It depends on your needs. You need to do some learning for all version
control.

RCS is most simple and does not offer much more than simple saving of
previous states - the advantage over numbered backup copies is just some
saved disk-space. Like numbered backup copies, you can of course share
with co-workers, but that is all collaborating support you will get.

I would not start a new CVS repository these days.

SVN uses a central repository - one computer holds the history while the
normal users up- and download from this to their working directory.
This is fine if you have access to (or manage to set up) a server which
is accessible over the net for all the time. For single-user mode you can
set up a server on your machine (relatively simple with Linux, don't know
how to do with other OSes).

For small workgroups I prefer Git. Here, all users have a copy of the
whole history and can browse it locally. Collaboration is done via push
of new versions to your local repository and pull from fellow
repositories.  Unfortunately, there is no direct LyX support. (OTOH, there
are several frontends much in the spirit of LyX - working on top of the
command line tool but not hindering direct access to the full power of
the command line.)

 however lyx support only .lyx files, not files like bibliography or
 pictures around. these need to be manually added so if you don't intend
 to become commandline capable, the lyx support of version control won't
 be enough for you.

This is one more argument for Git (or a similar modern cms like mercurial).

Re: rcs-multi and LyX 2.0 RC1

 Hi,

 I would expect the revision numbers and dates to be different for each

 When I export the master document to pdflatex the children do not have
 the preamble, so the output is technically correct, however undesired.

 How do I achieve the wanted behaviour so I an see when I last edited a

You can try to put

Outline mode won't open for me.

2011-03-29 Thread Pete Crite

Hi,

I was trying to find a way to search for a particular citation in my LyX 
document, and went into the menu Navigate  Other Lists  Lists of Citations. 
In some documents (perhaps those with less citations), my citations appear 
directly in the drop-down menu. In others, I get the item Open Navigator… After 
a bit of googling, this appears to trigger the Toggle outline button in my 
toolbar. Alternatively, the menu Document  Outline does the same.

My problem is that this does not seem to do anything in my computer! Nothing 
noticeable changes. No window, panel or toolbar opens. I'm not really sure what 
should happen, but I certainly can't see anything obvious. I remember vaguely 
amending some configuration files once, so I attempted a new install on a fresh 
user, but no luck still. What should I be seeing? Presumably it's broken on my 
installation?

Apologies if this has already been answered, but searching for outline in the 
mailing list seems to bring up every post.

Cheers,
Pete.

 Dear all,

   I have decided to take the plunge and start to use a revision
 control system for all or almost all my projects from here on.

I tried several times to start using SVN for my documents and
projects, but always had to back down since, well, it's too much
overhead. Unless you're doing something fancy and need advanced
features of SVN or GIT, I could suggest a simpler solution.

At the moment I use SpiderOak [1], which is similar to Dropbox but
much more flexible. You can imitate revision control systems by
letting SpiderOak automatically backup a given file or the files from
a given folder (this removes the overhead of manually performing the
commit / push). SpiderOak keeps all historical versions (only the
diffs), so they're easily available if anything goes unexpectedly,
under the 2GB limit of free storage. For major changes I also keep a
change.log file, which I edit and save at the same time as the main
file; this way I keep a log of major modifications, and let SpiderOak
take care of backing up most (and minor) modifications automatically.
[1] http://alternativeto.net/software/spideroak/about

This is probably a matter of habit, but it seems to be working for me
so far. It's also easier to setup and understand than most RCS.
Additionally you can also set up the sync features, to automatically
fetch on a different system (it's cross-platform) the latest versions
of your files. This again removes the overhead of manually checking
out / pulling from the SVN / GIT server. But then, for collaboration,
this is probably not the answer (although you could investigate the
sharing features of SpiderOak).

Cheers
Liviu


 However, I have no experience with any of the many options available
 (i.e. RCS, SVN, Git?, etc.). In other words, I must  learn how to use
 the system *and* learn how to use it from within LyX: I am a totally
 blank slate, in other words, unhampered by previous knowledge. I
 wonder if anyone could offer feedback on the systems they use?

 I will use it only for LyX (and LaTeX), for individual or very
 small-team projects (5 people). My preferences are the ease to
 integration with Lyx and easy repository maintenance (the criteria may
 be contradictory, of course).  I took a look at the wiki pages and the
 instructions on the help docs, but neither was very helpful at my
 stage (of ignorance). They all assume you have already decided which
 system to use, and provide instructions on how to use them from LyX.

