Still having troubles with my bibliography
I am moving forward, but I am still a long way from making this work.
I have attached sample files with the hope that someone will take a look
at them.
I have attached a lyx file, 2 different bib files and a bst file. The bst
I created using makebst.tex.
I have created one citation reference in the lyx file. What I get when I
run the DVI preview is [?] and no list of references.
I want my references to look like this (Howard 1960). Or possibly, blah,
blah, yakety yak by Howard. (1960).
With the Bibliography to follow this format.
Howard, R.A. 1960. Dynamic programming and Markov processes. M.I.T.
Press. Cambridge, MA.
So, possibly I have been asking the wrong question. Does anyone know of a
bst that will do the job for me, or is rolling my own the solution?
Thanks
Kent Kostuk

No, only method 2 & 3 works. However, if you are using bibtex (if you aren't then you should!) there is a better way: just insert the bibtex inset in chap1.lyx, but put it in a comment environment so it will ignored by latex.

Octave support -- a wish
Hi, I have registered for a class of the Math for Economists and I am for the first time discovering a real beauty of LyX when his dealing with math. And I have to confess, a beauty there is! However, when working on my assignements, I usually had in other gnome-terminal window started octave for calculating determinants etc. While working on these assignements, I begun to dream about an improvement of LyX which would allow me to work with Octave exactly in LyX (something what could be done with much more primitive GNU Calc in Emacs). For example, let's have following in MathEd: [ 1 2 3 ] A = | 2 3 1 | [ 3 1 2 ] |A| = Now when pressing some hotkey, I would love that LyX would insert -18 (determinant of the matrix A). I believe that such functionality would be something further moving LyX from "just better editor" to real killer-application. OK, I am sure, that it is so complicated, that a huge rewrite of Mathed would be required. Therefore, let's keep it as a dream for some future situation, when LyX will be so polished, that no programmer would anything to do :-). And of course, that I see some pitfalls (I do not want octave being started just for a name of variable being inserted -- e.g., when just inline equation - Ctrl-M - is edited). However, I would have some much less complicated proposal. Would it be possible to persuade Mathed, that it would insert in Clipboard (Ctrl-C) matrix, equation, formula, etc. so that it may be easily inserted into octave? I mean, that for above shown matrix, a content of clipboard (when whole first line is selected) would be a=[1,2,3;2,3,1;3,1,2]? Thanks anyway -- I shock all my classmates (economists usually work with M$ trash) with super beautiful equatioins in Computer Modern fonts (and advertising LyX by that)!

Conflict between hyperref and shortcaption trick!
Hi. I use the trick quiet often until recently I discovered a conflict. If I put hyperref in the preamble, the short caption will not show up in LOF! The long caption show up instead. If I remove hyperref, then it all becomes normal. But I need hyperref! Please see the attached example file. The short caption trick I mentioned is here (the nicer solution): http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/floats/caption.html#short I looked at the hyperref package and got only headache.

This has come up once again. Perhaps the default behavior of LyX

I have used this method and till today it worked. Now I have a figure
composed by both a .tex part and a .ps one. These parts are generated by
gnuplot and the .tex part calls the .ps one with:
\special{psfile=figure.ps llx=0 lly=0 urx=720 ury=504 rwi=7200}
My "main" lyx file is in . and the chapters are in subdirs ./ch1, ./ch2,
..., ./chN. The subdirs contains the image files of each chapter, too.
When I run xdvi, it can't find the .ps part of the figure. I have worked
this out sym-linking each .ps file in the main directory, but is there
an approach similar to the one you suggested for this problem too? I
don't like the main dir full of sym-links!
Thanks a lot

Big slowdown in printing and displaying in 1.1.6fix2, Just me?
I recently upgraded lyx to 1.1.6fix2 and noticed a big slow down in printing and displaying. Small files (a few pages, up to 4) will work, but very slowly, at least a minute, while it would be within 10 seconds before. Forget about printing a large document directly. Even an hour is not long enough. The manual route does work (export -> tex, latex filename (2x), xdvi or dvips), and does not seem to be slowed down. Since the tex files can be created quickly (export -> tex) i assume something goes wrong with the latex/lyx dialog. Now i can see two points where something went wrong, either with the upgrade to 1.1.6fix2 or with an install of some packages in tex/texmf. Anyone familiar with the symptoms?

With an older version i used method 1, and it worked, but recently i upgraded to 1.1.6fix2 and it doesn't work anymore. The reason is that if you activate the 'cross reference' panel in 'chap2.lyx' and then switch to 'chap1.lyx' (Documents menu) the panel disappears. Most annoying. Is this fixed in fix3? I should apparentely try method 2. (a huge bother with citation references). It also seems that i joined too late to see method 3.

Or is it possible to use something like option 1? My bibliography is in master.lyx and I want to insert a reference to it e.g. in chap1.lyx.

popups stay on top
I'm using version 1.1.6 fix3. All the popup windows (such as Table of Contents, Math Panel and so on) stay on top of LyX main window, even when they are unfocused. Is there a way to change this? I have used an older version and this was not the default behaviour. Cheers -- A presto, Davide Cavallari The autodecrement is not magical. -- Larry Wall in the perl man page

Actually, this feature is mentionned in the (long) list of tasks in http://www.devel.lyx.org/tasks.php3: o the possibility to collapse parts of the document. (i.e. collapse the contents of a section. Would make moving parts of the document around very easy) Also, I added your message as a feature request at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=471652&group_id=15212&atid=365212 Feel free to comment there.

I very much agree with that, also Search and Replace in math-boxed is an often required feature. Just now, I save the lyx-file, open it in an editor (jed in my case) and do the replace over there, and finally do a File|Restore to get the chages into LyX.
