Replied thus:
Thank you Kornel.
The problem is solved, and it was my error. I changed the graphic I was
using, and changed its name.
The error message was too short, to point out that the graphic by the
previous name could not be found, because the name had been changed.
I had checked the path was correct. The graphic no longer existed.
Sorry for the noise.
Thank you for your time, test and reply,

Replied thus:
Thank you el, for that suggestion.
The solution was as Chris suggested:
\ThisCenterWallPaper{1}{path_to_wallpaper} in an ERT. I didn't
have the "This" in my ERT and therefore it produced the
wallpaper on every page of the document. Not a bad thing, but
in certain documents, just to have it on the first page was
desirable.

Replied thus:
Thanks Chris,
That has done it. Great.
I always use \thispagestyle{empty} in the first page.
I attempted to use \ThisCenterWallPaper{.43}{path_to_wallpaper}
However, I must have done something wrong, because it didn't work. I
tried so many things, in the end. I might have put that in the preamble
instead of ERT. I don't know?
Thank you, it works a treat. You are the man.

Wallpaper on first page only........
Hello Everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has a way of creating a
wallpaper image on the first page of a document only?
I use ERT: \CenterWallPaper{.53}{graphic desired}
However, it places the image on every page of the document. Usually use
it that way, but in some instances it would more desirable on only the
first page.
Have tried various methods found on the NET to have it only on the
first page. No joy unfortunately.
TIA,

Replied thus:
Thank you Paul,
Under:
"Cursor, mouse and editing functions" I find:
quote-insert "
quote-insert inner Alt+"
quote-insert outer auto plain Ctrl+"
Lyx certainly doesn't obey these.
Don't know how to modify the latter one to just have ["] as the first.
I may have to delete the key to make that work, but am unsure if it
hits the fan that I can get it back, or if it will obey that shortcut
as it doesn't the first one?
Thank you for pointing me to this. Have never had cause to look there.

Maybe the important word is "compile". If so please ignore this, because it is just noise. At the risk of bringing the devil to the door: I have used LyX for so many years with so many Debian versions, Buster and Bullseye at the moment, many before that. Have to admit that it has always installed successfully from the Debian repository, each time. Never had to do anything special with QT. Always worked straight up, and with a little tweaking of paths, locked into all LyX documents of which there are thousands. on a new internal, or external hard drive.

When using LyX previously when "Crtl + S" or "Ctrl + Shift + S" to save a file was invoked. It supplied, on the toolbar across the top of the window that popped up, a small box that said "Template". That doesn't appear any more. I am unable to find how I might place it back by looking through "Preferences". Cannot identify what I must enable to return it to that place. So thought I may get a hint here. Maybe it has been removed forever. To know that would also be helpful. Allowing me to cease looking for it whenever a new thought in the attempt to find it occurs.

Re: Would LyX be a lot more popular if it were marketed as a note taking app?

I think LyX is marketed correctly as a document creator. If you have time and are so inclined, you can create any kind or sort of document with LyX. Save the template for future use and there it is, almost magic next time. If needing anything at all, a few tweaks. Many people say they just don't have time or can't be bothered to muck about, or reinvent the wheel, trying to get some things to work with LyX. Better, easier, faster to use another program that someone else has had time to muck about with to get working. I think that's true. But most document types, which are not very extensive, that I require, can be or have been created with LyX by someone else or myself, and tweaked as needed for each purpose. Very often and graciously helped by those on this mailing list.

I just use Ctrl + Shift + N and it opens my custom templates directory, I click on the one I want and it opens.

Clicking on either list view or detail view once or twice just brings it or from one to another. Right clicking on the directory doesn't allow me to do anything. Clicking on list vies does show **two** columns in the window. However, the individual, single files are the first, at the top, instead of under the directories. Which have always been on the top. The detail view delivers a single column, the individual files are still shown at the top instead of below the directories. Ce la vie. I think I will just have to live with it.

Weird directory, different order of templates...
Hello Everyone, In my templates directory when opened with a file manager, my directories have always been and still are on top, and below them the various individual files in that directory. That has always been in LyX as well. Suddenly, the opposite is true in LyX, my directories are at the bottom of the directory I open, and the individual files are at the top, so I have to scroll down to get to the directories. I imagine I have probably used a some obscure keyboard shortcut to have this happen, but I have trolled through these and am unable to find the one that does this. If that is actually the cause. Would appreciate any advice. TIA Charlie -- Registered Linux User:- 329524 *** The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is "look under foot."

