mini-buffer's showing and hding

2006-12-11 Thread Stefano Franchi
I would like to revert the minibuffer behavior of my 1.4.x LyX 
installation to the behavior I had under 1.3.x. That is:


1. No minibuffer is shown as default
2. M-x opens the minibuffer for input (and gains focus too)
3. at the end of minibuffer editing, the minibuffer itself is closed.

I cannot replicate step 3:  the mini-buffer, once opened remains 
opened. Any suggestion?



Thanks,

Stefano

Problem embedding graphics

2006-12-11 Thread Manolo Martí­nez
Hello, I'm relatively new to LyX, but have been using it easily and with 
great results for the last couple of months. Until I've tried to embed 
graphics, that is.


Here is the problem: I embed a graphic using (as recommended in the 
User's Guide) Insert- Floating- Floatflt Figure and then, inside the 
box, Insert- Image. The image shows into the document all right but, 
when I try to see a DVI, I get 5 errors:

I'd like to second this request. There should be a way to get rid of

You can get rid of the minibuffer by right clicking in an empty space on 
the toolbar and unchecking it.  That said, I'd like to see M-x toggle 
the minibuffer (open it if closed, close it if open).  Having to click 
(twice) to get rid of it is a bit awkward, not to mention less than 
widely publicized.


I'm not sure I second the notion of automatically closing the minibuffer 
after each command; it's conceivable someone might want to type in a 
sequence of commands (for instance, define several math macros in a 
single orgy of typing).

if the default is "off", then LyX should return to that state after  
executing a command from the minibuffer.

I'd like to second this request. There should be a way to get rid of the 
minibuffer after invoking it. I have the line

"minibuffer" "off,bottom"
in my user interface file "default.ui". When I invoke the command line 
with the key for "command-execute", it appears at the bottom, but I 
don't know a way to hide it again. It seems logical to me that if the 
default is "off", then LyX should return to that state after executing a 
command from the minibuffer.

You can get rid of the minibuffer by right clicking in an empty space on 
the toolbar and unchecking it.  That said, I'd like to see M-x toggle 
the minibuffer (open it if closed, close it if open).  Having to click 
(twice) to get rid of it is a bit awkward, not to mention less than 
widely publicized.


I'm not sure I second the notion of automatically closing the minibuffer 
after each command; it's conceivable someone might want to type in a 
sequence of commands (for instance, define several math macros in a 
single orgy of typing).

Paul,

great, thanks for the hint. It's always fun to discover some new  
hidden feature. That trick is good enough for me, since I don't  
actually invoke the minibuffer all that often.

Thanks for your help, all i had to do was copy the files *.cls and *.sty to 
the directory "$TEXMF/tex/latex//", then run "texhash" as root and 
do a Tools -> Reconfigure and restart Lyx.

Thanks again
