1.5b2 on Mac - problems
The 1.5b2 mac build has a few annoying problems 1. As reported earlier, the double-click to open does not work. This didn¹t work for the 1.5b1 build either, as I recall. 2. The apple-T keystroke previously generated a pdf file via pdflatex. Now this is bound to pst2pdf, which doesn¹t even launch a pdf viewer after compiling. I prefered the pdflatex binding. Is this a user-configurable thing, or is it compiled in? 3. spell checking doesn¹t function properly. If I choose ³reconfigure² then the spell checker works, but after I close and reopen Lyx, it is broken once again. 4. Copy/paste from Lyx to another app doesn¹t work. This also was a problem in previous distributions. Best wishes, James

It's something you can change, but it's a bit tedious. Look at Help Customization, §3.3 on Bindings. The standard .bind file for Mac is mac.bind, which is located inside the LyX.app application bundle: LyX.app/Contents/Resources/bind. Copy that to ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5svn/bind, rename it to something unique (myMac.bind, e.g.), and then edit away. (You'll have to quit LyX and restart for modifications to that file to be recognized.) Note also that when the official release of LyX/Mac-1.5 comes out, the LyX user's directory will be ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5. 3. spell checking doesn’t function properly. If I choose “reconfigure” then the spell checker works, but after I close and reopen Lyx, it is broken once again. Can you provide more details? (I can't confirm a problem here.) 4. Copy/paste from Lyx to another app doesn’t work. This also was a problem in previous distributions. Again, can you provide details? Is it *all* other applications that give you this problem -- including TextEdit.app, say -- or only some, such as MS Word? Thanks. Bennett
Re: 1.5b2 on Mac - problems
See comments below. James 3. spell checking doesn¹t function properly. If I choose ³reconfigure² then the spell checker works, but after I close and reopen Lyx, it is broken once again. Can you provide more details? (I can't confirm a problem here.) I downloaded and unzipped the Lyx 1.5b2 from the ftp site. I then ran the program. When I ran spell check (via the gui button), I got the following message: The spellchecker could not be started LyX: Failed to start ispell! If I then choose Lyx-Reconfigure I can run spell check successfully. However, if I restart lyx, I have the same problem again. It seems that the reconfigure magic isn't sticking. 4. Copy/paste from Lyx to another app doesn¹t work. This also was a problem in previous distributions. Again, can you provide details? Is it *all* other applications that give you this problem -- including TextEdit.app, say -- or only some, such as MS Word? It seems that I cannot even copy/past from one Lyx doc to another. I can only copy/past within a single Lyx doc. Note that I can copy from an external app and paste into a Lyx doc, but I cannot copy from a Lyx doc and paste anywhere except in that same Lyx doc. I have tried pasting into MS Word, a terminal, my mail client, other Lyx docs, etc. Thanks. Bennett

No problem with ispell spellchecker. I can copy/paste to and from LyX to LyX, LyX to textedit, LyX to Pages, LyX to Mail, LyX to Terminal. However, I cannot copy from LyX to MS apps. Only copy/paste from MS apps to LyX. Bob Lounsbury copy/paste from LyX --> BBEdit also doesn't work but from BBEdit --> LyX it is OK. pdv

However, pasting from LyX to TextEdit, e.g., should work; if that doesn't, then we need to investigate further. Thanks for the reports. Bennett