Sorry, forgot to time it but it was downloaded fairly quickly. Due to our isolated area am on satellite internet which is pretend broadband. Downloaded from Australia from home. Speeds were from a start of 1.4 MB, sped up and toward the end of the download reached 2.7 MB, but mainly around the 1.6 - 1.8 MB speed. Tried it again after a few minutes to time it. Only allowed a few minutes to do that and the speed never reached higher than 746 KB so killed it. Hope that helps.

It is long indeed, but it works. Though I'm not canvassing for it, just
suits my needs, and thought it might solve your problem.
As an aside, using all the other options provided in this thread. The
link break doesn't honour my 346pt text width requirement in one of my
KOMA-Script Article document needs. It breaks, but well into the right
margin.
Interesting. I reckon.
Thank you,
Charlie

Picked up somewhere, from the net or maybe here on this list, years ago,
and used constantly in the preamble of any document constructed with
LyX, is this:
\renewcommand{\UrlBreaks}{\do\/\do\a\do\b\do\c\do\d\do\e\do\f\do\g\do\h\do\i\do\j\do\k\do\l\do\m\do\n\do\o\do\p\do\q\do\r\do\s\do\t\do\u\do\v\do\w\do\x\do\y\do\z\do\A\do\B\do\C\do\D\do\E\do\F\do\G\do\H\do\I\do\J\do\K\do\L\do\M\do\N\do\O\do\P\do\Q\do\R\do\S\do\T\do\U\do\V\do\W\do\X\do\Y\do\Z}
Can that be shortened and still work. No idea, but it has done the job
for may years and in many different document classes
It may help you. It may even have someone who understands it find a
shorter way to use it, or another command that will do the same thing?
Happy new year, if you go in for such a thing.

Not a biggie Just a thought about the scrollbar on the right and side of the document window. It doesn't show till I hit F7 to spellcheck the document, or not, because that brings up the scrollbar. This has been the case for months, and because I knew that work around used it, thinking that at some point it would be corrected? Stretch is not that far from stable and still doesn't work on my system. Possibly a new default? Just wondered?

Done. I also sent the .pdf as created by the LyX converter on my Debian stretch system [as above] because on your system it also might be seen as a sample.bin rather than a sample.pdf?

I can just highlight text in a LyX document. Just pressing, at the same time, left and right mouse buttons, can paste into xterm. Something that does happen on a couple of blog sites, is, if directly copying from text from LyX, causes it all to be seen as a hyperlink? No biggie though. Just copy it into a text editor and paste from there. Don't know if that helps.

Unable to open file........
Hello All, I have obviously made an error creating this file in 2007 and now I'm unable to open it. This message in Lyx: /home/charlie/lyx/rec-reserve/letters/shire/07-08-shire-funding.lyx is not a readable LyX document In a text editor the message is: The file /home/charlie/shire/07-08-shire-funding.lyx||07-08-shire-funding.lyx was opened with UTF-8 encoding but contained invalid characters. It is set to read-only mode, as saving might destroy its content. Either reopen the file with the correct encoding chosen or enable the read-write mode again in the tools menu to be able to edit it.

I attempted several encodings with the text editor but no joy. The numbers changed a little bit but not a great deal. Just a question here. One of the reasons use LyX is because I thought any LyX file could be opened in a text editor and the contents rescued? Now I wonder? I assume that I will lose some file and their content anyway? It doesn't matter if no one can help me with the problem. However, I would like to know if I will lose old LyX files, be unable to open them as time goes on and LyX evolves?

I just placed the sizes into the Height and Width locations as they are presented. See attached. This is obviously wrong. Are you suggesting that height actually means width and vise versa?

