Issue with Document Settings
I don't know whether this constitutes a bug; I suspect the fix is easy. In this window: [cid:433d4c3f-6422-49b7-abbf-67208105bf3d] No adjustments that I make to the window dimensions seem to be able to get the Scale (%) fields wide enough for me to see what is in them. I did not have this problem until today, so I have no idea what triggered it. This is version 2.4.

Master/Child/Macro/Bibliography issues with 2.4
I am having problems with LyX 2.4 that are so great that I don't even know where to begin to sort them out. I have a LyX file which contains all the math macros I use regularly. I have included (with \input) it at the very top of another document which is a LyX master document, containing only a title page, toc, lof, references to five child LyX documents (chapters. and here I used \include), and bibliography (thru natbib). I am using svmono as the class file. I used to have references to the macro file at the top of the five chapter files too, but this was apparently causing compilation problems, so I removed them. But because the child (chapter) files were referencing the master document, which still contained the macro file as a child, they could still see the macros (bravo: that is exactly how it ought to work). Yesterday, when I left school, this was working fine. I saved everything and returned this morning and now nothing is working (this is not the only problem I am having, but I can only deal with one at time). Now, when I try to compile the child documents individually they give LaTeX errors saying that the macros are not defined. But the macros still work inside of LyX—it's LaTeX (well, technically, XeTeX) that is causing the problem. If I put the references to the macro file back in the child documents, they compile individually (if I take out bibliography citations—this is one of the other problems), but then the master document will not compile. It doesn't even given an error—it just goes forever into compile mode (wheel on task bar spins indefinitely). So to recap: Macro file and chapter files included in master file with (\input and \include, respectively) -> master compiles, chapters do not, but strangely, the math macros function correctly in chapter documents even though they do not individually include the macro file. It is only when compiling that XeTeX says it cannot find the macros. Macro file included in chapter and master documents and chapters included in master -> chapters compile (with bibliography citations removed) but master will not. I guess I may as well include the bibliography problem here because it may be related. In LyX, the chapters can "see" the bibliography entries just by referencing the master document if there is a \printbibliography command somewhere in the master. I can see all the included entries when adding a citation and select what I want, just as it should work. But when I compile the chapters individually, I get "citation undefined" errors in spite of this. Compiling the master (if I remove the macro references from the chapters) works fine. I have to believe that I should be able to include references to macros and bibliography in the master only and still be able to compile the chapters individually, especially since that functionality exists inside of LyX. Only when trying to compile do problems come up. And I could have sworn all this was working yesterday, so I am at a loss as to what happened. How is this supposed to work? One last thing. Yesterday, I had the bibliography settings as Style Format -> Biblatex (natbib mode) and Processor -> default and it was compiling. First thing today, having changed nothing, I got biber errors. I assumed that biber was the default processor and changed it to bibtex. Now it works. But I had previously used the aforementioned settings religiously without error. Thanks!

Keyboard shortcut binding issues
Hello! I just upgraded to 2.4, something I have been looking forward to doing for quite a while. I am having a minor problem that may be a bug. I had added quite a few additional keyboard shortcuts which LyX stored in a user.bind file in the bind subdirectory of the user directory. The old version of LyX apparently knew about this file and the default cua file simultaneously. In the new version, it appears to be one or the other. When the bind file is set to cua (as it was in 2.3.7) none of the new shortcuts work. But here's the kicker: those new shortcuts are visible under Preferences -> Editing -> Shortcuts. So LyX seems to see the file, it just does not allow me to use those shortcuts when the bind file is set to cua. If I change it to user, which I did not need to do before, the new shortcuts work, but none of the default ones—like copy and paste—do. I can probably merge the two files into the user.bind file as a workaround, but is this a bug or is there something I am forgetting to do? Thanks!

search math macros
I've been using LyX for a number of years. Because I was reusing a lot of math macros, I started putting them in a separate file and loading that file at the beginning of each document with an input statement. Over time, the list has grown and I wanted to search for a macro to see how I had defined it (probably because I had since found a better way). But no configuration in Advanced Search that I have tried will allow me to search math macros. Am I missing something or is this a feature that might be added in the future? Thanks!

Have LyX load fontspec automatically with no-math option
Hello! Is there a way to get LyX to load fontspec with the no-math option from within LyX. I know that it loads fontspec automatically when I check the Use non-TeX fonts box in Document Settings -> Fonts and that is what I want. But I want to handle math entirely separately. I have found a workaround by putting the commands in the preamble, but that causes other problems because load order is important.

