Qt 4.2.1 rcc does not work.

Bo Peng — 2008-08-19T14:40:35

Hi, I am trying to compile lyx/trunk on a freshly built RHEL5 machine with qt 4.2.1. It seems that rcc of this qt version does not recognize the resource file generated by autotools or scons. The error message is /usr/lib64/qt4/bin/rcc -name Resources debug/src/frontends/qt4/Resource.qrc -o debug/src/frontends/qt4/qrc_Resource.cc RCC: Error: Cannot find file '/path/to/lyx-1.6-rw/lib/images/all-changes-accept.png' Is this a known problem? Thanks. Bo

crash

Pol — 2008-08-17T05:33:34

1.6.0rc1 on linux/kubuntu: It crashed, apparently with no reasons. On the terminal, i got: + 9678 illegal hardware instruction lyx1.6 Any ideas? Restarting lyx, any of the four open files has been retained in the 'recently open files' list. -- Pol

hyperlinks

Pol — 2008-08-17T05:06:03

Hyperlinks, although entered as of 'Web type', are not translated into http addresses, when the pdf file is produced, if the 'http:://' prefix is missing in the target field. E.g., maxima.sourceforge.met is considred as the name of a local file, rather than an http address. -- Pol

v1.5.6 for mac

Pol — 2008-08-16T17:21:35

I cannot install: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.5.6/LyX-1.5.6-Mac-Universal.dmg my download info popup is empty, probably because that is a directory rather than a file -- Pol

the nicefrac package

Pol — 2008-08-16T16:41:15

1.6.0rc1: xdvi rendering of an imported file fails because the package 'nicefrac' was added two times: The package nicefrac has already been loaded with options: [] There has now been an attempt to load it with options [nice] Adding the global options: ,nice to your \documentclass declaration may fix this. Try typing to proceed. Everything is ok, as I the \usepackage[nice]{nicefrac} in the preamble is commented out. By the way, wouldn't be convenient LyX to proceed in such cases? Thank you -- Pol

text styles

Pol — 2008-08-16T12:16:21

1.6.0rc1 : Changing text attributes is not echoed in the text style panel, if the "apply changes immediately" option has been checked. Is that a feature? It s not clear to me what is the difference between that option and the 'apply' button. Thank you -- Pol

hyperlinks and pics

Pol — 2008-08-16T10:53:08

I am just giving 1.6.0rc1 a try Here are my first questions: - I have noticed that the new hyperlink inset is prepending the tag 'Hyperlink' to the displayed name. Since that tag appears to be useless, would it be possible to drop it, in the final release? - The inset "Target" and "Name" hints could be replaced by more explicative expressions, e.g. "Address" and "Text"? If pictures can be embodied into lyx 1.6 files, could that feature be turned on by default? I believe that is the expected setting, especially for new adopters. Thank you -- Pol

[PATCH] And now for something completely different: Undo Groups

Jean-Marc Lasgouttes — 2008-08-15T00:05:43

This patch implements an idea that has already been discussed before: undo groups. The idea is that several recordUndo operations that belong to the same group will be undone at the same time. For example, with a code like the following, beginUndoGroup() recordUndo() doaction1() recotdUndo() doaction2() endUndoGroup() textUndo() will undo both doaction2 and doaction1 (in this order). This is done by assigning a group_id to each UndoElement and handling consecutive elements with same id in one operation. What is it good for? 1/ some operations (like inserting a float over a selection) generate several undo elements on the stack. This is now completely transparent to the user. 2/ some operations (e.g. replace all) save the whole document in the undo stack. This can be a problem when working on a big document [1]. Undo groups allows to do many small operations instead. The following patch does not implement part 2/ of the plan as it is. All recordUndoFullDocument uses sho

How does LyX call pdflatex ?

