Hi all I had worked for a while only with lyx1.6.5 and have not tested the development version for a while. But as I have seen that you have released already a beta-version of lyx2.0, I updated my svn to do some testing. Hope it's not too late. What stroke me first, is that the old package-issue is not completely resolved. Some of you might remember the discussion of http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg155286.html where the problem turned out to be the automatic loading of the package mhchem upon the use of my own macro "\ce" . I am aware that packages are now loaded more carefully (first checking if the macro has been defined by the user and still offering to deselect the package in the document preferences, which I find fine. But for my thesis (written in lyx 1.5.3) this still is not enough. So I have the following situation:
* All my personal macros (including "\ce") are defined in a child document via \input. Apparently lyx does not look if \ce has been defined in the child-document, before loading the package mhchem, so it is loaded. * as \ce of the package mhchem is expecting an argument (while my macro \ce is not), all the equations are completely spoiled. * If I would save the lyx file, some information (whole parts of equation-arrays) would be lost! * Also the latex-run produces errors (same symptoms as in the old discussions). * Even if I go to the document-preferences and uncheck the mhchem package, its support is not undone and the equations remain spoiled. The lyx file is quite big, so I send it only on request. Best regards, Sebastian
