I'm happy to hear you've solved your problem.
The rule is very silly, indeed!
The LoF is useful when you have a lot of figures, not on the contrary!

We still ask to provide a minimal example. It is far more easy for you
than for anyone else (downloading and experimenting with uncommon stuff)
and has to be done anyway to get to the core of the problem.

Sorry, I did "reply" instead of "reply to all":

--
The culprits are these commented lines in your uuthesis.cls:

%\newif\iflistoffigures

%\def\listoffigures{
%  \iflistoffigures
%\newpage
%\thispagestyle{empty}

%\ifnoisy \typeout{No list of figures.} \fi

If you leave out all the "%", you'll get your LoF.

However, I think you have to ask who provided you the uuthesis.cls, maybe
they have commented those lines because they don't want LoFs in that kind
of thesis.

Good luck for your graduation!

Thank you all that did it.

Funny thing is once I started uncommenting things I realized that I was the
one who commented it out several years ago when I was doing my master's
thesis. The rule is if you have more than 25 figures then there is no list
of figures which I find silly. I have more than 25 for my dissertation but
for my own personal copy I want the list. I swore I had removed the
functionality but thought I made changes in the preamble. After being
unable to fix it I figured it must be something else and emailed out. So
thanks again, it feels great to be finished!

I wish it had been that simple. I thought I had seen that package so was
excited. I was trying to avoid the minimal example since I have to use a
dropbox link because of all of the custom class and layout files. Here is a
dropbox link though with a zip file containing all the necessary stuff. You
can comment out "\listoffigures" in the ERT at the beginning of the
document and it compiles just fine but when uncommented it breaks.

Hi Aline,
Try \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{listoftables}\markboth{}{}

had the same problem once. See

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/78633
for the solution, which says

add in the preamble some of this:


%more space between figurenumber and text in toc
\usepackage{tocloft}
%\addtolength{\cftlotnumwidth}{1em}
%%\addtolength{\cftlotnumwidth}{2em}
%\addtolength{\cftlofnumwidth}{1em}

\addtolength{\cftsecnumwidth}{0.5em}
%\addtolength{\cftchapnumwidth}{1em}
\addtolength{\cftchapnumwidth}{2em}
\addtolength{\cftfignumwidth}{1em}


you might need to increase the numbers

This is pretty obscure black magic but it works. Put this in your preamble

\renewcommand*{\numberline}[1]{\hb@xt@2em{#1\hfil}}

Re: list of figures

[katbeasty]

I found the solution, in case anyone else needs it:

Add the following to the LaTex Preamble:

\usepackage{tocloft}

## adds the word Figure
\renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{Figure }

## adds white space
\renewcommand{\cftfignumwidth}{5em}


##same for tables
\renewcommand{\cfttabpresnum}{Table }
\renewcommand{\cfttabnumwidth}{5em}

You just need to put '\numberwithin{figure}{subsection}' in your
preamble and set Document->Settings->Math Options to 'Use AMS math

'equation'.

I guess you used >floats>figure and added the legend there after 
Figure#: blabla
Go with your cursor to Figure#: blabla
and select >shorttitle in the same dropdown column where you selected floats

a red framed field marked OPT opens, where you can insert your short title 
(easiest: cut and paste your legend and shorten it afterward)

Hi

Click: Insert - short title

the short title is displayed. Also works for section titles etc. and
works is both TOC and headers etc.

Found this one... (why I couldn't find this in the subfigure docs? Who 
knows, probably user-error. This time I'm printing out all 55 of the 
damn pages and will more intensively peruse them.) 

To use "short captions" for _subfigures_ in the List of Figures:

\subfigure["Here the short caption"]["Here the caption that appears 
directly under the subfigure.]{"Here the image""Here the cross-ref. 
label}

I will add this to the subfigure page in the Wiki (after Christmas, 
after the book).

All the best,

Kevin

Hi,
I would use short-titles for this. Though the name suggest its use for titles 
it also works for the captions.

