A new really nasty problem appeared: LyX for Windows is after an update
of MiKTeX no longer able to produce DVI or Postscript output. The reason
is the clean_dvi.py script that invokes the programs dt2dv.exe and
dv2dt.exe. These two programs need "hypertex" as driver but MiKTeX
changed the driver to "hdvips" in the file "hyperref.cfg". I'm currently
discussing this with the MiKTeX developer if it is really needed. In the
meantime I'll install the hyperref.cfg as we need it, but this couldn't
solve the following dilemma:
Users who install LyX fresh together with MiKTeX and later update MiKTeX
won't be able to produce DVIs. They have to reinstall LyX or change the
.cfg file to fix this. A further update of MiKTeX won't override the
hyperref.cfg so they are then "save".
Uwe,
I just upgraded MiKTeX and then tried to generate DVI output for a
document containing three (black-and-white) PNG graphics. Both inside
and outside LyX, I got a DVI file, but all three graphics had red dotted
lines running above and below them. When I exported to LaTeX, LyX
(1.4.1) converted the images to EPS format. I looked in the EPS files,
and the red lines were not present there.
Is this a symptom of the hyperref.cfg change? If so, perhaps you could
post the LyX-compatible version of hyperref.cfg to the wiki? (I'm going
to try copying it from a system that I have not yet upgraded, but not
everyone has multiple installations.)
Thanks (and thanks for the warning!),
/Paul
