Hi, I was not able to copy a file by drag and drop from konqueror into the lyx editor, since the non-ascii character in the file name (an accented letter, in my case) is erased during the procedure. Is it possible to fix that? I do not know if it is a lyx or kde related issue, so i am sending to both discussion forums. thank you --pol
Hi Pol, Things appear to work fine when I copy accented text (tried Sørtun and Levänen) from Mozilla Firefox to LyX directly. Konqueror is inferior in terms of language support (Firefox can display Chinese, Arabic, Thai, etc.), so I suggest you try Firefox. Sometimes I find myself having to copy and paste text from Konqueror to KWrite (or KEdit) and then copy it to LyX from that intermediate application. It tends to be a little fragile, but Firefox is more robust than most alternatives. If the above suggestion does not work, save the Web page and copy text from the source (X)HTML or import it into LyX as is. If all fails, begin to question the capabilities of your Linux distribution. Hope it helps, Roy -- Roy S.
