Hi all,
I've been very happily using LyX 1.3.7 on a Mac G4 iBook (933 MHz
PPC, 640 MB, OS X 10.3.9) for some time now - thanks to all the
developers! I recently upgraded to v1.5.2 (PPC version). I never got
around to using v1.4.x
I've struck two problems.
1. When quitting LyX and copying/pasting I get a screen message along
the lines of:
Could not remove the temporary directory
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir7301LYxr4/lyx_tmpbuf2
Console.app says:
----------------------------------------
Could not remove the temporary directory
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir7301LYxr4/lyx_tmpbuf1
Could not delete /private/tmp/lyx_tmpdir7301LYxr4/lyx_tmpbuf2.
(boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iterator increment)
Warning: Could not remove temporary directory
----------------------------------------
This issue was reported recently here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg59368.html
with no solution that I can see. I've experienced the same problem.
The pop ups when copying and pasting are particularly annoying.
2. The second issue relates to typing lag. I realise this issue has
been reported previously for OS X. Typing is unbearably slow in
notes, floats etc. I have instant preview turned off. Typing in
standard text is variable, but in general too slow for me to use
1.5.2. I've been working with some large files, originally created in
v1.3.7, but saved as new versions using 1.5.2. Adding text to an
existing paragraph of standard text in these documents results in
typing lag. The lag is greatest when text is added at or near the
beginning of a paragraph. The typing lag does not occur when typing
in a newly created paragraph - it emerges as the paragraph length
increases. I can reproduce both aspects of this behaviour in new
files created using 1.5.2.
Any help is appreciated as I'd like to give 1.5.2 a go!
It's faster if you turn preview on!
Yes, that certainly helps -thanks. Collapsing floats and notes also
helps, but typing within an existing paragraph of text can still result
in excessive lag, which is a problem when editing text. I didn't notice
any improvement with Richard's suggestion to alter the window size.
