I've also got LyX2.1 on  64 bit Windows 7, and Adobe Reader X, and the
copy and paste works without problems, so this looks like a problem at
your end rather than with LyX.

Also for copying vector images? metafile2eps.exe is not used for bitmap
images or text. You can easily see whether a vector imagtes was copied by
looking at the type of the copied image: If it is eps, the original image
was in vector format, and metafile2eps.exe worked.

I was hasty in my response. In Adobe Reader X, under the Edit menu, 
there's the option Take a Snapshot. I assume this is the embedded tool 
referred to. When I copy a figure from the pdf and then go to paste it 
into LyX I get asked first to save the file, always as an .emf file 
although that can be changed to .png if I wish. The first one I paste 
into LyX reproduces the copied figure. Copying and pasting other figures 
(after saving in .emf format) generally insert into LyX  figures that 
are about 25 times too big. I have to scale to about 4% for the Adobe 
-- LyX -- Adobe round trip to reproduce a figure about the size of the 
original. But this doesn't happen always and seems to depend on whether 
I've saved a file at some point as .png (which seems to paste at the 
right size). So, it works for a one-off, but clearly not flawlessly for 
a number of copy-pastes.

Importing tables to Lyx?

Is there any tool which allows imports of boxes/tables (from say doc/odt

Bug

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I could propably report as a bug, but let me do it that way.
In versin 2.1.0 on
Linux 3.14.3-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 6 19:00:18 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 
x86_64 GNU/Linux
Every time that I have an opne document and that I want to open a new
one (open recent). I get an error:
SIGSEGV signal caught!
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX, hope you have not lost any data.

The document is fine. I can open it straightforward. Then if I try to
open the previous document (while the other one is open), then again, I got the 
error.

Regards.

Odd, I can't reproduce that here.  My linux version is a bit different:

but when I have a document open in LyX 2.1.0 and then open a new one 
from recent documents, it works correctly.  I wonder whether it is a bug 
in LyX, or elsewhere.  Are these particularly large or complicated 
documents?  Do you have the same problem no matter which documents you 
have open and opening?

Bug in the Math UI

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all,

I am on Ubuntu 12.02 with Lyx 2.1.0. I wanted to make set the binomial
coefficient for a binomial distribution, so I did as I alway did, i.e.,
insert the parenthesis in my equation and a size 2 column vector in the
parenthesis. To my surprise the vector is not centered on the parenthesis,
but on the top element. Is doesn't mater if the vector is of even or odd
size; the vector is being setup from the top element to the bottom one.
This way the parenthesis are bigger than usual and the top part of their
space is empty.

I don't know if I was completely clear, so I have attached a couple of
PNG's of the UI and a PDF showing this behavior. Again, I stress that this
exactly the same way I have doing it for years, so this issue is related to
the UI. Is there some new way of doing it on Lyx which I am not aware of?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Bug in the Math UI

[Julio Rojas]

I have checked the source for my snippet compared to one of the old
fashioned that I had:

\begin{align*}

P(X\leq150)  =\left(\begin{array}{c}

n\\

k

\end{array}\right)\\

P(X\leq150)  =\left(\begin{array}[t]{c}

n\\

k

\end{array}\right)
\end{align*}

As you can see, there is [t] in the array that is generating the problem,
i.e., the array was top aligned. Are matrices in Lyx 2.1.0 set up by
default on top alignment instead of middle aligment? I don't really
remember changing this aligment.

Sorry for the false report. Regards.

I was going to respond to this part anyway.  For binomial coefficients, 
use (gee) \binom  instead.  The parentheses are tighter around the 
numbers, and it looks more like a binomial coefficient. Easier as well.

there's the option Take a Snapshot. I assume this is the "embedded tool" 
referred to. When I copy a figure from the pdf and then go to paste it 
into LyX I get asked first to save the file, always as an .emf file 
although that can be changed to .png if I wish. The first one I paste 
into LyX reproduces the copied figure. Copying and pasting other figures 
(after saving in .emf format) generally insert into LyX  figures that 
are about 25 times too big. I have to scale to about 4% for the Adobe 
--> LyX --> Adobe round trip to reproduce a figure about the size of the 
original. But this doesn't happen always and seems to depend on whether 
I've saved a file at some point as .png (which seems to paste at the 
right size). So, it works for a one-off, but clearly not flawlessly for 
a number of copy-pastes.