 On the other hand, all the non-LyX sources of information I found are
 targeted at coders, typically working in large teams, with elaborate
 technical discussions of several complex use cases that seem not
 applicable for document-based repositories with individual- or small
 team access. I may be wrong, of course.

 Any suggestions is very welcome.

 Cheers,

 Stefano

Translations of Math environments in LyX output - last call for LyX 2.0

2011-03-29 Thread Pavel Sanda

Dear translators,

one of the new features in the upcoming LyX 2.0 is automatic translation
of math environments strings (and some floats) to the localized form.
For example Exercise becomes Aufgabe in the output of the documents
with language set to german.

In the attached file you find a list of translations which will appear in
exported documents, not only in the GUI. These translations will be fixed for
the 2.0.x release cycle, since the contents of documents must not change
between minor releases. It is still possible to add or change these
translations in .po files as usual, but these updates will only be used for the
GUI and not appear in the file lib/layouttranslations, which is used for the
exported translations.

Please go through all entries in the attached file for your language and 
ensure that they are correctly translated. Make any needed update in the .po 
files as usual. The lib/layouttranslations file will be regenerated 
automatically from the .po files before the final 2.0.0 release.

Similarly, if you are not translator (yet) but interested user, which
would like to have this feature working in your language, let me know
the fixes or new translations. Its about 30 items, so nothing which
expects tons of your time.

Pavel
# This file has been automatically generated by po/lyx_pot.py.

Re: Chapter* is making me crazy again WORKED AROUND

 Hi all,
 
 Yet another problem with Chapter*. I have some appendices at the end of the
 book which I put as Chapter* instead of Chapter so they wouldn't be
 identified as Chapter 58: Appendex A on the page header or in the table
 of contents. It didn't work out too well.
 
 The page headers for Appendex A shows the header for the last chapter made
 with Chapter instead of Chapter*. In other words, the Appendix's page
 header shows something like  Chapter 57: Lastchaptertitle.
 
 I'm using a document class derived from class Book, and it's waaay too
 late to change to Memoir or Koma or any of those, and I don't like them
 anyway.
 
 I've attached a 2 chapter sample that clearly shows the problem on its PDF
 output's last page.
 
 Another problem is my super-duper date-showing header reverts to the one
 last shown in a legitimate chapter.
 
 I spoze there are two ways I can handle this. I could make the appendices
 chapters and include ERT like this just before they start:
 
 \renewcommand{\thechapter}{ }\renewcommand{\chaptername}{ }
 
 I'd need to do something similar with the date variable used in the date
 header, which isn't that hard.
 
 Or I could find some way to make Chapter* influence \thechapter and
 \chaptername and the like.
 
 Any ideas?

So here's what I ended up doing. From an authoring standpoint it's ugly, but 
the output the user sees is fine, so what the heck. This works when the 
desired Chapter* are all at the end, with no further Chapter headings or 
anything that should be in Mainmatter.

After my chapters comes and Epilogue, which shouldn't have a chapter number, 
and then come three Appendices, which shouldn't have chapter numbers. So 
before the Epilogue I put in the following ERT:

\renewcommand{\hdrcolon}{ }
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{~}{ }
\renewcommand{\chapenglish}{ }
\backmatter

The first three commands blank out things like the word Chapter, the chapter 
number, and the colon that follows the chapter number in the headers. Note 
that \hdrcolon and \chapenglish are my own creations -- I've manually set my 
headers in my layout. Then I declare \backmatter, which does the following:

* Eliminates the words Chapter, the chapter number, and colon from the 
header.
* Eliminates the chapter number from the table of contents entry

Now if I'd had my druthers, I'd have wanted my Epilogue to be in the 
mainmatter, but this workaround demands it be in the backmatter. Fine, but I 
still want the user to think of the Epilogue as part of the book's text. So 
what I do is put a blank line in the table of contents following the Epilogue. 
Here's how. Between the end of the Epilogue and the start of Appendix A I 
include the following ERT:

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{~}

There we go. There's the kludgy Steve Litt we all know and love. He just 
inserted a blank contents line. What can I say, it works, and if the reader 
clicks on the blank chapter nothing happens, which is what you want.

Hey people, I didn't promise it would be pretty :-)

well known solution.

Hyperref was never meant to go with just any old label. Hyperref was built to 
refer to the current chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection, etc, 
containing the label. It's also meant to refer to the inside of a float, but 
that's beyond the scope of the current discussion.

Anyway, remember this: when you create a crossreference to a label, the page 
number is exactly that of the label, but hyperref jumps to the beginning of 
the smallest containing chapter, section, subsection etc containing that 
label.

