Maybe there is a Problem with 'ø' in your user's name?

This sounds like registry corruption.

Send me a password privately, and I can register you. We had to disable 
that due to a flood of bots.

Problem with LyX installation on Windows 11

to have found a LaTeX installation at the following location:

However, this is incorrect. The correct path should be:

Lyx 2.4.1 on Windows 11 doesn't find python

2024-07-25 Thread Torquil Macdonald Sørensen
Hi!

I previously used Lyx 2.3.7, which worked fine. After uninstalling
that and installing 2.4.1, it doesn't work anymore. I have tried both
the options "For everyone" and "Only for me" in the Lyx installer.

The Python directory should be correctly included in the system PATH,
because I can run python from the command prompt without problems, as
you can see here:
$ C:\Users\TorquilSørensen\AppData\Local\Programs\LyX 2.4\bin>python
Python 3.11.1 (tags/v3.11.1:a7a450f, Dec  6 2022, 19:58:39) [MSC
v.1934 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> exit()

However, when I run Lyx within the same command prompt, I'm getting
the following:

C:\Users\TorquilSørensen\AppData\Local\Programs\LyX 2.4\bin>Error

LyX 2.4.1 just entered backports, so if you are on debian bookworm
derivative you should be able to upgrade. In case it's needed some
instructions are at https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnDebian .

Dear Hung-Tzu,

Thanks for the files. I can confirm that I observe hangs when
scrolling with LyX 2.4.1 and that the performance is much much better
with current 2.4.2~devel.

What's the latest "stable" version of LyX? I just discovered my LyX is
2.3.6.1 from 12/29/2020. What am I missing with my version? It seems OK
to me, and it's what my distro gives me.


LyX 2.4.0 was released in early June (and 2.4.1 in early July). It has 
boatloads of new features:


    https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX24

It can be downloaded from lyx.org.

Since you are on Linux, it is easy to compile yourself, and even to 
install it in parallel to 2.3.6.1. (By default, the self-compiled 
version installs to /usr/local/, and this can be configured. You can 
also use e.g. --program-suffix=2.4 to have the binary be "lyx-2.4", and 
not just "lyx".) Just use a separate user directory with 2.4 (use the 
-userdir option when launching). 2.4.x can read older files, and export 
to 2.3.x format, but we do not recommend trying to move back and forth 
with a single file. The kind of 'round trip' does not always work well 
(depending upon how many of the new features you have used).


If you decide to switch to 2.4.x, then of course you don't have to worry 
about the separate user directory, etc.

Dear Paul,

Good news: this will be fixed in LyX 2.4.2. In the meantime, you can

Dear Jean-Marc and Richard,

Thanks a lot for your effort. The freeze disappears after unchecking the
word count and character count option in the status bar.

Best,
Hung-Tzu

P.S. Is this an issue that the word/character count function blocks the
main thread?

Running under a profiler reveals that the problem is related to the

So the good news is that these "hang" events should disappear if you

into LyX. LibreOffice uses the libwpd library that, it seems, offer 
support for such an old format:


https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/DLP/Libraries#Import_Libraries
https://libwpd.sourceforge.net/features.html


Or open in LibreOffice and export as LaTeX.

There is also this:

https://ctan.org/pkg/wp2latex

I used it to convert quite a lot some years ago.

None of these are flawless. It depends a lot on the complexity of the 
document.

I think it would not be hard to compile itself, rather to get all the
dependencies for ARM64. Like netbpm, unoconv, rsvg-convert and all the
runtime dll files which are delivered with lyx.
To cross compile there is just a workload in Visual Studio for cross
compiling to ARM64 Windows, doesn't seem too hard tbh.

The Windows ARM support in Qt (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/windows.html) is

With upcoming Qt 6.8, Windows on ARM will one of the standard desktop

Don't know, I don't have an ARM machine here to try. But if all would go
well, then it would be native ARM on Windows of course.

I must say I'm surprised, but that's great! If I remember correctly, the
kudos should go to pandoc, which LyX simply calls to convert to LaTeX
(and then LyX does the subsequent conversion from LaTeX to LyX format).