Custom> Insets> Structure Tree fails to convert to PDF
Dear lyxers, a few days ago I reported this problem: I am writing a linguistic document using Miede's classicthesis-LyX2.3-v4.6 in openSuse Leap 15; Qt Version 5.9.4 Adding Linguistic Trees fails e. g. as shown in the attachment. I get tons of Error messages of the kind: Package xcolor Error: undefined color 'Maroon' and 'RoyalBlue' / 'Black' / 'CTlink' Description: \definecolor{CTurl}{named}{Maroon} PDF output is possible but not usable because somewhat incomplete and without colors. Some list members came up with proposals and good advice (sorry for misplacing your names). However, when nothing at all worked I deleted my installed Classicthesis and then downloaded and installed Classicthesis-LyX2.3-v4.6 completely new. Then I added a simple linguistic tree trusting that everything would be ok now. But nothing had changed - I got exactly the same errors as above reported. Meanwhile I had invested almost one week on trying to solve the problem and decided to return to my Mageia6 which I had left because it up to now provides the older version classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_bibtex8 only. However, it now strikes my mind that Mageia's developers may have their good reasons?! Thank you once more for trying to help and cheers! Michael Berger

However, the resulting printout looks different: left 31,0 mm right 45,5 mm text width 133,3 mm I tried different types of PDF converters but get the same wrong result. And two entirely different printers produce same wrong printouts. If I remember correctly this did not happen in Mageia 6 using Miede's older version of classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2! Can somebody help explaning/solving this mystery!? Thanks and best Michael Berger

Is is not a matter of learning, Of course it is. it is our mind functioning that swaps letter positions or doubles next letters while quickly writing text lines Typing isn't an inborn skill; it is something that one learns. Learning to type a word and learning not to mistype it are the same thing. Restoring the correct letters order for each word quickly would be a great favour to a number of long paper writers. In the case of a long paper, as opposed to a set of papers, the facility that you request doesn't offer much that global find-and-replace doesn't already do. In either case, you are talking about working from an assembled list of corrections. (Recall that your original request involved a list assembled by the user of corrections to make.)
7zip file archiver in Mageia 6
Dear Lyxers, Using Mageia 6 KDE and trying to get familiar with the p7zip compression program. I find p7zip, version 16.02 installed, just this single file, no GUI.

KMM 5.0.0 in Magaia 6
Hello Thomas, I am very sorry for my below repeated premature statement re KMM 5.0.0 After digging deeper I must now advise Mageia 6 users to be extremely cautious when trying KMM 5.0.0. I continue using it for my everyday work while avoiding the dangerous parts/commands of it. Thomas, as I am rather busy right now I will report my findings to you in a couple of days. Again, very sorry for being too hasty, Michael - Hello Thomas, I upgraded KMM to version 5.0.0 and I am back in business after having to do some minor corrections re foreign currency exchange rates. My base currency is the EURO. Currencies like the Swiss Franc and others showed correct exchange rates that did not need any adjustment. But the exchange rates of currencies with an extrem splay like the € to IDR (1€ ~ 16 500 IDR) returned large crazy figures that made no sense at all. But then it was easy to make the necessary corrections in KMM's Price Editor. I increased the default precision setting to eight digits, e.g. 1 IDR equals 0,6001 €. The Price Editor is now back to presenting the online quotes as before - special thanks for this great add-in feature! Should I come across some other imperfections I will report them to you (but so far it doesn't look like). I am using Mageia 6 Thanks again for the great program and best regards, Michael

Re: Seperate Page for the Document Title and Abstract
Hello Aaron, I feel this is your first document produced with LyX and thus would recommend you to first of all try a template that is not too complicated yet *providing a rich set of predefined standards* (which I feel you may need), e. g. KOMA-Script Article or KOMA.Script Report. File > New > Document > Settings > Document Class and then select either one of the two above KOMA-Script Classes from the list. In LyX open the Standard drop-down menu (top left) and see if the predefined settings shown in the drop-down list do suit your needs.

No. You need to tell LyX (in the preferences) where you want the pipes to be, and then LyX will create the pipes when it starts. You also need to tell JabRef where the pipes are. LyX needs to know where to read data from; JabRef needs to know where to write it to. You can use ~/.lyx/.lyxpipe if you like, which I guess counts as a default, or you can put the pipe elsewhere.

Thinking I could use some sections from this document in one I'm currently writing (using the KOMA report class), I highlighted two sections in the older document and pasted them in the new one.