So the hyperref people made the \phantomsection command to make a little tiny 
fake section. Whenever you make a label that isn't at the front of a chapter, 
section etc and isn't in a float, if you're using hyperref you MUST put an ERT 
\phantomsection immediately before the label. This will cure the problem I 
mentioned.

Remember, the \phantomsection goes before the *label*, not before the 
crossreference.

Happy hyperreffing.

ANNOUNCE: LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 2)

2011-03-29 Thread Pavel Sanda

Release of LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 2)
==

We are pleased to announce the second release candidate of LyX 2.0.0.

Due to the numerous requests we added more sets of toolbar icons (based on
Oxygen and LibreOffice themes) which can be easily changed in preferences.

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 1.6). We strongly recommend to read
this file for packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions.

As with any major release we come with lot of new features but also
bugs -- so while we encourage curious users to test this release, people
who rely on solid and stable application should stay with 1.6 releases.
Please report the problems and bugs at our lists or bug tracker.

Tarballs can be found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.0/ .
Binaries should follow soon.

LyX 2.0.0 will be culmination of more than two years of hard work
and you can find an overview of the new features here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20

If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.0, either e-mail the LyX
developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug
report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX and http://wiki.lyx.org.
If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list
(lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

We hope you will enjoy the result!

Windows AltInstaller for LyX 2.0.0rc2

2011-03-29 Thread Michal Skrzypek

In absence of the official maintainer (Uwe Stöhr) of LyX Alternate
Installer for Windows, I've stepped in and created 'unofficial'
installer for LyX version 2.0.0rc2.

As I'm not a LyX developer, I'm not really sure about the quality of
this installer. It worked for me, though.

For now the file is hosted on hotfile. If someone is willing to host
this and future versions of 'my' installer, please contact me off the
list.

The location follows:

http://hotfile.com/dl/112501138/0daf7c2/LyX-2.0.0rc2-AltInstaller.zip.html

WARNING!!!
==

THIS INSTALLER CONFLICTS WITH LyX 1.6.x !!!

So, don't try to install LyX 2.0 together with LyX 1.6 - it will
destroy/overwrite LyX 1.6 settings.

For details, see http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7315). I still
cannot find where the path to the LyX settings is hardcoded in the
installer (aside from Settings.nsh), so the bug will remain there for
the time being...

You have been warned...

Technical details
-

To compile LyX, I've used msvc 2008 express together with SCons, which
is the recommended route for compiling LyX 2.0.0-beta4. For some reasons
unknown to me, it is no longer the case with 2.0.0-rc1 (there, msvc 2010
with CMake are recommended)

Attached in the 'src' directory is a small patch to SConstruct I've
made (commenting out 3 lines).

Then I've used the 'LyxPackage' released semi-officially
by Uwe Stöhr for LyX 2.0beta3, replaced and changed some files,
and finally built the installer.

In case of any problems you can mail me, but I can't promise
anything (please CC me, as I am not subscribed there).

Nope, nothing at all. I've tried with one monitor. I also tried using a Linux 
installation of 1.6.5 (I think), and that works fine, just not with the OS X 
version. I've just downloaded the 2.0rc2 for OS X, and it's actually working

It depends on your needs. You need to do some learning for all version
control.

RCS is most simple and does not offer much more than simple saving of
previous states - the advantage over numbered backup copies is just some
saved disk-space. Like numbered backup copies, you can of course share
with co-workers, but that is all collaborating support you will get.

I would not start a new CVS repository these days.

SVN uses a central repository - one computer holds the history while the
normal users up- and download from this to their working directory.
This is fine if you have access to (or manage to set up) a server which
is accessible over the net for all the time. For single-user mode you can
set up a server on your machine (relatively simple with Linux, don't know
how to do with other OSes).

For small workgroups I prefer Git. Here, all users have a copy of the
whole history and can browse it locally. Collaboration is done via push
of new versions to your local repository and pull from fellow
repositories.  Unfortunately, there is no direct LyX support. (OTOH, there
are several frontends much in the spirit of LyX - working on top of the
command line tool but not hindering direct access to the full power of
the command line.)

 however lyx support only .lyx files, not files like bibliography or
 pictures around. these need to be manually added so if you don't intend
 to become commandline capable, the lyx support of version control won't
 be enough for you.

This is one more argument for Git (or a similar modern cms like mercurial).

Outline mode won't open for me.