Importing tables to Lyx?

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

Is there any tool which allows imports of boxes/tables (from say doc/odt
files) to Lyx? The filters for Abiword often don't work. FN

Bug

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I could propably report as a bug, but let me do it that way.
In versin 2.1.0 on
Linux 3.14.3-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 6 19:00:18 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 
x86_64 GNU/Linux
Every time that I have an opne document and that I want to open a new
one (open recent). I get an error:
SIGSEGV signal caught!
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX, hope you have not lost any data.

The document is fine. I can open it straightforward. Then if I try to
open the previous document (while the other one is open), then again, I got the 
error.

Regards.

Odd, I can't reproduce that here.  My linux version is a bit different:

Linux  3.13-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.13.10-1 (2014-04-15) x86_64 GNU/Linux

but when I have a document open in LyX 2.1.0 and then open a new one 
from recent documents, it works correctly.  I wonder whether it is a bug 
in LyX, or elsewhere.  Are these particularly large or complicated 
documents?  Do you have the same problem no matter which documents you 
have open and opening?

If you run LyX from a terminal, do you get any more information?

Strange. We need somebody to debug LyX on windows.

Bug in the Math UI

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all,

I am on Ubuntu 12.02 with Lyx 2.1.0. I wanted to make set the binomial
coefficient for a binomial distribution, so I did as I alway did, i.e.,
insert the parenthesis in my equation and a size 2 column vector in the
parenthesis. To my surprise the vector is not centered on the parenthesis,
but on the top element. Is doesn't mater if the vector is of even or odd
size; the vector is being setup from the top element to the bottom one.
This way the parenthesis are bigger than usual and the top part of their
space is empty.

I don't know if I was completely clear, so I have attached a couple of
PNG's of the UI and a PDF showing this behavior. Again, I stress that this
exactly the same way I have doing it for years, so this issue is related to
the UI. Is there some new way of doing it on Lyx which I am not aware of?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Bug in the Math UI

[Julio Rojas]

I have checked the source for my snippet compared to one of the "old
fashioned" that I had:

\begin{align*}

P(X\leq150) & =\left(\begin{array}{c}

n\\

k

\end{array}\right)\\

P(X\leq150) & =\left(\begin{array}[t]{c}

n\\

k

\end{array}\right)
\end{align*}

As you can see, there is "[t]" in the array that is generating the problem,
i.e., the array was top aligned. Are matrices in Lyx 2.1.0 set up by
default on top alignment instead of middle aligment? I don't really
remember changing this aligment.

Sorry for the false report. Regards.

The popup window does seem to come up with top-alignment as the 
default.  Middle would be better, I think.

I was going to respond to this part anyway.  For binomial coefficients, 
use (gee) \binom  instead.  The parentheses are tighter around the 
numbers, and it looks more like a binomial coefficient. Easier as well.

Hi,

Today I try again... And every thing works correctly... I can't reproduce the 
error.

Thanks for your answers (sorry for waste of time)

I was hasty in my response. In Adobe Reader X, under the Edit menu, 
there's the option Take a Snapshot. I assume this is the "embedded tool" 
referred to. When I copy a figure from the pdf and then go to paste it 
into LyX I get asked first to save the file, always as an .emf file 
although that can be changed to .png if I wish. The first one I paste 
into LyX reproduces the copied figure. Copying and pasting other figures 
(after saving in .emf format) generally insert into LyX  figures that 
are about 25 times too big. I have to scale to about 4% for the Adobe 
--> LyX --> Adobe round trip to reproduce a figure about the size of the
