That's true for most OS X users, but not all. If you want to use multi-platform programs, you have to put up with a certain amount of non-Mac behavior. (As do Windows and Linux users, when using programs primarily written to run on a different system.) I'm just glad that LyX is available on OS X,

Happy New Year to you too. Glad you were able to find the LyX example files you were looking for. Spotlight doesn't index inside application bundles, so the Finder search behavior you describe is normal on OS X. Users normally wouldn't need to be searching inside bundles; the situation with the Ly

I'm not quite ready to upgrade to Mavericks, but this technique is so fundamental to how OS X has worked since the very beginning I can't see Apple removing it. My search also came up empty on your issue. Try this instead: Open a Finder window, pull down the 'Go' menu and choose the 'Go to Folder

That's a stumper - an empty app would have nothing to run. If LyX actually runs, then the app can't possibly be empty. In OS X, the Finder presents an app as a single file, but it's actually an application bundle that contains the executable and other resources (in the case of LyX the other resour

I am new to LyX and cannot find the sample files described in the Tutorial.pdf: Finally, we have written a file called example_raw.lyx to let you practice your LYX skills. Imagine that it was typed by someone who did not know about any of LYX’s great features. As you learn new LYX functions,