2011-03-29 Thread Pete Crite

Hi,

I was trying to find a way to search for a particular citation in my LyX 
document, and went into the menu Navigate  Other Lists  Lists of Citations. 
In some documents (perhaps those with less citations), my citations appear 
directly in the drop-down menu. In others, I get the item Open Navigator… After 
a bit of googling, this appears to trigger the Toggle outline button in my 
toolbar. Alternatively, the menu Document  Outline does the same.

My problem is that this does not seem to do anything in my computer! Nothing 
noticeable changes. No window, panel or toolbar opens. I'm not really sure what 
should happen, but I certainly can't see anything obvious. I remember vaguely 
amending some configuration files once, so I attempted a new install on a fresh 
user, but no luck still. What should I be seeing? Presumably it's broken on my 
installation?

Apologies if this has already been answered, but searching for outline in the 
mailing list seems to bring up every post.

 Dear all,

   I have decided to take the plunge and start to use a revision
 control system for all or almost all my projects from here on.

I tried several times to start using SVN for my documents and
projects, but always had to back down since, well, it's too much
overhead. Unless you're doing something fancy and need advanced
features of SVN or GIT, I could suggest a simpler solution.

At the moment I use SpiderOak [1], which is similar to Dropbox but
much more flexible. You can imitate revision control systems by
letting SpiderOak automatically backup a given file or the files from
a given folder (this removes the overhead of manually performing the
commit / push). SpiderOak keeps all historical versions (only the
diffs), so they're easily available if anything goes unexpectedly,
under the 2GB limit of free storage. For major changes I also keep a
change.log file, which I edit and save at the same time as the main
file; this way I keep a log of major modifications, and let SpiderOak
take care of backing up most (and minor) modifications automatically.
[1] http://alternativeto.net/software/spideroak/about

This is probably a matter of habit, but it seems to be working for me
so far. It's also easier to setup and understand than most RCS.
Additionally you can also set up the sync features, to automatically
fetch on a different system (it's cross-platform) the latest versions
of your files. This again removes the overhead of manually checking
out / pulling from the SVN / GIT server. But then, for collaboration,
this is probably not the answer (although you could investigate the
sharing features of SpiderOak).

Cheers
Liviu


 However, I have no experience with any of the many options available
 (i.e. RCS, SVN, Git?, etc.). In other words, I must  learn how to use
 the system *and* learn how to use it from within LyX: I am a totally
 blank slate, in other words, unhampered by previous knowledge. I
 wonder if anyone could offer feedback on the systems they use?

 I will use it only for LyX (and LaTeX), for individual or very
 small-team projects (5 people). My preferences are the ease to
 integration with Lyx and easy repository maintenance (the criteria may
 be contradictory, of course).  I took a look at the wiki pages and the
 instructions on the help docs, but neither was very helpful at my
 stage (of ignorance). They all assume you have already decided which
 system to use, and provide instructions on how to use them from LyX.

 On the other hand, all the non-LyX sources of information I found are
 targeted at coders, typically working in large teams, with elaborate
 technical discussions of several complex use cases that seem not
 applicable for document-based repositories with individual- or small
 team access. I may be wrong, of course.

 Any suggestions is very welcome.

 Cheers,

 Stefano

Translations of Math environments in LyX output - last call for LyX 2.0

2011-03-29 Thread Pavel Sanda

Dear translators,

one of the new features in the upcoming LyX 2.0 is automatic translation
of math environments strings (and some floats) to the localized form.
For example Exercise becomes Aufgabe in the output of the documents
with language set to german.

In the attached file you find a list of translations which will appear in
exported documents, not only in the GUI. These translations will be fixed for
the 2.0.x release cycle, since the contents of documents must not change
between minor releases. It is still possible to add or change these
translations in .po files as usual, but these updates will only be used for the
GUI and not appear in the file lib/layouttranslations, which is used for the
exported translations.

Please go through all entries in the attached file for your language and 
ensure that they are correctly translated. Make any needed update in the .po 
files as usual. The lib/layouttranslations file will be regenerated 
automatically from the .po files before the final 2.0.0 release.

Similarly, if you are not translator (yet) but interested user, which
would like to have this feature working in your language, let me know
the fixes or new translations. Its about 30 items, so nothing which
expects tons of your time.

Pavel
# This file has been automatically generated by po/lyx_pot.py.

Sounds broken, yes. Try moving (renaming) your local configuration

Lyx - latex - Lyx - cycle not working for very simple file

2011-03-29 Thread dariomt

Hi list,

I have looked around and I've seen there are a couple of issues with exporting
to latex and then reimporting it to lyx.

