if you are not stuck to Bibdesk, you might want to take JabRef into
consideration, which makes those things fairly easy.

If your document language is german, it should be in german automatically.
I would recommand using Jurabib, but thats probably depending on our subject and
what your bibliography has to look like.

For Jurabib with Lyx have a look here:

have a look into the manual, section 6.5 should explain it for you.

Yes I did, after deselecting it, the problem disappeared.

another scrolling bug?

2008-12-15 Thread PeerLynt
Dear list,

I don't think the following scrolling behaviour is intended, nor did I find an 
existing bug report:

1. Select some text
2. Scroll up- or downwards (doesn't matter) so that the selected text is no in 
the visible window anymore
3. The Cursor will jump to the second line of the screen
4. The selected text is unselected now

I am using LyX 1.6.1 on Windows Vista

Re: Evaluation of the 1.6 development cycle

2008-12-10 Thread peerlynt

The new features are a great improvement and make my everyday life certainly
easier, so I definetly like that and would like to thank you for it. I also
appreciate the way issues raised by users are handled, which James has pointed
out already.

As I am not part of the development it seems to be somewhat difficult to
evaluate what could be improved. Well its just impression I got, which might be
due to the distance wrong: The first Release Candidate appeared to be somewhat
rushed, and plattform specific bugs seem to get different attention, which is
understandable.

there are a few ways described here:

I myself, normally use a regular footnote, which refers to the prior footnote.

re: Change names of TOC? Bibliography?

yes

use this \renewcommand*{\bibname}{List of References}

>What's the difference between this and using the following ERT TEX code?

if you just care for the bib to show up in the TOC, its the same; if you are 
depending on other things like hyperref it will lead to different outcomes

>With the hyperref package, the bibliography is hyperlinked to the TOC entry, 
>but if I use the "bookmarks" menu on the left in Acrobat, clicking on

it should work, either you check your preferences or you could workaround with 
setting up a hypertarget around your bibliography like this:

\hypertarget{YOURLABELNAME}{}
\pdfbookmark[0]{Bookmarkname}{YOURLABELNAME}

but then you will probably have to replace your bibtotoc option with KOMA by 
the addcontentsline command

Re: Undefined Control Error with Windows Install

Do you habe hyperref loaded in the preamble? And are you using an updated 
version of MiKteX? I had a similar message a few weeks ago, which turned out to 
be due do hyperref. The solution was loading hyperref from the pdf section in 
the document setting and using the current version of hyperref.