Trying to view the dvips output still produced the same warning/error box. So does compiling the document using pdflatex. Cannot find anything relevant in the new document's .lyx file either so I have no idea how to create a MWE.

no PDF when using classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_biber / ..._biblatex_bibtex8
Dear Lyxers, my Linguistic Thesis at first written in classicthesis-LyX-v4.1 converts to PDF in both versions of classicthesis-LyX-v4.2 but only after having removed all letters used to typeset African Languages as shown in Table 7 of the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List by Scott Pakin. While my Thesis successfully handles the languages Turkish, Indonesian, Serbo-Croatian and Tamil it fails compilation to PDF as long as any of the two African languages Asante-Twi and/or Limbum remains present. This was tried with classicthesis-LyX-v4.2 and using two different systems namely openSUSE Leap 14.2 and Mageia 6 - both do show the same behavior. The package fc is in place with all its elements (fclfont.sty, fcuse.sty, t4cmr.fd, t4cmss.fd, fclfont.sty_old, t4cmtt.fd, t4enc.def, t4fcr.fd and t4phonet.sty). \usepackage[T4]{fontenc} is present in the preamble. Using other document classes e. g. Koma-Script do compile without problems as long as \usepackage[T4]{fontenc} is part of the preamble. Am I doing something wrong or could it be that classicthesis-LyX-v4.2 is not yet fit? Any help or comment is highly appreciated. Thanks and cheers! Michael

Re: classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex_biber
Hi Jürgen, hi Philip, in openSUSE Leap 42.2 I've tried countless times to produce PDF outputs with both, classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-biber and classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-bibtex8 but always ended up in endless loops. After two weeks I tried openSUSE Leap 42.2 once more last night (out of desperation and frustration) and to my surprise both, biblatex-biber and biblatex-bibtex8, generated perfect PDF outputs - and very quickly. In Documents > Settings > Bibliography > Bibliography Generation > Processor it offers * Default * biber ! * bibtex * bibtex8 while in Mageia6 'biber' is still missing. So, looks like one must wait till "biber" is made available in Mageia6 and working. Thanks a lot for your continuous support, and cheers!

Dear all, I am now using Mageia 6, Kernel 4.9.35-desktop-1.mga6 / 64-bit / KDE My many LyX documents of various classes produced in Mageia 5 generated PDF without any problems. In Mageia 6 all other document classes do so as before but my "ClassicThesis.lyx" documents throw out error messages. I then tried Miede's original forms (nothing was added, edited or changed) and again no PDF was generated instead the following errors were reported: classicthesis-LyX-v4.1 Latex Error: \bflabel undefined Latex Error: File 'beramono.sty' not found classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_biber Latex Error: File 'beramono.sty' not found classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_bibtex8 Latex Error: File 'beramono.sty' not found What could be the problem here?

problems using LyX 2.1 documents in LyX 2,2.1
Dear all, I have quite a number / variety of documents (domain linguistic and engineering) created with LyX 2.1 and Mageia5 / KDE. It may take some time till Mageia comes along with newer versions of LyX, Latex (this is by no means a negative statement; Mageia is just late but great!) and I decided to use and develop my existing documents in openSUSE Leap 4.2.2, KDE. I now have: LyX 2.2.1-2.9 / Kbibtex 0.6-2.6 / the modules csquotes, fixme, todonotes and LaTeX are stamped 2015.104 Transformation of most of my old documents went seamless while some needed minor adjustments that I could do myself as somebody without any programming knowledge. However, my theses made with Lyx 2.1 / classicthesis-v4.1 and now used with LyX 2.2.1 / classicthesis-v4.2 refuse to export to PDF. They start an endless loop. In the Lyx Documents I cannot see anything nothing wrong; trees in ERT, glosses are there, though the latter look somewhat different. I get no error messages at all. This behavior is identical of both, classicthesis-LyX-v4.2-biblatex_biber and classicthesis-LyX-v4.2-biblatex_bibtex8 I started several attempts to copy the contents of the old child documents into the new child documents but this is slave work and I came to conclude that I might as well rewrite the whole thing from scratch and let everything be as is until Mageia is up to higher versions. But the big question remains whether or not problems like this will then be gone!? After all, is it not Miede's classicthesis that ought to be accordingly adjusted to work with latest versions of LyX and LateX? Any comment is highly appreciated, ideally would be a recipe for making my old classicthesis files work with classicthesis-v4.2 and compile in Lyx 2.2.x :-D Cheers and thanks for your continuing support, Michael