I have run into that problem with a really very simple file (a 1x1 table with a
'program listing' inside), and would like to know if there are any known
workarounds to make it work.

With the attached lyx document I do File-Export-LaTex(plain) and then
File-Import-LaTex(plain) and I get a lyx document that cannot be rendered as a
pdf.

Any help or pointer is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Chapter* is making me crazy again WORKED AROUND

2011-03-29 Thread Steve Litt

On Sunday 27 March 2011 19:52:42 Steve Litt wrote:
 Hi all,
 
 Yet another problem with Chapter*. I have some appendices at the end of the
 book which I put as Chapter* instead of Chapter so they wouldn't be
 identified as Chapter 58: Appendex A on the page header or in the table
 of contents. It didn't work out too well.
 
 The page headers for Appendex A shows the header for the last chapter made
 with Chapter instead of Chapter*. In other words, the Appendix's page
 header shows something like  Chapter 57: Lastchaptertitle.
 
 I'm using a document class derived from class Book, and it's waaay too
 late to change to Memoir or Koma or any of those, and I don't like them
 anyway.
 
 I've attached a 2 chapter sample that clearly shows the problem on its PDF
 output's last page.
 
 Another problem is my super-duper date-showing header reverts to the one
 last shown in a legitimate chapter.
 
 I spoze there are two ways I can handle this. I could make the appendices
 chapters and include ERT like this just before they start:
 
 \renewcommand{\thechapter}{ }\renewcommand{\chaptername}{ }
 
 I'd need to do something similar with the date variable used in the date
 header, which isn't that hard.
 
 Or I could find some way to make Chapter* influence \thechapter and
 \chaptername and the like.
 
 Any ideas?

So here's what I ended up doing. From an authoring standpoint it's ugly, but 
the output the user sees is fine, so what the heck. This works when the 
desired Chapter* are all at the end, with no further Chapter headings or 
anything that should be in Mainmatter.

After my chapters comes and Epilogue, which shouldn't have a chapter number, 
and then come three Appendices, which shouldn't have chapter numbers. So 
before the Epilogue I put in the following ERT:

\renewcommand{\hdrcolon}{ }
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{~}{ }
\renewcommand{\chapenglish}{ }
\backmatter

The first three commands blank out things like the word Chapter, the chapter 
number, and the colon that follows the chapter number in the headers. Note 
that \hdrcolon and \chapenglish are my own creations -- I've manually set my 
headers in my layout. Then I declare \backmatter, which does the following:

* Eliminates the words Chapter, the chapter number, and colon from the 
header.
* Eliminates the chapter number from the table of contents entry

Now if I'd had my druthers, I'd have wanted my Epilogue to be in the 
mainmatter, but this workaround demands it be in the backmatter. Fine, but I 
still want the user to think of the Epilogue as part of the book's text. So 
what I do is put a blank line in the table of contents following the Epilogue. 
Here's how. Between the end of the Epilogue and the start of Appendix A I 
include the following ERT:

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{~}

There we go. There's the kludgy Steve Litt we all know and love. He just 
inserted a blank contents line. What can I say, it works, and if the reader 
clicks on the blank chapter nothing happens, which is what you want.

Hey people, I didn't promise it would be pretty :-)

Hi all,

It was exactly what Jacob said, and it's actually a well known problem with a 
well known solution.

Hyperref was never meant to go with just any old label. Hyperref was built to 
refer to the current chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection, etc, 
containing the label. It's also meant to refer to the inside of a float, but 
that's beyond the scope of the current discussion.

Anyway, remember this: when you create a crossreference to a label, the page 
number is exactly that of the label, but hyperref jumps to the beginning of 
the smallest containing chapter, section, subsection etc containing that 
label.

So the hyperref people made the \phantomsection command to make a little tiny 
fake section. Whenever you make a label that isn't at the front of a chapter, 
section etc and isn't in a float, if you're using hyperref you MUST put an ERT 
\phantomsection immediately before the label. This will cure the problem I 
mentioned.

Remember, the \phantomsection goes before the *label*, not before the 
crossreference.

Happy hyperreffing.

ANNOUNCE: LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 2)

2011-03-29 Thread Pavel Sanda

Release of LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 2)
==

We are pleased to announce the second release candidate of LyX 2.0.0.

Due to the numerous requests we added more sets of toolbar icons (based on
Oxygen and LibreOffice themes) which can be easily changed in preferences.

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 1.6). We strongly recommend to read
this file for packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions.