Wow!
I just checked the document and it was 17.78 cm height and 22.86 cm
wide. Not the other way round.
But you reckon it was 22.86 cm hight and 17.78 wide which would be
portrait? That's weird.
Maybe others might quickly look at that document and inform me that
they see what you see as well. That would mean my system LyX is really
wrong and it may have to be purged and reinstalled?
I did specify landscape, but I suppose you saw that when you looked in
the Document->settings->Page format->orientation
Well there you go. I wouldn't use adobe acrobat reader fortunately. But
I might test it with that on a friends machine.
Thanks for your input.
Stay well,

Sorry there is no minimum full page graphics in fact.
PDF (graphics) -> EPS = pdftops
PDF (pdflatex) -> PDF (cropped) = pdfcrop
PDF (pdflatex) -> PDF (lower resolution) = python
PDF (postscript) -> postscript = pdftops
And more of the same.
No matter. I can work round it, I just thought there might be a better
easier way.
It works the way I described and might help others if they are having
problems.
Thanks at any rate.

Landscape document..........
From my keyboard:
Using Debian testing [stretch]
LyX Version 2.2.0
Qt Version (run-time): 4.8.7
Qt Version (compile-time): 4.8.7
Trying to write a document in landscape mode, but when I convert it to
a .pdf file with Okular.
It presents with portrait and runs off the right of the page. Even if I
specify the custom height and width of the pages.
To rule out Okular I have created the file as landscape in LibreOffice
and it showed up as predicted with Okular. Tried both with evince. Lyx
file showed in portrait mode .pdf in both. The LibreOffice showed as
landscape as it should.
To make it work in Lyx had to place: \usepackage{pdflscape} in the
preamble and [ERT in document] \begin{landscape} and \end{landscape} at
the end.
Can someone tell me the right way to do this?
Thank you.

Very old, because I read it on the internet years ago as the way to do

So still use it in the Latex preamble of on some document templates.
Works for me. There may be a better way of course? I just don't know it.

I see that if I highlight the word I want to remove, I get a different dialogue. But accept or reject change isn't what I want. I would like "keep added word in dictionary" or "remove added word in dictionary" or something to that effect? I want to remove a word I placed into the dictionary a couple of hours ago. I went to /usr/share/hunspell/ to the dictionaries there, but that appears to be the list of words used, not the added words.

Thanks Paul. I didn't think of that because when I typed into an email or text editor, which I tried, they all typed as normal, no delay. So I imagined it wasn't a system problem in that it affected typing, delay time to keyboard the CPU working too hard, as such. I also have a monitor on the desktop right from boot up, that shows me that and more But will try that next time it occurs, just to see anyway.

On another laptop, using this version of Debian testing and LyX, I expanded the TeX files I required a couple of days ago, Monday, and it didn't show the slowing behaviour either? It's not a big deal. Be well, Charlie -- Registered Linux User:- 329524 *** Men are born to succeed, not to fail. Henry David Thoreau *** Debian GNU/Linux - Magic indeed. -

Not certain this is the answer because I haven't tried it. But in ERT:
\begin{fullwidth}
And between these two ERT commands place your full page float
\end{fullwidth}
Maybe that will work?

Answering my own question;
Found out how to use landscape in certain sections:
using ERT in Latex Preamble \usepackage{lscape}
Then in the document \begin{landscape} where required and
\end{landscape} where finished.

Tufte book/handout question.......
From my keyboard: I received a copy of a book of poetry recently and the page format appeared to be a Tufte book or handout layout in landscape? If it wasn't a Tufte layout then it was another layout in which sidenotes were possible? I'm not familiar with latex so it may have been a layout crafted through that discipline. I just thought I would put it out there to see if anyone knew how to create a Tufte layout in landscape. Reading the Tufte information it seems that landscape is not supported.

Where you see “Sender name” in the Koma letter template place your graphic, or your other entry and then move your graphic accordingly, maybe using Ctrl+space as often as you require. In the footer you may have to do much the same. I see you have had some good advice from Jean-Marie on your request last time. Prior to using the Koma-Script letter template, I rolled my own letter template with a plain Koma-Script article page and just placed all the elements where I wanted much like suggested above for placing the graphics.

Thank you Jürgen,
It works a treat just as you say. I didn't think to look at the

I started the box off as a double frame box.

single frame. Not realising that double frame is a box within a box.

