Yes :) I guess we can rely on Q_CYGWIN_WIN instead, but is it really defined in this case? JMarc

Re: erreur lyx

FYI the problem is that Adnane get the 'File cp1256.def not found' latex error message. This means that the package 'arabi' is not installed on his Linux system. Couldn't we warn such user that this package is missing instead of throwing at him such cryptic latex error message? Abdel.

It would make sense if we had support for inter-docs references. Otherwise I fear it will be awkward to use. We could also have a per-document FAQ at the beginning of each document. JMarc

Bug report: fullscreen issues

Phillip Anderson — 2008-10-07T02:11:06

Hey all, I'd like to report a bug in lyx version 1.6 rc2 (and rc3). When going to fullscreen, I can't get the menubar or statusbar to show. As a result, I don't have access to any of the menu options in fullscreen mode. I have tried the ui-toggle LFUN. It does not work in fullscreen mode for the menubar or statusbar (It does work otherwise). I'm running a Ubuntu Hardy on a Dell e1505 and have also tried on an Asus eee 1000h running Ubuntu Hardy. Everything else is working wonderfully for me. Keep up the great work guys, this is amazing software! Thanks for all the hard work.

Re: changeset/26771- about the documentation files

Pavel Sanda — 2008-10-06T21:18:28

have seen there are ~10 [[FIXME]] items in layout-tags section in Customization manual. since you have worked on layouts/modules stuff a lot, maybe you are able to describe these tags? i asked Uwe for this, and if he won't find time i'll do some not-so-nice version myself, since i need search through all our docs quite often... pavel

Re: changeset/26771- about the documentation files

rgheck — 2008-10-06T21:06:34

This is actually stated in the first paragraph of so of that manual. ;-) And much of it really is quite advanced and not really of interest to the average user. So maybe it should really be called the "Advanced Features" manual, or something of the sort. I'm going to have a look at that one. Some of it is very out of date. (But not the version control stuff!). I'm guessing that, in fact, there's a lot of stuff in that manual that should really just be removed. Or perhaps moved to some other file or files. I agree. It doesn't seem very useful, in fact. That'd be nice.... rh

Re: changeset/26771- about the documentation files

rgheck — 2008-10-06T20:50:59

Thanks. Most of the Customization manual should now be up to date. The part that isn't, or at least may not be, is section 6, "Including External Material". I looked over it briefly, but I have never used, and do not understand, that stuff. So it's totally unclear to me whether it is right or wrong. I'll add a comment to that effect. If there's anyone who does understand it, perhaps they could have a look. I'll have a look at the Extended manual. I'd drop them all. If the other ones are as out of date as the English one is, it might do more harm than good. Maybe a better thing would be an FAQ that simply consisted of cross-references to places in the various manuals where questions are answered. rh

Re: changeset/26771- about the documentation files

Pavel Sanda — 2008-10-06T20:20:05

+1 more on the help menu - imho it would be helpful if we could join some manuals together - for example there is no reason to have embedded objects manual to have separated. i also wonder whats the reason for extended manual to be separated. next probably problematic draft would be to get rid of the table of contents file. i can't remember i have ever touched it, and because one can't click in hypertext way in its sections, i wonder how is this file to be used actually. its generation takes a lot of time when make install is being done. last but not least i hope for complete 'LyX Book' to be released synchronously with 1.6, which will contain all manuals put together, with working pdf bookmarks, so the the contents will be accessible in a more feasible way. pavel

Hi all. I just sent a mail with contact data to the people that are mentioned on http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/LyXMeeting2008 If your name is there but you haven't got a mail, tell me so. If your name is not yet there but you'd like to come nevertheless, tell me so. Note that you do not need any specific qualification or reason to come.

changeset/26771- about the documentation files

Uwe Stöhr — 2008-10-06T18:53:27

> of just accept all changes and commit it. I currently only maintain the following documentation files: - UserGuide - Math - EmbeddedObjects - Intro - Tutorial So when changing them it would be nice to use change tracking. I can then also take the changes to the other languages. Currently we have active documentation members for Spanish, French, German, and partly Italian. The other documentation files are in many parts outdated, but I haven't found the time to update the Customization and Extended manual until now. I saw that you in the meantime updated the Customization manual - good job! Pavel takes care about the LFUNS manual, we all of the LaTeX Config file. Thanks to InsetInfo, Shortcuts is automatically updated. SCons and I guess also CMake creates the Table of Contents files automatically. Concerning the FAQ.lyx manual, I would like to drop it as most of its content is in our other manuals and the FAQ section of the Wiki. The Wiki also has the advantage that everybody can help to keep it up to

Re: Pasting over a selection

Andre Poenitz — 2008-10-06T17:55:40

'Design' in this case is spelled 'Fighting History'. There was a time when the cursor was slice-by-slice part of the corresponding LyXText. Big fun, especially within math where there is no LyXText and never has been. It might be hard to imagine, but things can be way worse than what we have now. There was, e.g., no way to iterate though a document. Having said that, it was clear from the beginning of the standalone cursor is too fat. There was a certain hope that parts get back into the insets, which, in a few cases even came true. I am by now also questioning some of the principles that guided that part of the making of the standalone cursor that actually saw something like a 'design' phase. I was a big(ger) fan of value-semantics then, so the 'parentless' inset was sort of natural, but leaving unresolved ('the caption problem') or computationaly expensive (label updating) problems behind.

There's no problem on Solaris (I think it may qualify as 'exotic' these days) but I have a problem on Cygwin. With this patch, X_DISPLAY_MISSING is not defined in config.h and this is used in a couple of places in the code for distinguishing between Qt4/X11 and Qt4/Win Cygwin builds.
