User dictionary / spellchecker native / MaxOS Sierra / Lyx 2.2
Hi, I use Lyx 2-2 on macOS Sierra with the native spell checker. I would like to share my modifications to the user dictionary on different machines. Is there a way to transfer the user dictionary? If not, is it possible if I use Aspell or Hunspell in the future? Thanks a lot, Ralf
Re: Lyx 2.0 can\\\'t read Lyx 1.6.x documents
It's the Win32 version running on XP SP3. Is it somehow possible to see the contents of the PATH variable while LyX is running (e.g. by executing additional commands like 'echo $PATH') in the debug console?

Re: Lyx 2.0 can\'t read Lyx 1.6.x documents
My bad, didn't notice the option to enable verbose output.

Since nobody has mentioned it ... scientific works mostly include a lot of figures - I am finished now with my thesis but I struggled immensely with the amount of large figures I had which messed up most of the layout - I practivally needed to fix every position of the figures (lots of ERTs). The requirement that the figures should be as close as possible to the first reference did not help as you can imagine. At times I was so frustrated I glanced at Word which makes this indeed easier. In fact I think I will use Word for future work - the amount of time is just not worth the superior look of Latex (however only text/math and a small number of figures is a totally different story). Moreover, scientific journal publishers mostly only except Word files ... So, how about a section giving tips on how to (strategically & technically) proceed with large figures (typically exceeding the page borders but still A4) with the requirement that they should appear close the first reference ...

whitespaces visible
Hi all, is there an option to make whitespaces visible in the Lyx GUI? You know, similar as to 'show hidden text' in Word? Reason for this: often I overlook that there is a whitespace missing before and after citations and references. Cheers -Ralf

Off Topic: Database for citations?
Hi all, just wondering - instead of searching zillions of library pages to find the correct citation (downloadable in BibTex, Endnote, whatever...), there sure must be a webpage just dedicated to this sort of stuff ... something like 'http://adsabs.harvard.edu/' only larger ... couldn't find it however. Any hints? Cheers -Ralf

The starred form tries to squeeze the material together on the page as much as

Hi Adrián,
I'd do it with wrapfigure:
In the menu, go to [Insert]-[Float]-[Figure Wrap Float]

above or below the figure...
The settings of Wrap (right click opens the menu) lets you place the figure on
the left or the right. Note that wrapfigure places the figure where you put it

Offset:
What do you mean with 'Title'? If you mean Caption, then I cannot help you, but
if you are thinking about Figure and the main text then you can do it with an
ugly hack:
\vspace{-0.5cm} for example lets the vertical offset shrink for half a
centimeter. But I'm sure there are much more elegant ways to do it...I just
don't know them...You would include the ugly hack with: [Insert]-[Tex
Code]-\vspace{-0.5cm}
p.s. the help files in Lyx has something to say about this all as well, so check
it out
Hope this helps

About Lyx Error Messages
Dear Gurus, sometimes even in Lyx you do something wrong and you get an error message. Most of the time they are not very usefull - they simply indicate that something went wrong with a short excerpt of what caused the trouble - the excerpt however is not enough (for me at least) to find out what exactly went wrong and how to fix it. You always have to go bug-hunting... Maybe that is by choice of design to let the user chase it, but if TeXnicCenter can do it, I dare to say, Lyx can (should?) do it. TeXnicCenter let's you browse through the errors and puts you to the right place, which is very very helpfull. Is something like this planned in a future release or maybe it is already there and I just missed it? How do you people solve things like this? Cheers -Ralf
Export to Latex
Hi there, me again - somehow related to my previous post but this can be a separate question: when I export to plain Latex (when Bug-hunting) the exportation takes ages...okay I got a lot of high resolution PNGs in there - so I put all pictures in Draft mode...alas, this did not help and it seems Lyx still converts everything to EPS (?). Is there a way to export only the text,not the pictures...? Cheers -Ralf

Do you know how to set the offset between the figure and the title?
Hi Adrián,
I'd do it with wrapfigure:
In the menu, go to [Insert]-[Float]-[Figure Wrap Float]
and then you do the usual like in any figure float - you can place the caption
above or below the figure...
