Thanks. The attached patch fixes these cases for me. However, I'm not sure about side effects. Some rationale: 1.) we put everything into ERT that is in a command, notwithstanding if it is possible in a command or not. In the testcase, a modifier letter was inserted, which breaks compilation. The patch just reverts such things to LaTeX commands inside put_cmd_in_ert(string): < at >< at > -50,6 +50,8 < at >< at > + dst + '\n\\end_layout\n\\end_inset\n') def put_cmd_in_ert(string): + for rep in unicode_reps: + string = string.replace(rep[1], rep[0].replace('\\\\', '\\')) string = string.replace('\\', "\\backslash\n") string = "\\begin_inset ERT\nstatus collapsed\n\\begin_layout Standard\n" \ + string + "\n\\end_layout\n\\end_inset" 2.) we need to transform \\ to \ in latex2lyx to avoid the duplicate slashes mentioned by Philippe: < at >< at > -280,8 +282,11 < at >< at > else: data = data.replace(rep[0], rep[1]) - # Generic, \" -> ": + # Generic + # \" -> ": data

Odd LyX 1.6 installer error (Win XP)

Paul A. Rubin — 2008-12-01T16:42:45

Hi, Someone on the user list got in touch with me about the dreaded "no classes" problem (LyX 1.6/MiKTeX 2.7 on Win XP -- I don't know which installer he had). After assorted fruitless tries, I looked at his configuration log, which had three anomalies in it: (a) The first line said configure: TeX engine needs windows-style paths in latex files which I take to mean the script knows it's a Win whatever system, but later on Checking whether TeX allows spaces in file names... no indicates that the "a b.tex" text blew up. (b) When the configuration script checked for platex, it said checking for pLaTeX, the Japanese LaTeX... +checking for "platex"... yes Latex not usable (not LaTeX2e) even though it's finding MiKTeX. I don't know if this is a bug in his MiKTeX installation, but does MiKTeX 2.7 still write in the output the string it's looking for? (c) He got Layout file C:/Program Files/LyX16/bin/../Resources\layouts\manpage.layout has no \DeclareXXClass line even though he verified that

As Jurgen said, if you can give us a file, we can try to figure this out. The problem is that we've gone from a dialog where you have to enter LaTeX to an inset where you can enter LyX, and converting the old LaTeX stuff into new LyX stuff is difficult to get right. Several of us worked on it, but, well, there always seem to be other cases. rh

Re: Patch for 3218, Allow user to disable Different Textclass warning.

Jürgen Spitzmüller — 2008-12-01T12:00:15

The attached patch is a proof of concept. It adds a "Do not show this message again" checkbox to the warning on request (implemented for the "different classes" warning in the patch) and stores "hidden" messages in Session. Currently, this does not differentiate per document, which could be implemented easily. I think it is not too bad as it is now, since the whole string is stored. So for instance you can turn off once and for all warnings about a beamer-article including a beamer presentation (my personally most hated message). The patch still has some glitches. I do not have time to investigate further. Maybe someone else will take over? * I did not find a way to prevent the message box from closing when clicking the check box (probably some event will need to be catched). Thus the rather ugly while loop that just reopens the mb each time after clicking the check box. We should get rid of that. * The warning icon does not show up in the dialog even though I specified that. I did not find o

It may be broken On windows XP 64 but not on vista, where it works just fine. Do have reports that it doesn't work on Mac? Aren't these reports based on an older version of gettext? If so, this is just a packaging issue. This is easy to solve in various ways but no solution that satisfies everybody emerged yet. Err, this is exactly what is done by LyX for the feature we are talking about right now :-) As I said, you just need to decide what solution to adopt. Disable it (don't remove) on platforms that do not work (== WinXP64 AFAIK). Abdel.

Stefan Schimanski does. There is some info here http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/100819 This is how it works (and is actually pretty cool - we should get that into the documentation!): 1) Open OmniGraffle (or anything else that supports LinkBack, e.g. LatexIt, as long as it is PDF) and paint something 2) Copy the OmniGraffle picture into the Clipboard (no need to save before) 3) Paste this into LyX 1.6.0 (you get asked to save what you pasted in a file - keep the linkback extension) 4) Close OmniGraffle (again no need to save) 5) In Lyx, rightclick on the figure and "Edit externally..." 6) You end up in OmniGraffle again, editing your prior image. Now how is that? :) /Konrad

Index entries in lyx-1.6

Philippe Charpentier — 2008-11-30T22:45:50

Hi, I recently noted that index entries of lyx-1.5 are badly read by lyx-1.6, and I did not see something like that in bugzilla or recently in the list: For example the following index entry written with lyx-1.5 Command< at >\textbf{Command}!Italic< at >\textit{Italic} : \textbackslash textit\{...\} is converted in lyx-1.6 to Command< at >\textbf{Command}!Italic< at >\\textit{Italic} : \\textbackslash textit\\{...\\} the part \textbf{Command}!Italic< at >\\textit{Italic} : \\textbackslash textit\\{...\\} being in ERT Moreover, it may happens that lyx-1.6 convert an index entry into strange characters and then it is no more able to export the file in latex and of course cannot compile it! For example the following entry (written with lyx-1.5) Partie< at >Partie!Equicontinue< at >\textit{\' Equicontinue} is converted by lyx-1.6 to Partie< at >Partie!Equicontinue< at >\textit{́ Equicontinue} the part \textit{́ Equicontinue} being in ERT, the white part between { and E being two strange characters so that it cannot export (or compile) it!
