LyX/KLyX Assistance
I have run into a problem that I am not certain where to turn for help to... Although so far, I can say that I have not been able to find the information that I need to solve the problem. Being only recently acquainted with LyX/KLyX. The problems appear to be multi-fold: - In KLyX the Preview / Print and Fax items on the File menu cannot be selected. - In KLyX if I try to export a file as DVI, I recieve a message about there not being a log file. - However, I can export to a LaTeX file, then create a DVI from a shell prompt. - Separate (but semi-related issue) once I have created a DVI, I can view it with XDVI, but cannot view it with KDVI. It seems kind of obvious here that something isn't set up properly in KLyX, but I am not certain what it is. I do know that KLyX is installed in the /opt/kde/bin directory, and teTeX is installed in /op/teTex. Can someone tell me what I might be missing here? (I have the feeling that it should be something extremely simple.) If not, could someone possibly direct me to someplace that I could get detailed information on how to go about tracking down the problem, and what to do to resolve it. (I looked at the KLyX Configuration documentation, but was confused by it at best...again, I guess I am just a little too knew with this...) Thanks in advance for any assistance

Just go to the empty cont-lines and > delete them with the normal delete-row in the table-layout! Uhm... It works ! I didn't try it, because when I see "delete-row" in my mind there is the logical concept of row (the row of the final table, in oposition with columns), not the "rows" of one cell displayed in Lyx :-) __o _ \<_ (_)/(_) --- TOUR DE FRANCE --- ABRAHAM OLANO ..

Unfortunately, no solution exist now for this problem. The experimental 1.1 series has some support for scrollbar in equations, but this is certianly not usable yet. JMarc
long line lyx equations
Hi, Apologies if the answer is obvious but I haven't found it yet. I have a few lines in equations that do fit onto a single line in the dvi output, but not in the lyx screen. This is because, for example, they contain expressions such as \varepsilon where the word is written on lyx but obviously the symbol is output. When the equations overrun on lyx they are neither wrapped nor is a scrollbar applied, so they are not easily edited. I've seen an archived thread on a closely related problem for tables - I think the work-around was to insert the Ctrl-Ret ( \\ ) linebreak and rely on the table not reacting to it in the output : in equations though this leads to unwanted multiline equations. Does anyone know a solution (I'm not interested in resizing my windows, fonts, or editing the text of the lyx file!!!)(and temporarily linebreaking then later deleting the break doesn't make things any easier)?

Insertions
Suggestions: 1. Bind url-insert to "M-i u" by default (this shortcut is currently unused). 2. Most insert dialogues, e.g. insert URL and insert file, leave an empty insertion if you cancel them. Others, e.g. insert reference, leave nothing. The latter behaviour seems more sensible, and it'd be nice if all dialogues (e.g. insert URL) had a cancel button.

That's the joy of debugging...

The appended patch should fix the problem (it does for me, and does
not seem to create other problems). Basically, it fixes the
IsFileReadable() function to check that what we are looking at is
actually a file.
Benjamin> anyways... hope this helps...
Sure. I would never have thought of that, and it affects all the
places in LyX where we search for files %-|
Many thanks for finding this one.
