Copy/Paste problems with Lyx 2.0.x
Hi all, I'm using Lyx 2.0.3 on a Windows 7 Pro 64 system and i have some serious problems with copy/paste: I often can't copy/paste floating objects (Lyx refuses to paste the object if i press ctrl+v), cross references, labels or formulae (lyx inserts them as plain text) within the _same_ document. I recently updated Lyx from 2.0.1 to 2.0.3, but the problem still exists. Sometimes it helps to close lyx or even restart the pc, then copy/paste works properly again. So far i found nothing about this in the archives and only some postings in other forums: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=19635 http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/43149/copy-and-paste-disabled-in-lyx-2-0 In the latter, it is claimed that it might be an issue with the 64bit Windows. Is this true? Is there chance that this bug is resolved soon? Cheers, Reimar

I've been watching this thread, hoping that someone might come up with
something that works.
I doubt this will help. But I use this format in letter
(KOMA-Script v.2)
\firstfoot{the stuff I want in it}
This will place the footer at the bottom of the first page where logos
and headings and such are, but not on any pages after that.
Just thought it might help. As well as the above I also tried adding:
\rfoot{the stuff I want in it}
But with both those footer commands in the letter environment preamble
coughs up errors.
In fact \cfoot{the stuff I want in it} won't work at all in the letter
environment preamble, I have to use: \firstfoot
But it might work for you?
Be well,
Charlie

Re: Will LyX produce a LaTeX2E or TeX file?
Thanks Stefano, I now seem to be tantalizingly close to creating a zip folder (or zip archive?) to send to Philosophical Studies. I've created a .bib file that contains only the references I use in my paper, but this file is inside the Mendeley Desktop. And I *cannot* move it to any other location. So in particular I can't get it into the folder that contains the .tex file of my manuscript. If only I could do that, I think I would be able to apply WinZip to create the zipped entity (file?, folder?, archive?) I need, which I could then send to Philosophical Studies. I'm in philosophy at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, by the way. I've met Chris only once or twice, but we've corresponded. I admire his work.

But forget about that: I just checked the Springer instructions for Philosophical studies, and, as I suspected, they accept multi-file manuscript zipped into a single archive. So my suggestion is to avoid the complications of extracting the references and instead pack both your lyx-exported .tex file and your bibliography (in a bib file) into a single archive and then upload that. How to do that, again, depends on your platform. If you are on Windows there are many utilities that allow you to create zip archives. I don't use Windows, so I can't be precise, but I vaguely remember a program called WinZip that did just that. Windows users on this list may provide more specific advice. On lInux, you'd just use the zip command from the command line. Open a terminal window, move to the directory where your tex and bib files are: $cd /my/working/directory and then issue the zip command: $zip my_manuscript_archive my_file.tex my_references.bib that will produce a file called my_manuscript_archive.zip, which you can then upload to the Springer site On the Mac, you can do the same thing, I believe. Mac users may want to provide more specific advice. Note that Springer usually requires that your .bib file contains only the references you use in your manuscript. If you have a bib file with other references (as most people do), you should save it as a new file and then eliminate all the extra references (how to do that depends on which software you use to manage your references). > Since you're a philosopher and at Texas A&M, you must know Chris Menzel.

There's a Python script included with LyX that will do this for you.

spell checker problem
Hi, I'm not able to use the spell checker for Spanish. I'm using LyX 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 11.10. I installed the Spanish language through Ubuntu's Language Support and changed the language to Spanish in the document-settings in LyX. The Spanish entry in the drop-down menu appears checked but when I select it it immediately changes back to English. I also have German language support and I don't have this problem with it.Spell checking works fine in LibreOffice Writer. Thanks in advance.
Re: Regenerating Lilypond files
Yeah, I actually tried things like this. It doesn't seem to work. Even if you actually modify the file and then change it back, LyX still "knows" that the file hasn't "changed." So, I don't think whatever decision LyX is making is based on the modification timestamp. That would seem to be the easiest way to implement something like this, but LyX seems to use other criteria... anyone know what those criteria are?

So far, LyX has been great in handling them. I have run into one issue. LyX seems to "know" if a Lilypond file hasn't changed since the last output PDF was generated. If the Lilypond file hasn't changed, it doesn't run Lilypond again. In most circumstances, I can see how this is desirable. However, I need to know how to get LyX to regenerate ALL Lilypond files if I want to, even if the file LyX actually sees hasn't changed. Basically, since the structure of my musical examples is so complex, I have taken to separating some general formatting instructions and the actual musical data into separate files. These are loaded in the header of the Lilypond file that LyX actually sees, which is mostly a dummy file that sets up the score for the actual LyX example. So, if I make changes to the actual notes of my file or to the general formatting header file for my examples, the file LyX sees usually doesn't change. Yet, I still need LyX to re-run Lilypond sometimes. I don't need this to happen all the time, but is there a command or a way to just tell LyX to re-run Lilypond for all external material insets if I want a complete wipe? (I've noticed various ways of hacking this, like deleting an external material insertion and reinstating it in LyX, or adding an unnecessary blank comment line to my dummy files so LyX detects a "change," but these sorts of things are obviously annoying when dealing with hundreds of Lilypond files.) Thanks for any suggestions!

Thanks for the kind comments. I did wonder about importing the bib
files as LaTeX files so that commands like \textsc{blahblah} meant
blahblah was displayed as small caps in LyX, and correspondingly,
exporting as LaTeX so that the reverse happened, but it seemed *much*
more complicated: some formatting, like the small caps, to be
translated into LaTeX, some formatting, like the list environments
used for the overall display of the records, not to be translated into
LaTeX. A few thoughts of this kind convinced me that converting to and
from *text* rather than LaTeX was the way to go (i.e. was within my
technical competence).
Ok, but is still posible to do, perhaps in the future someone can.

If you mean having a blank record available like
@book{,
author = {},
title = {},
...
Yes this is what I meant
then you could create one in a yellow note (or a deactivated branch)
and simply copy and paste as required. In biblatex there are so many
possible fields that having a blank record containing all
possibilities would be a hindrance rather than a help. I found it
helpful to associate a shortcut key (Ctrl+=) with
Yes, there are many posibilities but there are also some of them that
are mandatory (author, title, year, for articles journal, for books
editor, and so on). I will try on yellow notes and I tell you later what
I get.
command-sequence self-insert = {},; char-left; char-left;
which inserts ={}, and puts the cursor between the braces, waiting for
stuff to be typed.