Le 13/07/2024 à 15:17, Hung-Tzu Chang a écrit :

Dear Jean-Marc,

There are a few entries with about 10 authors or so. If this counts as 
large then maybe this is the case. The interesting thing is that the 
freeze when scrolling through the list of potential citation entries 
occurs mostly (if not always) when the \cite command is clicked for the 
first time, while the freeze with clicking the "Cancel" button happens 
irrespective of whether the \cite command is clicked before or not. This 
phenomenon also happens exclusively for 2.4 series. I have not 
experienced this in version 2.3.7.


The example of "large" that we had was 1000+ authors, and it caused a 
crash of the whole session for the reporter.


To see whether 10 authors is large, could you try to remove those 
particular entries from the bibtex file and see whether this helps?


P.S. One more thing that I just noticed. The freeze of the main window 
does not occur exclusively for scrolling. It can also be triggered when 
clicking an item on the menu bar (e.g. File). The drop-down menu would 
freeze for a few seconds and go back to normal. Whether the main 
window/menu freeze or the freeze of the citation window occurs depends 
on the file (complexity). For a small/simple file (~700 words) with the 
same bibtex library (and some cited references with many authors) these 
do not happen.


Is it a file that you can share with me? You can try to anonymize it using
  Command-x buffer-anonymize

Hope this helps,
Jean-Marc

The thing here is that starting from version 6.5 Qt "supports" dark theme
by following your system theme and starting from version 6.7 Qt even uses
the ui style "windows11" by default which (also) has a dark theme. So you
end up with that style and dark theme if your system is set to dark. You
can avoid it by choosing a different ui style, which does not have a dark
theme, in the preferences -> user interface -> user interface style. The
only style *without* dark theme is "windowsvista" though, it was the
default style on Windows in Qt versions pre 6.7. I usually compile with the
newest Qt version for Windows, so LyX 2.4.0 and newer uses Qt version 6.7
and newer so that is why you get the dark theme now.

2024-07-10 Thread M. Luque
In any case, I would recommend exporting the document periodically to plain
LaTeX to have a backup in case something goes wrong in any version of LyX.

That is the one you want. Is "Use System Colors" checked?

If so, I would suggest trying with a new user directory. You can move 
your existing one. (Location at About> LyX.)

I think so, but even if technically possible I wouldn't recommend it.
Longer explanation: 2.3.8 has code ("lyx2lyx") to convert 2.4.x files
back into 2.3.x file format. So yes, you should be able to open them,
and please let us know if there is any problem if you do so because that
could be a bug. That said, if you continually change between 2.4.x and
2.3.8, you'll be doing a lot of conversions, and there's a good chance
something could go wrong. My recommendation would be to just use 2.3.8
and wait until you (and your coauthors) are ready to upgrade everything
to 2.4.x.

I tried to reverse the colors. One can use the general settings to 
change the colors, but it took me to long, so I keep the default values.


You can change the color of the text and the background, but get 
problems with rest like marks, inserts and so on. Sometimes those 
"extras" are barely readable on a bright background.

LyX 2.4.1 Released

2024-07-04 Thread Richard Kimberly Heck

We are proud to announce the release LyX 2.4.1, the first maintenance
release in the 2.4.x series.

We have fixed a number of bugs in this version. Most of these are minor,
but there was one crash when deleting rows or columns from a table that has
been fixed. There have also been some improvements to tab management. See
the complete list of updates and improvements below for more.

You can download LyX 2.4.1 from https://www.lyx.org/Download.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you
will find at https://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX 
users'

list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org). Bugs can be reported on our bug tracker
(https://www.lyx.org/trac/) or by writing the developers' list (lyx-devel at
lists.lyx.org).

The LyX team.
https://www.lyx.org

This file describes what has been done in the preparation of LyX 2.4.1.
All comments are welcome.

Thanks, this was helpful. This is a small glitch which will be fixed
(again, only in LyX 2.4.2).

In the meantime, you can either ignore the error or, to get rid of it,
uncheck "use non-TeX fonts" in the MacrosStandard.lyx file, then set
the encoding to "Unicode (utf8)" rather than "Traditional (auto-
selected)" (as advised in my first mail), then check use-non-tex fonts
again.

The problem here is that LyX checks for the encoding also in the
XeTeX/LuaTeX case where it actually shouldn't (since these file are
always utf8 in the output).

A word of explanation: all .lyx files are encoded in utf8. The encoding 
you can chose is the one of the generated LaTeX file. When using a child 
document, the master and the child should use the same encoding.