As with any major release we come with lot of new features but also
bugs -- so while we encourage curious users to test this release, people
who rely on solid and stable application should stay with 1.6 releases.
Please report the problems and bugs at our lists or bug tracker.

Tarballs can be found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.0/ .
Binaries should follow soon.

LyX 2.0.0 will be culmination of more than two years of hard work
and you can find an overview of the new features here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20

If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.0, either e-mail the LyX
developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug
report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX and http://wiki.lyx.org.
If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list
(lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

We hope you will enjoy the result!

Windows AltInstaller for LyX 2.0.0rc2

2011-03-29 Thread Michal Skrzypek

In absence of the official maintainer (Uwe Stöhr) of LyX Alternate
Installer for Windows, I've stepped in and created 'unofficial'
installer for LyX version 2.0.0rc2.

As I'm not a LyX developer, I'm not really sure about the quality of
this installer. It worked for me, though.

For now the file is hosted on hotfile. If someone is willing to host
this and future versions of 'my' installer, please contact me off the
list.

The location follows:

http://hotfile.com/dl/112501138/0daf7c2/LyX-2.0.0rc2-AltInstaller.zip.html

WARNING!!!
==

THIS INSTALLER CONFLICTS WITH LyX 1.6.x !!!

So, don't try to install LyX 2.0 together with LyX 1.6 - it will
destroy/overwrite LyX 1.6 settings.

For details, see http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7315). I still
cannot find where the path to the LyX settings is hardcoded in the
installer (aside from Settings.nsh), so the bug will remain there for
the time being...

You have been warned...

Technical details
-

To compile LyX, I've used msvc 2008 express together with SCons, which
is the recommended route for compiling LyX 2.0.0-beta4. For some reasons
unknown to me, it is no longer the case with 2.0.0-rc1 (there, msvc 2010
with CMake are recommended)

Attached in the 'src' directory is a small patch to SConstruct I've
made (commenting out 3 lines).

Then I've used the 'LyxPackage' released semi-officially
by Uwe Stöhr for LyX 2.0beta3, replaced and changed some files,
and finally built the installer.

In case of any problems you can mail me, but I can't promise
anything (please CC me, as I am not subscribed there).

Nope, nothing at all. I've tried with one monitor. I also tried using a Linux 
installation of 1.6.5 (I think), and that works fine, just not with the OS X 
version. I've just downloaded the 2.0rc2 for OS X, and it's actually working 
there, so I guess it's a moot point now anyway.

It depends on your needs. You need to do some learning for all version
control.

RCS is most simple and does not offer much more than simple saving of
previous states - the advantage over numbered backup copies is just some
saved disk-space. Like numbered backup copies, you can of course share
with co-workers, but that is all collaborating support you will get.

I would not start a new CVS repository these days.

SVN uses a central repository - one computer holds the history while the
"normal" users up- and download from this to their working directory.
This is fine if you have access to (or manage to set up) a server which
is accessible over the net for all the time. For single-user mode you can
set up a server on your machine (relatively simple with Linux, don't know
how to do with other OSes).

For small workgroups I prefer Git. Here, all users have a copy of the
whole history and can browse it locally. Collaboration is done via push
of new versions to your local repository and pull from fellow
repositories.  Unfortunately, there is no direct LyX support. (OTOH, there
are several frontends much in the spirit of LyX -> working on top of the
command line tool but not hindering direct access to the full power of
the command line.)

This is one more argument for Git (or a similar modern cms like mercurial).

I tried several times to start using SVN for my documents and
projects, but always had to back down since, well, it's too much
overhead. Unless you're doing something fancy and need advanced
features of SVN or GIT, I could suggest a simpler solution.

At the moment I use SpiderOak [1], which is similar to Dropbox but
much more flexible. You can imitate revision control systems by
letting SpiderOak automatically backup a given file or the files from
a given folder (this removes the overhead of manually performing the
commit / push). SpiderOak keeps all historical versions (only the
diffs), so they're easily available if anything goes unexpectedly,
under the 2GB limit of free storage. For major changes I also keep a
change.log file, which I edit and save at the same time as the main
file; this way I keep a log of major modifications, and let SpiderOak
take care of backing up most (and minor) modifications automatically.
[1] http://alternativeto.net/software/spideroak/about

This is probably a matter of habit, but it seems to be working for me
so far. It's also easier to setup and understand than most RCS.
Additionally you can also set up the sync features, to automatically
fetch on a different system (it's cross-platform) the latest versions
of your files. This again removes the overhead of manually checking
out / pulling from the SVN / GIT server. But then, for collaboration,
this is probably not the answer (although you could investigate the
sharing features of SpiderOak).

