at this moment). There are regular posts here about the tutorial.lyx file being missing; it isn't it just hidden in the bundle and needs that arcane knowledge in order to be seen. The templates and layouts that LyX can use from $HOME/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0 are the user's own versions (whether modified from standard copies or self-developed). Immediately after installation the various sub-directories are empty because nothing personal has been added to them. As a workaround so you see something you can also follow this advice from Jens Nöckel in a post on Fri, May 13, 2011 at 1:52 AM in response to a similar question of mine. > Just go to Preferences > Paths and change the field for "Document templates" to /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/templates/ Regards, Trevor. <>< Re: deemed!

Thanks, Zan Hello Zan, the installation of LyX-2.0 uses another folder for the user settings and does not touch the 1.6 settings. Regarding the user configuration there are two possible scenarios: 1) you want to make a fresh 2.0 install That's what you did, effectively. 2) you want to continue with your 1.6 files Then you should copy and rename your folder Library/Application Support/Lyx-1.6 to Library/Application Support/Lyx-2.0. This is documented in the Documents folder of the LyX distribution media. If you've used LyX-2.0 already you have to remove or rename the existing Library/Application Support/Lyx-2.0 folder first. Stephan PS: There is a known problem with the availability of the system templates and examples. See http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.documentation/6887

Hmm... LyX is free after all. And the information is available on the net already.

Re: reinstall LyX 2.0.0 on OS X, templates, examples, layout, key-bind missing
Have you tried to a "Configure" after installation? I am just trying to invent a solution to a problem that I have not met myself (since all my setup from 1.6 has been migrated to 2 during installation). 2011/6/22 David Nuddleman > On Jun 20, 2011, at 5:06 PM, Zan wrote: > > Hello All, >> >> OS X 10.5.8, Fresh MacTex 2010 >> >> I've attempted to install 2.0 over 1.6 and now have only empty folders in >> the Library/Application Support/Lyx-2.0 for templates, examples, layout, >> bind.
