Hi,
I'm actually working on a document which consists nearly exclusively
(some section or subsection headers) of pictures (jpg's from my canon
powershot A620, reduced to 25% using convert).
First of all, LyX is VERY slow.
I remember some discussion several weeks ago, but don't remember what
the solution was.
Are you sure that it is LyX that is slow, as opposed to the graphics
conversions?
A little strange effect (bug?):
1.) Include a picture using the graphics inset dialog
2.) set scale factors for LyX as last activity
3.) reopen the dialog using the right mouse click
4.) Dialog opens showing the LaTeX and LyX Params
The value of the scale factor is marked blue
the cursor bar is blinking
BUT key strokes are not recognized
Which version of LyX (I suspect 1.6 from the last comment below), and
what operating system? Does this happen when there is just a single
image in the document? I tried this with both LyX 1.5.6 and 1.6.0rc2
and failed to reproduce it (on Win XP).
Question:
Since I use a variable horizontal space quite frequently in this
context, I would like to define a shortcut (to avoid 6 mouse clicks or
an even greater number of key strokes).
I looked at the cua.bind and menu.bind files but could not see what the
lfun call should look like to insert a horizontal space.
I'm not sure what you mean by "variable horizontal space", but I suspect
it's one of hfill, hfill*, hspace or hspace*? In LyX 1.6, the LFUN is
space-insert hfill;
(or whatever fill/space command you had in mind). The same LFUN exists
in LyX 1.5.6 but appears to recognize only certain space names (e.g.,
qquad). I could get 'space-insert qquad' to work, but 'space-insert
hfill' or 'space-insert hspace' did not do anything (although the status
line echoed the command correctly, and I did not get any sort of
disabled or unrecognized message). The best I can come up with in 1.5.6
is to bind a key to
command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \hfill;
(again changing hspace to your preferred space type). That does not
produce the same effect in the GUI as inserting an hfill via the menu,
and you need to put a space after the ERT box, but I think it gets the
job done.
Thanks for all the new features, especially the image grouping.