Konrad Hofbauer — 2008-08-14T12:01:34

Hi, I am trying to hunt down a bug related to automatic reloading of the PDF file using Skim. Can someone give me a quick idea how LyX converts to PDF (using pdflatex)? LyX converts/exports everything into the tmp directory, and then? A single pdflatex call without particular options, multiple calls, ... ? Also, what is the real difference between View->PDF and View->Update->PDF. Only that the external viewer is called or not? Thanks, Konrad

Toolbar garbage

Stefan Schimanski — 2008-08-14T07:53:08

Hi! Any idea what these strange icons in the toolbar are? I got that some days ago after an update, on Mac with Qt 4.4. Stefan

EMPH does the wrong thing in footnotes

rgheck — 2008-08-13T23:22:14

I've chased this bug a bit, but I don't understand fonts well enough to fix it. In a footnote, hitting "Ctrl-E" causes the textcolor and size to be set as well. These are the color and size defined for the InsetLayout, but for some reason those are being picked up also as the output font parameters. rh

[PATCH] bug 5065: DEPM fails with "cursor follows scrollbar"

Jean-Marc Lasgouttes — 2008-08-13T13:48:01

This patch does a bit of reorganisation of BufferView::setCursorFromScrollbar and, more importantly, makes sure that the mouse is set using mouseSetCursor (so that dEPM can trigger). Actually, I wonder whether BufferView::cursor() could be changed to const, so that the cursor cannot be moved without dEPM. I'll appy later if there is no suggestion. This can be trivially ported to branch too. JMarc

LyX/Mac-1.6.0rc1 - please test.

Konrad Hofbauer — 2008-08-13T08:29:15

Hello, on behalf of Bennett (and thanks to his preparations) I created a LyX/Mac universal binary for 1.6.0rc1. Could somebody test if it looks OK on other machines (especially on 10.5 and/or PPC) before it is put on the server? Thanks, Konrad

Selection without a selection [Bug 5162]

Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW — 2008-08-12T16:07:47

I was trying to figure out why it is *always* a surprise whether LyX moves the cursor when right-clicking somewhere or not. It seems to be that if you click somewhere and you hold the mouse down and you move your mouse, LyX will select text, for instance. However, if you move the mouse just a little (less than a character) you do not select anything, but the Edit->Cut and Edit->Copy are enabled. If you now right-click somewhere, LyX won't update the cursor, because it is programmed not to anything when there is a selection. I think this would fix a lot of frustration! Vincent

Add more standard shortcuts?

Bo Peng — 2008-08-11T15:52:03

Dear all, Is it possible to add a bunch of standard shortcuts to 1.6.0? I use mathematical symbols a lot and the standard shortcuts are cumbersome and incomplete for math symbols. For example, it needs three keys 'M-m g p' to enter '\pi' and there is no shortcut for many commonly used mathematical symbols. (IMHO, three-key shortcuts can hardly be called shortcuts. :-) I would propose 1. A greek mode (M-g) to enter Greek characters. 2. A symbol mode (M-m) to enter (many more) mathematical symbols. 3. An environment mode (M-e) to enter standard, section etc If changing the default behavior is unacceptable, I can add files such as 'extra-math.bind', 'environment.bind', and add checkboxes such as 'use extra mathematical shortcuts' to the shortcut dialog. Cheers, Bo

problem running latest svn

Micha — 2008-08-11T09:09:47

I tried compiling the latest lyx from svn for debian using the debian directory from the experimental 1.6.0-beta2. It compiles fine, but when I try to run it it locks up and doesn't come up at all, doesn't accept Ctrl-C and only dies on kill -9 (signal 15 is ignored). I tried attaching with strace and it seems to be waiting on a futex: $ strace -p 8392 Process 8392 attached - interrupt to quit futex(0x7fdfff99b8e0, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL If I try to run lyx initial with strace it dies along the way [...] open("/usr/share/lyx/ui/stdtoolbars.inc", O_RDONLY) = 13 read(13, "# -*- text -*-\n\n# file stdtoolbar"..., 8191) = 8191 read(13, "ations\"\n\t\tIconPalette \"latex_ams_"..., 8191) = 8191 read(13, "math-insert \\parallel\"\n\t\tItem \"su"..., 8191) = 8191 read(13, "math-insert \\downharpoonleft\"\n\t\tI"..., 8191) = 6838 read(13, ""..., 8191) = 0 close(13) = 0 read(12, ""..., 8191) = 0 close(12) = 0 mmap(

proper usage of wrap float?

Abe Lau — 2008-08-10T11:31:11

Hi, I am just wondering what is the proper/expected usage of table/figure wrap float (1.6.0rc1). I was thinking the table would wrap and float within text rather than just using the entire horizontal space. However, upon trying, I found that the caption still span a whole line. Am I using the wrap float in a wrong manner, or is the caption misplaced?
