PLease ignore my email below from last night regarding my inablity to
copy and paste from a PDF file into Lyx with Mac Ventura and Lyx 2.3.7-
this was a tired error on my part after a long day struggling to get to
lectures written- I simply confused command V with Control V on the Mac.
It does work as it whould if I hit the correct keys. However the
graphics issue still remains. Could this be due the the version of
Python I have installed? Which Python version does Lyx require on the
Mac please? How can I check and re-install. I thought I had the Xcode
version but may have Anaconda 3.7- but I am ignorant of these issues.
Any ideas please?
Many many thanks so far,
Mark

Hi Stephan
I hit another problem last night and gave up but will try and replicate it
again in the next hour when back in my office. I could not copy and paste text
from a pdf document into Lyx as was trivial before. I am the person who cannot
insert graphics via the normal insert graphics route but can by inserting the
graphics file location. Latest version of Lyx and Ventura 13.1. This new
problem is similar in that I can still with my mouse select the text from the
pdf document and place the cursor where I want it in the Lyx document but now
have to click paste from the menu and it works. I have to double check this
when I get back to my office. I saw somewhere on the web something I didn’t
understand that I” imagemagick was missing????
Thank you for your help but this is really serious as I am in the middle of
teaching and trying to prepare lecture slides.
Many thanks
Mark

Hi all,
unfortunately there is some problem with the LyX binaries on macOS Ventura. I
built these binaries including the Qt frameworks. At the moment I don’t have
the option to investigate the problem because I didn’t upgrade the build system
(yet).
The Universal binary was build on Big Sur and requires at least macOS 10.14.
For those unable to update to Mojave (10.14) I made an Intel binary for macOS
10.12 or newer.
I have no idea what the cause of the Ventura file open dialog is. My plan is to
update the build system to macOS 13.x - so it should be possible to solve the
problem then.
Best regards,
Stephan

Sorry, I did not realize that the current binary for LyX 2.3.7 is a Universal
application. That is what I have been using.
So apparently the problems encountered by Mac users are NOT due to Rosetta as I
had wrongly guessed.

Marcus in your reply to Ed Burmeister you said there are 2 installers for Lyx
2.3.7- for macs- one for old and one for new versions of MacOS .....I don't
think I saw this when installing 2.3.7 I just chose the one option I saw in
front of me-
The two installers are not for older and newer versions of MacOS, they are for
older and newer Macs — older machines have Intel chips while newer machines
have Apple Silicon (M1 and M2 chips). The installer for the universal LyX
binary, which will run on either platform, includes the string “x86_64-arm64”;
the installer for the Intel-only binary only includes the substring “x86_64”.
In fact, both installers and both binaries will run on both older and newer
machines (although, of course, the Intel binary requires the mediation of
Rosetta on Apple Silicon machines). I suppose the Intel-only binary is a bit
smaller and perhaps runs a bit faster on an Intel Mac, but would think the
differences would be negligible (but I could be wrong).
could this be the source of the graphics problem?
No. The problem arises under Ventura no matter which LyX binary you use.
