After you have installed LyX on the new machine and verified it is running, you can copy the preferences file and the user.bind file in the bind subfolder. Also, you should check the templates and layouts subfolders under Application Support/LyX-2.3 and copy any custom templates, layouts and/or modules you might have. As always, if something with the same name already exists on the new machine it would safest to change the name of the file on the new machine before copying over the files from the old machine, just in case you need to undo things.

Is enumitem compatible with Beamer? The Beamer layout forbids the
enumitem module.
Also, to correct myself, it was Günter Milde that wrote the enumitem module.

Compared to the inset method I've been using I find it a bit inefficient, but maybe I need to learn some keyboard shortcuts to help with that. One thing I'm having trouble with is inserting a beamer frame into a sequence of existing frames. I have frame 1, a frame separator, and then frame 2. If I try to put the cursor at the end of the separator, and then switch to "frame" from pulldown, this will not insert a frame, but seems to modify frame 2 (the cursor is placed in the title of frame 2). The only way I could get a frame inserted is to first in "standard" mode type some random characters, and then I could switch to "frame" to get a new frame inserted. What am I missing? Thanks, Neal There are multiple ways to insert a frame. One is to put the cursor at the end of the contents of frame 1 (/not/ the separator line) and click Insert > Separated Frame Below. With my setup, the keyboard shortcut is Alt+P Return, but your mileage may vary. You can also start from frame 2 and use Insert > Separated Frame Above. A while back, I added a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Return) mapped to the command "call newframe". That also works like a charm.

Second, does the "unwanted formatting" refer to {\large\par}? If so, we
would need a minimal example. It would need to be a self-contained
document (your previous MWE had include commands for child documents not
attached to the message), preferably with as little customization as
possible. Every package you add, font or language change you make, etc.
makes it a bit less likely that someone on the list has all the packages
necessary to compile your MWE.
If by "unwanted formatting" you mean that you really want the LaTeX
commands entered in the order you used in your ERT, I doubt that is
possible without resorting to ERT.
Paul
As I suspected, the issue is that the text you are formatting occurs at
the very end of a paragraph. The following is a bit "hacky" but solves
the problem. First, add a space after the end of the text. Then select
the text (excluding that extra space) and make the style change. The
trailing space on the first line is harmless, but feel free to delete it
if you wish.

That last {\large\par} may have something to do with how you

document, I did not encounter that. Comparing your ERT version with
the customized style version, I can confirm the difference in the
LaTeX commands but see no difference in the output. Is there a
reason why you are unhappy with what LyX enters?
Paul
First, please bottom post.
Second, does the "unwanted formatting" refer to {\large\par}? If so, we
would need a minimal example. It would need to be a self-contained
document (your previous MWE had include commands for child documents not
attached to the message), preferably with as little customization as
possible. Every package you add, font or language change you make, etc.
makes it a bit less likely that someone on the list has all the packages
necessary to compile your MWE.
If by "unwanted formatting" you mean that you really want the LaTeX
commands entered in the order you used in your ERT, I doubt that is
possible without resorting to ERT.

Caption: My Caption
Label: First Program
More Parameters: numbers=left, frame=tb, caption=b, float
It sort of works but I need assistance.
The caption I have set above does not appear on the bottom as
"caption=b" would suggest.
The label I have set above does not appear anywhere.
I would like the text of the inserted program to have "typewriter"
font and be colored green. How do I do this.
Am I on the right track, is the above the correct way of doing what I
want?
Thank you,
Joe Hesse
Your method of inserting the code is correct. To address your specific
concerns:
* putting the caption on the bottom requires the key/value pair
"caption/pos/=b";
* the label is not supposed to appear anywhere; it is used for
cross-referencing the code elsewhere in the document;
* the key/value pair to use the typewriter font family and color the
code olive ("green" would be too hard to read, I think) would be
"basicstyle={\color{olive}\ttfamily}".
You may need to load the xcolor package (or some alternative) explicitly
in the preamble, if your LyX document does not already use colors elsewhere.
HTH,
Paul

Re: Slow LyX File - DVI-to-PDF Converter - Clip to Coordinates
On 12/23/21 5:48 AM, Baris Erkus via lyx-users wrote: I am experiencing a slowdown on a LyX document. I am suspecting that this is related to the "Clip to Coordinates" in the Graphics option, which calls the DVI-to-PDF Converter (in Windows) at the backstage constantly. When "Clip to Coordinates" option of any figure is selected, LyX constantly executing DVI-to-PDF Converter using command-line window even if you are not working on that specific figure (ie writing regular text at somewhere else), and even if that specific figure is not on the screen. Furthermore, I realized that even if I uncheck the "Clip to Coordinates" option and click the "Apply" and "Close", the LaTeX code preview at the includegraphics command still shows the viewport option, but without the ",clip". So, normally, it should completely remove the viewport option and get the values from the file, am I right? Since the viewport options stays, LyX is calling the DVI-to-PDF converter, which again causes slowdown. Unchecking the option and then pressing the "Get from file" solves the problem tough. This is very un-intuitional. I feel like something fishy is going on here. I have attached a MWE. My OS is Windows 10, MikTeX is the latest version and LyX is 2.3.6.1.

This with an error message about spam and DMARC that I am not sure to understand. As I do not understand why Valdemaras is our only user who freaks out yahoo. So we can try to tweak again and better the list, but no promises. And if there is a specialist of mailman reading this, hints will be welcome. JMarc Thanks JMarc. That sheds some light. It is quite curious that the change affects different recipients in different ways, even when we use the same mail client (though perhaps not with the same email provider).