Thank you Jean-Marie,
The first example you pointed me to on page 178 works, and I was working
on tweaking it, and then I saw you had sent this email, which works
perfectly.
I feel like such an idiot. My only excuse is that I had looked on the
net and through other documentation that I didn't fine that reference
in the scrguien.pdf.
It's not unusual for me to go the hard way first.
I did look through the scrguien.pdf that you have directed me to in the
past and I've got in my LyX information file, but maybe I was already
overloaded with footnote information? I really have no excuse.
Anyway, as ever, and as previously thank you for your help and taking
the time to create the result. It's much appreciated and works
a treat.
Thank you once again.
Stay well,
Charlie

Thanks Ross.
I have the header covered and the rest of the text doesn't do anything,
though left the text in the \lfoot and added text into the \cfoot and
the \rfoot.
There was no output at all.
I think that would work in an article template but not in the letter
one. I actually tried several variations of this and came up blank or
received error messages from some attempts.
Thank you.

Footer in Koma letter - \lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot
In: Debian Jessie using: Lyx Version 2.0.6 I wanted to put a horizontal line and beneath it a custom footer, that has the three elements: \lfoot - \cfoot - \rfoot So that I can place three different names and address details onto the first page of the document. I have googled and I have read custom header and footer documents as well as .pdf files that tell me a great deal about headers and footers and even used a footer file that was from the wrong KOMA script or something and was chastised for attempting to use it by LyX. Looked through my DIN.lco and every place possible where tweak might be made. I never realised there were so many LaTeX sites that had something about footnotes on them. After futie attempts have had a million error messages and openings that conflicted when I used "fancy" instead of default, and on and on. Tried longtable and multirow, footnotesize and just about everything that was suggested in all my readings with different parameters and I have given it best. So I am here again. The one thing I haven't done, is create my own template to do what I want rather than use the letter template. In the past I used a template I made myself, but it was just created from a KOMA article template, and I think when I discovered the letter template I liked it better? But can only imagine that's why I changed. Why else? Anyway it's done my head in, and I realise it's laziness in a way because eventually, maybe a year from now I'll read something that puts it all together and I'll be able to do it. Or maybe never and accept living without it. But if someone can help me in this it would be truly great. It's just stubbornness that makes me want to use the template like this, and a certain amount of ire that I can't find where this type of footnote for a letter, is documented.

Help, How do I remove this annoying dialogue box on the bottom of the LyX window. I hit some keys badly and I don't know which keys they are and this dialogue box came up and made the window look untidy. How can I remove it please. Thank you, Charlie

In case it assists anyone else in the future.
I couldn't get the \nextfoot variable to work Jean, because I didn't
know how to write it, so probably wrote it wrong.
But this works a treat placed at the bottom of the preamble to drop the
page number down a bit, or a lot in my case.
\setlength{\footskip}{4cm}
That can be be "pts" as well instead of "cm" or "mm"
Hope that helps someone else.
Thanks again Jean.
Be well,

Apologies. I was in a bit of a rush and sent the wrong file in the last

It gives me an opportunity to add something at any rate.
Hoping someone can help me with this.

At the moment the text ends about 75mm from the bottom of the page and

Also, to get my page number on the second page lower to the bottom of
the page, at the moment it is about 50mm from the bottom. I think this

6 DIN.lco file:
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/koma-script/DIN.lco
Read section 4.2 Pseudo-Lengths (page 135). With my words:
All these pseudo-lengths have a default value. If you want to change
this default value and make it completly different you use \@setplength.
If you want to slightly modify it, you use \@addtoplength.

\@setplength{sigindent}{0mm}
will place the box containing the signature on the left side but this is
already defined in the DIN.lco
It's probably worthwhile to make your own version of the DIN.lco that
you are using. Copy it under a new name (myDIN.lco f.ex.) in the
directory where you have your lyx letters and modify it as you wish:
Instead of using
\@addtoplength{firstheadvpos}{1cm}
after calling the original DIN.lco where this plength is set, you can
replace inside your new lco the
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{8mm}
by
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{18mm}
Don't forget to call your lco file in the preamble:
\LoadLetterOption{myDIN}%
To place the signature inside the closing box on the left you have to
change in your lco file
\let\raggedsignature=\centering
to
\let\raggedsignature=\raggedright

[UPDATE] Hi Rich, I had a closer look now. I'm on a Mac but this shouldn't make a difference. At first some facts about the feature: * It's not possible to use Aspells own "private word list". Aspell has no interface for removing a word from it's list. So LyX doesn't add any word to Aspells "private word list" but to a self maintained list. * LyX maintains separate lists per language. * These lists are stored as text files in the user directory, one file per language. * The list for a given language is read on the first attempt of spell check. * The list is modified in memory and saved to disk on exit of LyX. * The list is shared by all open documents. This said I have to admit - I cannot reproduce your problem. One thing I can imagine to create problems is having multiple instances of LyX open. Stephan Possibly not in Mac, but in Debian Jessie and the same was the case in wheezy, aspell has a list of users words added in the /home/user directory. Being only an English language user, I don't have a list of "private" words or user added words text list in /home/.lyx, so maybe it differs in Debian?