At the beginning of each caption do:Insert>Short Title
It gives you an [opt] inset. Write the caption without references there and it 
will be used in the List of Figures instead of the full caption that follows.

you can use a ert to do this caption
simply put
\caption [thing to go in tof]{thing to go under figure \cite{book}}

where you want the caption to go above or below the figure

Darin,

  Insert->Short title works for chapters and sections; I believe it also
works for captions. The Users Guide is not explicit. Try it.

Maybe nothing. Does the dialog not have a choice widget allowing you to

Alternatively, is there not a Navigate menu or similar?

It is usually not a good idea to have long lines in the list of figures.
In LyX 1.3.0cvs, you can have different text in the LOF than the caption text.
To do this, go to the caption paragraph, select "Insert->Short title"
from the menu, and enter the text for the LOF.

Would it help you to have some kind of "chemical formula inset" similar to
the "math formula inset" that puts everything into \mathrm automatically?

I was thinking about such a feature a while ago...

This is because the shortcaption layout listed on the above page redefines the
caption command. Use the following in your layout file instead:

Style ShortCaption
  CopyStyle Caption
  LatexName shortcaption
  LabelString   "Short Caption:"
  LabelType Static
  Preamble
\let\oldcaption=\caption
\newcommand{\shortcaption}[1]{%
  \renewcommand{\caption}[1]{\oldcaption[#1]{##1}}%

This works! The problem is now that the shortcaptions I inserted 
with the tex command "\caption[...]{...}" disapear in the list of 
figures but appear in the cption. The list of figures consists of 
many lines just containing .. 
The captions under the figures in the document now show 
"Figure:[]."
Since I used the tex commends quite often I think I better keep on 
using the tex commands. Or is there anybody who can tell why the 
"short caption"-style is not compatible with the tex command 
"\capition[..]{..}"

Copy the file stdlayouts.inc to ~/.lyx/layouts/, and add to it
(at the end) the following lines: 

Style ShortCaption
  CopyStyle Caption
  LatexName shortcaption
  LabelString   "Short Caption:"
  LabelType Static
  Preamble
\let\oldcaption=\caption
\newcommand{\shortcaption}[1]{%
  \renewcommand{\caption}[1]{\oldcaption[#1]{##1}}%
}
  EndPreamble
End

Then, before each caption, insert a shortcaption paragraph that contains
only 'Name of the figure'.

Do both in the same shot: define in the preamble

(the \thispagestyle{plain} avoids headers on the chapter title page,

The type in TeX

This is not really a LyX bug, but rather the kind of things that
happen when using ugly workarounds like the one I suggested... What
happens is that the math editor will output pi as \(\pi\) and the
command \( is `fragile', meaning that it cannot go like that in text
which will move to table of contents or similar (for obscure and
technical reasons I do not fully understand). The solution in this
case is to add \protect just before the formula, and LyX does that in
section headers. However, in the present case, LyX has no way to know
that \pi is in a `moving' argument, and the magical \protect is not
added.

thanks very much, I'm impressed by how quickly helpful advice is given on
this list: I just wanted you all to know that it is very appreciated.

Just a quick remark, though: The advice above works fine in most cases,
but there is (I think) a lyx bug here...


If I put 

\caption[ This is $\pi$ a symbol ]{caption title}
^ ^  ^^ ^

in a standard environment inside a figure float (the ^ symbols marking
"red" Latex text), the list of figures prints out fine. However, if I
replace $\pi$ with a lyx math box, and insert the \pi as a symbol, I get
the latex error "Bad math enviroment delimiter". I presume this is
something to do with having the maths nested in the [ ] brackets. It works
fine using the lyx math editor inside the { } brackets.

For the moment, I can get by fine by using ERT to do the maths in a
caption, but maybe its an easy bug to correct...

oh - I'm using lyx 1.0.1, but I think it probably doesn't matter in this
case.

This is not possible currently... The only way is to type in a
standard paragraph
\caption[short caption]{long caption}
where \caption and the brackets are marked as TeX.
