Hi Ed,
One academic to another- I have a problem in that I can ( in Lyx
2.3.7) no longer browse for the graph in the dialog box when wanting to
insert graphics into a document- I am using Lyx 2.3.7 not 2.2.7. which
you are using. The assumption people have made is that it is a ventura
13.1 problem however if you can browse and insert graphics with the same
Ventura as myself but using Lyx 2.2.7 it must be a Lyx problem. It
would be really helpful to know where the problem lies if you could give
it a try please. I can work around this by copying and pasting the
location of the graphics file into the location box but I lost 2 days of
my life over the last few days trying to solve this!
Cheers,
Mark

Hi—
I am using Mac OS Ventura 13.1 and LyX version 2.2.7.
Many Mac users have reported problems with LyX when using Ventura. I
too have encountered difficulties, but fortunately I’ve been able to
find workarounds for all of them. However, behavior is erratic:
sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. I’ve had to resort to
trying different workaround strategies that seem to depend upon
exactly where my LyX related files are located.
You probably know this information from Apple, but I repeat it here
for completeness:
*Rosetta works automatically in the background whenever you use an app
that was built only for Mac computers with an Intel processor*. It
translates the app for use with Apple silicon. In most cases, you
won't notice any difference in the performance of an app that needs
Rosetta. May 17, 2022
In my opinion most and perhaps all of the problems LyX users have
encountered on a Mac can be traced back to Rosetta.
The ideal solution is to have an update to LyX that makes it a
so-called Universal application, i.e., one that works equally well on
both Intel and Apple silicon chips. [In any event, this solution
will be needed in the future because Apple is likely to stop its
support via Rosetta.]
Is such an update to LyX in the works?
If so, when might we expect to see it?
If not, why not?
Danke!
Ed