There ar many frontends for different VCS - Nice ones with integration
into Nautilus (on Linux) is RabbitVCS (http://www.rabbitvcs.org/) ---
like tortoisevcs (http://www.tortoisecvs.org/) is for windows.

By the way: I use SVN and I am quite happy with it.

I thought of including it, but since all the flames from the previous
implementation attempt I had the feeling that there was no consensus
on how the feature should be implemented. And GSoC projects should at

Translations of Math environments in LyX output - last call for LyX 2.0

2011-03-29 Thread Pavel Sanda

Dear translators,

one of the new features in the upcoming LyX 2.0 is automatic translation
of math environments strings (and some floats) to the localized form.
For example "Exercise" becomes "Aufgabe" in the output of the documents
with language set to german.

In the attached file you find a list of translations which will appear in
exported documents, not only in the GUI. These translations will be fixed for
the 2.0.x release cycle, since the contents of documents must not change
between minor releases. It is still possible to add or change these
translations in .po files as usual, but these updates will only be used for the
GUI and not appear in the file lib/layouttranslations, which is used for the
exported translations.

Please go through all entries in the attached file for your language and 
ensure that they are correctly translated. Make any needed update in the .po 
files as usual. The lib/layouttranslations file will be regenerated 
automatically from the .po files before the final 2.0.0 release.

Similarly, if you are not translator (yet) but interested user, which
would like to have this feature working in your language, let me know
the fixes or new translations. Its about 30 items, so nothing which
expects tons of your time.

Pavel

Sounds broken, yes. Try moving (renaming) your local configuration

Lyx -> latex -> Lyx - cycle not working for very simple file

Hi list,

I have run into that problem with a really very simple file (a 1x1 table with a

With the attached lyx document I do File->Export->LaTex(plain) and then
File->Import->LaTex(plain) and I get a lyx document that cannot be rendered as a
pdf.

Any help or pointer is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

So here's what I ended up doing. From an authoring standpoint it's ugly, but 
the output the user sees is fine, so what the heck. This works when the 
desired Chapter* are all at the end, with no further Chapter headings or 
anything that should be in Mainmatter.

After my chapters comes and Epilogue, which shouldn't have a chapter number, 
and then come three Appendices, which shouldn't have chapter numbers. So 
before the Epilogue I put in the following ERT:

\renewcommand{\hdrcolon}{ }
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{~}{ }
\renewcommand{\chapenglish}{ }
\backmatter

The first three commands blank out things like the word "Chapter, the chapter 
number, and the colon that follows the chapter number in the headers. Note 
that \hdrcolon and \chapenglish are my own creations -- I've manually set my 
headers in my layout. Then I declare \backmatter, which does the following:

* Eliminates the words "Chapter", the chapter number, and colon from the 
header.
* Eliminates the chapter number from the table of contents entry

Now if I'd had my druthers, I'd have wanted my Epilogue to be in the 
mainmatter, but this workaround demands it be in the backmatter. Fine, but I 
still want the user to think of the Epilogue as part of the book's text. So 
what I do is put a blank line in the table of contents following the Epilogue. 
Here's how. Between the end of the Epilogue and the start of Appendix A I 
include the following ERT:

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{~}

There we go. There's the kludgy Steve Litt we all know and love. He just 
inserted a blank contents line. What can I say, it works, and if the reader 
clicks on the blank chapter nothing happens, which is what you want.

Hey people, I didn't promise it would be pretty :-)

Hi all,

It was exactly what Jacob said, and it's actually a well known problem with a 
well known solution.

Hyperref was never meant to go with just any old label. Hyperref was built to 
refer to the current chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection, etc, 
containing the label. It's also meant to refer to the inside of a float, but 
that's beyond the scope of the current discussion.

Anyway, remember this: when you create a crossreference to a label, the page 
number is exactly that of the label, but hyperref jumps to the beginning of 
the smallest containing chapter, section, subsection etc containing that 
label.

So the hyperref people made the \phantomsection command to make a little tiny 
fake section. Whenever you make a label that isn't at the front of a chapter, 
section etc and isn't in a float, if you're using hyperref you MUST put an ERT 
\phantomsection immediately before the label. This will cure the problem I 
mentioned.

Remember, the \phantomsection goes before the *label*, not before the 
crossreference.

Happy hyperreffing.

