In case someone is interested, I got to this issue, while playing with Dragon Dictate for the Mac (discontinued by the developer 6 weeks after I purchased the license :-(-O)
It reliably crashes when trying to "activate" LyX, never mind that a few years ago when I tried this with previous versions I could not dictate into LyX. So I went the markdown road and developed this workflow over a Sunday afternoon Dictate Markdown into TextMate Issue regularly "Press Key Command S" and "Cache Document" :-)-O Bash Function call pandoc with specific template do some editing of the LaTeX file with Perl run tex2lyx remove ERT with Perl version the Markdown and LyX file(s) Review in LyX Save PDF or print Now I still need to Train my Dragon to understand my Namlish and the medical and/or IT terms I use, but it seems with a bit of self discipline and a cheat sheet I might be onto something. I will also experiment with Dragon on Windows in Virtual Box, which I have for my practice software anyway, and from which I can save the markdown file out onto the mac, so I can continue with the above workflow. This might actually be a solution for other people needing to generate large amounts of text in LyX. greetings, el On 2019-05-13 23:46 , Dr Eberhard W Lisse wrote: > Perfect, I am an early adopter of new versions so I'll go for 2.4 > rather than for 2.3.[34] anyway. > > thanks, > > el [...] >> It's basically https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11259 >> >> It's fixed in 2.4.x.