* Open the Document Settings dialog
* Go to the "Language" section of the dialog
* In Encoding > Type, select "Unicode (utf8)" rather than "Traditional
(auto-selected)"

Note, though, that if you have other files which include this document,
and these file have traditional encoding, you will now get a warning
with those to the opposite direction.

An alternative fix (which would avoid the latter) would be to set the
Encoding of your master file from "Unicode (utf8)" to "Traditional
(auto-selected)". Or if you want to have both options, store a copy of
the MacrosStandard.lyx file with utf8 encoding under a different name.

chime in with ideas).

This is puzzling. The code that triggers this dialog is _in_ the
document settings dialog.

But I think I understand now that this can be accessed even if the
dialog is not open. I will push what I think is a fix, but as LyX 2.4.1
has already been built, this will make its debut only in LyX 2.4.2.

Meanwhile, if you can come up with a somewhat reliable recipe to
reproduce this behavior, this would be highly helpful (as I cannot
reproduce it myself).

Are you talking about math preview?  This has been broken for me for some
time (before 2.4 and still there) and I just turned math preview off.  You
say "works with xelatex" and not with lualatex.  How are you switching
between the for math preview?

It returns nothing, but that is what I expected.  2.3.7 compiled the 
Customization document just fine and I have not uninstalled anything since I 
installed 2.4.  Evidently, suffix.sty is part of the Bigfoot package.  I 
installed it and everything is fine again.  Did the documentation in 
Customization change such that a package is required now that was not required 
before?

I observed this on the Qt new "windows11" style, which unfortunately seems
to be default on Windows (at least on Windows 11). Try changing to "fusion"

This seems to be an upstream bug with this style which is fixed in Qt
6.7.2 and 6.8.0ff:

Hello!

I just opened Help -> Customization and attempted to compile and it says I am 
missing suffix.sty.  Is this a bug or am I missing something in my 
installation?  I did not uninstall 2.3.7 before installing 2.4, so I worry that 
there may be some residuals from the previous installation that may cause 
problems.

Thank you,

What you're asking about, I think, is what Qt calls a 'tooltip'.

In LyX 2.4.1, there will be a tooltip for cross-references:

https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8856

It will show the cross-reference number (e.g., 1.1) or, in the case of 
formatted references, the format string (e.g., section 1.1). Note that 
there is also now an option to show formatted references in the work 
area. This is under Document> Settings> Document Class.

Cross-reference previews in LyX workspace

Is there a way to have small preview snippets pop up when hovering over a 
cross-reference in LyX workspace? LyX has this for citations but not for other 
types of references, as far as I can see.

I mean something along the lines of the now-unmaintained fancy-preview package
http://user.mendelu.cz/marik/fancy-preview/#presentations
Several pdf viewers also have this capability, such as Skim and Texshop viewer.

One possibility would be to find your user directory (it is indicated in the

\draw_strategy backingstore and then restart LyX. Does it work?

Hung-Tsu, do you have a document that you could share with me for testing?

Even better, do you know how to use a profiler like Instruments to see 
where the time is spent? I did all the testing on Linux, and there is a 
possibility that caching of glyphs behave differently on macOS.


Do you have math previews enabled? Does it make a difference if you

Hi Robert,

I’ve just tried that with LyX 2.4.0 and it works on my system. I’m on macOS 
10.14.6 (Mojave). I’m using a fresh copy of LyX 2.4.0 to the /Applications 
folder.

Did you put your version of LyX into the default /Applications folder too? If 
not you have to fiddle with the settings for the path to LyX in Skim and you 
can’t get it work for more then one LyX install simultaneously.

Best regards,
Stephan

It seems to me LyX should not favor one distribution over another if  there is 
only cursory and occasional information about using them with LyX. I do not 
wish to complain in a similar fashion about TeXLive, but one may easily find 
problems with TeXLive on Windows; see e.g. 
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2024-May/thread.html. Twice in one month! So 
perhaps it is best to maintain a neutral view on LyX's website.

I've done the same thing multiple times before. This happens to me when
downloading .cls files for me. Sometimes my automatic wget download
"succeeds" but it ends up being an html message that tells me the file
doesn't exist.