If you use SVN so why not dump the BIB file into the sucker and use
a little make script.  So you'd have to remember to run make, but
that's not too bad :-)-O

ANNOUNCE: LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 2)

2011-03-29 Thread Pavel Sanda

Release of LyX version 2.0.0 (release candidate 2)
==

We are pleased to announce the second release candidate of LyX 2.0.0.

Due to the numerous requests we added more sets of toolbar icons (based on
Oxygen and LibreOffice themes) which can be easily changed in preferences.

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 1.6). We strongly recommend to read
this file for packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions.

As with any major release we come with lot of new features but also
bugs -- so while we encourage curious users to test this release, people
who rely on solid and stable application should stay with 1.6 releases.
Please report the problems and bugs at our lists or bug tracker.

Tarballs can be found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.0/ .
Binaries should follow soon.

LyX 2.0.0 will be culmination of more than two years of hard work
and you can find an overview of the new features here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20

If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.0, either e-mail the LyX
developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug
report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX and http://wiki.lyx.org.
If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list
(lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

We hope you will enjoy the result!

The LyX team.

Thanks, works.

However, what I really need to do, is to put the

\usepackage{rcs-multi}
\usepackage[draft]{pdfdraftcopy}
\draftfontsize{60}
\draftcolor{gray20}

in each preamble and then

\rcsid{$Id$}
\draftstring{v\rcsfilerev, \rcsfileyear-\rcsfilemonth-\rcsfileday}

in ERT into each file.

because that way I can pdflatex the whole master document, but also each
individual one on its own :-)-O

This is very cool, but I think one should look at a Request for Feature,
because this situation is surely not unique :-)-O

The original poster was asking about a corporate environment, in other
words someone from the IT department needs to control outside access and
once the imported things are vetted they can be made available to the

"Makework" but it can be done :-)-O

Checking in/out of multiple files

2011-03-29 Thread Dr Eberhard W Lisse

Hi,

is it possible (on OS X 10.6.7, LyX 2.0 RC1) to check in or out
several files?

It's rather tedious having to do this manually if you have to make a
change to several files...

Are you sure nothing happens? It should bring up a small window that
stays on top of other windows. If you're using 2 monitors, it's
conceivable that that window is on a different monitor.

Otherwise, I'm out of ideas.

Cursor Color LyX 2.0RC2

2011-03-29 Thread Greg Kise


Hey LyXers,

First, I love that we can now increase the cursor size! Thanks!

Second, did we lose the ability to change the cursor color? I see that  
"cursor" is absent from the color preferences. Any way to change the  
cursor color like before?


Cheers!

Windows AltInstaller for LyX 2.0.0rc2

2011-03-29 Thread Michal Skrzypek

In absence of the official maintainer (Uwe Stöhr) of LyX Alternate
Installer for Windows, I've stepped in and created 'unofficial'
installer for LyX version 2.0.0rc2.

As I'm not a LyX developer, I'm not really sure about the quality of
this installer. It worked for me, though.

For now the file is hosted on hotfile. If someone is willing to host
this and future versions of 'my' installer, please contact me off the
list.

The location follows:

http://hotfile.com/dl/112501138/0daf7c2/LyX-2.0.0rc2-AltInstaller.zip.html

WARNING!!!
==

THIS INSTALLER CONFLICTS WITH LyX 1.6.x !!!

So, don't try to install LyX 2.0 together with LyX 1.6 - it will
destroy/overwrite LyX 1.6 settings.

For details, see http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7315). I still
cannot find where the path to the LyX settings is hardcoded in the
installer (aside from Settings.nsh), so the bug will remain there for
the time being...

You have been warned...

Technical details
-

To compile LyX, I've used msvc 2008 express together with SCons, which
is the recommended route for compiling LyX 2.0.0-beta4. For some reasons
unknown to me, it is no longer the case with 2.0.0-rc1 (there, msvc 2010
with CMake are recommended)

Attached in the 'src' directory is a small patch to SConstruct I've
made (commenting out 3 lines).

Then I've used the 'LyxPackage' released semi-officially
by Uwe Stöhr for LyX 2.0beta3, replaced and changed some files,
and finally built the installer.

In case of any problems you can mail me, but I can't promise
anything (please CC me, as I am not subscribed there).

Regards,
Michał Skrzypek

Nope, nothing at all. I've tried with one monitor. I also tried using a Linux 
installation of 1.6.5 (I think), and that works fine, just not with the OS X 
version. I've just downloaded the 2.0rc2 for OS X, and it's actually working 
there, so I guess it's a moot point now anyway.

Thanks for your help!
Pete.
