 Gordon,
 It's there somewhere. you just have to dig  around and look for it.

In case you want to find the text file with the crash report… look here:
~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

Using the Finder: 
1. change to your home folder
2. open GoTo menu item and go to Library etc…

 I have had the same problem many times on my Mac. lyx does not crash nicely 
 on the mac at least. While I can't see it in recent documents etc. I have 
 always found it. It's a pain - I just shrug my shoulders now and expect it to 
 happen.

LyX 2.0.5.1 is not as stable as it should. The current version is LyX 2.0.6. 
Please try this instead.

 lyx does not have any real development support in the huge mac area as far as 
 I can see.

What do you want to say here?

'extended' glossary in lyx

[Tino Langer]

Hello,

I'm looking for a possibility to create a glossary with 3 columns 
(formula, short description, description) using lyx . It it possible to 
do this with lyx natively?


Googeling around I found the package glossaries - but using it I don't 
get a glossary generated. It seems there are calls missing to generate 
.gls-files on the base of .glo-files using makeindex.


perhaps a small example can help?

Hello Parastoo,

where have you read that you should use article[arabic] as document class for Farsi. Doing this can 
break the compilation.


In our Wiki we have a recipe what you need to to to get Farsi to work:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Farsi

(Unfortunately the Ubuntu section there is incorrect because it describes a 
nasty hack.)
The clean solution is to install the LaTeX-package arabi to your LaTeX distribution. This is in