Your explanation and guidance has been extremely helpful Jean-Marie.
I took your advice and tweaked the DIN.lco file and placed it in my
templates directory and added the absolute path to it in my preamble.
Again, thank you for your time and this enormous assistance.
Be well,
Charlie

Thank you Jean-Marie,
You have helped me once again. I have two copies of the scrguien.pdf
and I use the latest. Read it, but obviously I don't know how to
use it. How to put the commands together in some instances.
I read this: sigbeforevskip vertical skip between closing and signature
(section 6.6.1, page 207)
But didn't really understand it.
Even tried working with this:
\setkomavar{signature}{John McEnvy\\{\small (Vice-President ‘‘The Other
Society’’)}}
\closing{Regards\\(for the board of directors)}
But couldn't put it together to rectify my problem, then searched the
net again and couldn't come up with the right answer.
Thank you again, because you have solved my problem once more, and you
will know it's much appreciated.
Be well,
Charlie

letter (KOMA-Script v.2) Space between closing and signature...........
I'm having a problem with the space between Closing and Signature in:
letter (KOMA-Script v.2)
using LyX version 2.0.3 Debian Wheezy.
I need more space to apply my hand written signature.
The document class doesn't honour vertical space after Closing.
It doesn't honour vertical space before Signature.
I have been googling this through Latex and LyX and nothing is either
working or making any sense when I read the text?
My preamble looks like this:
%% Load an *.lco style file (see KOMA documentation)
%%\LoadLetterOption{DIN}%
% vertical position of the address field
\@addtoplength{toaddrvpos}{1cm}
% space between ref line and letter text
\@setplength{refaftervskip}{5mm}
% position from top of page of Sender Name thanks to: Jean-Marie Pacquet
\@addtoplength{firstheadvpos}{1cm}
\@addtoplength{firstfootvpos}{-1cm}
%% THE CLASS OPTIONS
%% Remove preceeding '%' to uncomment an item
\KOMAoptions{%
%%,headsepline=false%separate the header with a line on
page >1
%,footsepline=true% separate the footer with a line on page >1
%pagenumber=botcenter% position of the page number (see docu)
%,parskip=false% Use indent instead of skip (more options cf.
docu)
,fromalign=center%alignment of the address
,fromrule=aftername%separate the address with a line?
%,fromphone=true% print sender phone number
%,fromfax=true% print sender fax number
,fromemail=true% print sender e-mail address
%%,fromurl=true% print sender URL
%,fromlogo=true% print a logo (position depends on fromalign)
%,addrfield=false%print an address field?
%,backaddress=false% print the back address?
%,subject=afteropening,titled% alternative subject layout and position
%,locfield=narrow% width of the (extra) location field
,foldmarks=false% print foldmarks?
%,numericaldate=true% date layout
%,refline=wide% layout of the refline
}
%% Customize Separators
%\setkomavar{placeseparator}{ -- }
\setkomavar{backaddressseparator}{ $\cdot$ }
%\setkomavar{emailseparator}{ --> }
%\setkomavar{enclseparator}{ > }
%\setkomavar{faxseparator}{ --> }
%\setkomavar{phoneseparator}{ --> }
%\setkomavar{subjectseparator}{ >>> }
%% Customize fonts
%% Use LaTeX's standard font commands
%% Modify with \setkomafont or \addtokomafont
%% (see KOMA documentation)
\setkomafont{backaddress}{\rmfamily}
%\setkomafont{descriptionlabel}{}
\setkomafont{fromaddress}{\small}
\setkomafont{fromname}{\scshape}
%\setkomafont{pagefoot}{}
%\setkomafont{pagehead}{}
%\setkomafont{pagenumber}{}
%\setkomafont{subject}{}
%\setkomafont{title}{}
\usepackage[bottom=-3.5cm, textwidth=360pt]{geometry}
So have to come back to the list for this.
Can someone tell me how this is done.
Thank you,
Charlie
