 So you are trying to add a short title in the enumerate-resume
 environment? In that case, the patch Guenter had posted doesn't address this
 issue, but rather something to do with Labeling.

 If you look at enumitem.module, you'll see that it explicitly sets
 OptionalArgs to 0 for the Enumerate-Resume environment. This is because we
 are in effect forcing the short title to be resume, which we have to do to
 get the numbering to resume. There's no way at present to add anything else
 to the short title.

 Where are these instructions you mentioned?

The instructions I refer to are the ones at
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/Enumitem. The relevant part is:

Start your list, break it to insert some text, then start the list
again. This will restart the numbering a 1. Place the cursor after the
1., Select InsertShort Title and put start=x in the red box, where x
is the number you wish to restart the list at. Instead of start=x you
can just type resume and it will resume the numbering.

When I tried this, Insert  Short Title was grayed out. I googled the
problem, which led me to Guenter's patch.

This is all out of date. You can just choose Enumerate-Resume, and this 
happens automatically now. You don't need to add anything else.

pdf preview in LyX 2.0

[Tim Garrett]

I just updated to LyX 2.0 (mac os X 10.6.8) and the pdf preview feature no longer works. 
It used to pop up in adobe acrobat. Now LyX successfully processes the file, but no longer 
opens the acrobat window. I am still able to successfully export a pdf to my directory 
tree, but of course this requires the extra step of opening before the file is viewable.


I have tried hard-wiring the pdflatex executable to acrobat under Preferences -- File 
Handling --File Format -- Viewer but to no avail.


I can open a dvi but dvipdfm doesn't work, so I suspect there's something in the link to 
the pdf handler that is broken.


Thanks for advice.

Tim