They are much smaller. On some files they render OK. Incidentally I am

This one is known, and we do not have yet a solution. A workaround is to

Lyx 2.4.0 producing performing inconsistently on Mac OSX

2024-06-02 Thread Robert Betz

I have Mac OSX 14.5. I have the latest version of MacTex installed.

I have tried Lyx 2.4.0 RCx a couple of times but gave up because 
somethings were not working correctly. I was hoping that the release 
version would have some of the issues solved, but alas is did not. The 
issues I have come across are:


(1) I have Lyx files that are fine under 2.3.7/8 and will not compile 
under V2.4.0.  I get strange errors from the Tex compilation related to 
font issues and the compilation aborts with an overflow of memory. This 
does not occur on all files, but only on some.


(2) The reverse search from the Skim previewer does not work on V2.4.0 
(at all as far as I can see).  The forward search from Lyx to Skim does 
work.


(3) There is inconsistency on rendering the maths equations in the Lyx 
interface -- sometimes they will not render at all and stay in the blue 
editing mode colout, sometimes they will render to the black mode, but 
the size is not the same as the size of the fonts set in the interface. 
They are much smaller. On some files they render OK. Incidentally I am 
using the Euclid font as the font in the interface.


(4) The positioning of display equations in the Lyx interface is to the 
left. The equation label font is very big and pushes the equations to 
the left.


V2.3.8 has none of the above issues, therefore the Mac environment 
appears to be OK.


Thanks.

Looks like a known issue 
(https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/1489) with, apparently, a 
known workaround (at least for some people).


It's because of this sort of problem, which seems to arise constantly, 
that we stopped recommending MiKTeX.

LyX 2.4 & MikTeX problem

2024-06-01 Thread Bernt Lie via lyx-users
I just installed LyX 2.4.0 on my computer, and it worked.



Then I thought I should update MikTeX... Last time was in April 2024; there 
were a number of updates.



At the end of the update, I was told that the MikTeX console needed to close 
down.



When I tried to re-start it, I get this error message:

I'm then trying to *re-install* MikTeX, but am told I cannot do that in the

Re: LyX 2.4.0 Released!

2024-06-01 Thread Christopher Menzel
I compiled 2.4.0 on Kali LInux 2024.2 with Qt6 (in a Parallels VM), no issues. 
Under MacOS I renamed RC4 just in case and then just copied 2.4.0 into the 
Applications folder as usual. Again, smooth sailing.

I can’t begin to express my gratitude to the LyX developers for this fabulous 
program. It’s been my constant companion for over 15 years now! :-)

Thank you for releasing this amazing piece of software!

However, I am running into an annoying bug in Lyx 2.4 on OS X 14.4.1 (I
cannot post to the bug tracker due to lack of privileges). The cmd+e
command no longer works to turn emphasis on/off.  cmd+b (bold) and cmd+u
(underline) still work as expected.

This is with the LyX-2.4.0+qt5-x86_64-arm64-cocoa binary, freshly
downloaded.

LyX 2.4.0 Released!

2024-05-31 Thread Richard Kimberly Heck

Public release of LyX version 2.4.0
===

We are proud to announce the release of the new LyX 2.4 series.

After long 6 years of development the 2.4 series has a rich set
of new features compared to the current stable series.
An overview of the new features can be found here:

  https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX24

As this release ships with new features, we strongly recommend that 
packagers

of LyX on various platforms and distributions read RELEASE-NOTES in order to
get the new dependencies right.

You can download LyX 2.4.0 from https://www.lyx.org/Download

We hope you will enjoy the result!

If a file from an earlier version of LyX is opened *and saved* with
any version of 2.4.x, then the original file will automatically be
backed up. The backup file will be found in the backup directory, if one
is set under Tools> Preferences> Paths, or else in the same folder as
the original file, if no backup directory is set. The filename of the
backup file will be:
    ORIGNAME-lyxformat-NUM.lyx~
where NUM is the LyX format number of the original file. In the case of
2.3.x file, this will be 544, but in the case of older files it will be
different.

The file RELEASE-NOTES also lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 2.3.x).

As with any major release, this one comes with a lot of new features but
also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.4.0, either
email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
or open a bug report at https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome .
Please specify if the behavior you are reporting is different from behavior
in a previous LyX version.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you
will find at https://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX 
users'

list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

The LyX team.