For user colleagues concerned I am citing the most relevant declaratives: * the numbers (of footnotes) are consecutive; whether the footnotes are reset for every chapter depends on the document class (they are in classicthesis) * footnotes in tables are not printed by Latex due to technical reasons; but there is a method to print them: instead of the footnote the command \footnotemark{} is inserted as Tex code and the text of the footnote is entered as an argument of the Tex code command \footnotetext{put footnote text here} * footnotes in a minipage box are printed but inside the box and with a different numbering (in classicthesis the numbers are replaced by letters a, b, c) because a minipage box is like a page inside a page; to get a footnote that is output at the bottom of the page (like a normal footnote) use above method of \footnotemark{} and _outside_ the minipage \footnotetext{} * if in Box Settings the Inner Box is changed from 'Minibox' to 'Parebox' the footnotes will be moved from inside the box to the bottom of the page and the numbering will be consecutive as normal Michael

I prefer to have *all* footnotes numbered and put at the end of the page - never inside a box. These two footnotes were there already in the text and numbered and they were put at the end of the page. Then I selected that part of the text as a box, the footnotes moved from the end of the page inside the box and had their numbers replaced by letters. So, I take it this is sort of an automatism. Anyway, I can now use the code found in your link to reverse this automatism. Thanks and regards, Michael

For Mathematical Operators, wrapping in a math-inset is a correct workaround/solution. For Dingbats or other text symbols this would be suboptimal (works but not "clean" because math-mode is for mathematical content). When using a math-inset, you can also use the LaTeX command instead of searching the symbol in "Special Character". (You find the name e.g. in the Source Preview Pane). LyX will show the symbols (for most supported mathematical symbols, at least) in the GUI and "do the right thing" on LaTeX export. Günter Ah Günter, your above explanations are highly interesting! Thanks. Michael

Günter Hallo Günter, thanks for trying to help. My original document is based on classicthesis.lyx v4.2 (biblatex_biber). However, as I am almost certain that classicthesis is NOT the culprit (and also for simplicity reasons) I attach two mini examples using the document class KOMA Script Article. Evidently there seems to be an incompatibility with utf8 because the problem vanishes when replacing it with another encoding. I tried a number of other language encodings in my original document but was always rewarded serious errors. My document is rather voluminous and filled with linguistic elements. It appears also that the problem applies to the whole category of symbols, meaning that none symbol of e.g. the same category 'Mathematical Operators' compiles. I also tried another five or six categories and all behaved equally bad. Anyway, if you should need a mini file derived from my original document, please let me know.

Nomenclature in TOC different/unexpected in LyX2.1/CLT4.1 vs Lyx2,2.2/CLT4.2
Dear List, The screenshot shows my code in Lyx 2.1/Classicthesis4.1; in the table of contents it produces exactly what is desired: Nomenclature and Glossary 142 The same codeentered in Lyx 2.2.2/Classicthesis4.2(biblatex_biber) produces in the table of content: Nomenclature and Glossary 37 Nomenclature and Glossary 39 (the document is double-sided) Here, if I replace 'Nomenclature and Glossary' by 'Nomenclature' in the second code line I get: Nomenclature 37 Nomenclature and Glossary 39 Page 37 has some text from the preceding section but absolutely nothing else. Page 38 is the back of page 37 and hence is completely empty. So, it looks as if the word 'Nomenclature' is just showing in the TOC without effecting the rest of the PDf document in . Needless to say that I have been playing around a lot but could not get rid of that "undesired" and IMHO useless extra TOC entry. Any comment? Is this a Lyx issue? Thanks and cheers, Michael

Now that you name it I remember to have used 'refpage' in earlier works but as an excuse you may accept that I wasn't aware then of its purpose. Using the line you suggested combined with a setting of 'custom 3,3 cm' produces the snapshot.

Re: Where to insert section labels?
On 10/04/2016 06:40 PM, racoon wrote: I used to insert section labels right after the heading: 1. Some heading[sec:Some-heading] This is actually how it is done in the User Guide as well. However, this produces the following source: \section{Some heading\label{sec:Some-heading}} But it actually leads to problems when I tried to have uppercase section headings with: \usepackage{sectsty} \sectionfont{\MakeUppercase} I guess the error occurs for the same reason as \MakeUppercase{\label{sec:Some-heading}} generates an error. So I looked around and saw that often the label is inserted *after* the section: \section{Some heading}\label{sec:Some-heading} But I am not sure how to achieve this with LyX. So instead I did this: 1. Some heading [sec:Some-heading] Where the label is just inserted in an extra default paragraph. Apart from looking a bit odd, it seems to work and not to create extra spacing or so. So is this the "saver" way to insert section labels in LyX? Daniel Hi Daniel, I am not quite sure what you mean. But this is how I insert a section: I type : 'New Section' as a name With the cursor somewhere inside/before/behind that name I select: 'Section' And I get: '3.8 Section Extra' in the appropriate format Selecting 'Section*' would do the same without numbering Michael
