Hi all,
After attempting to read through the tutorial, I noticed it
mentioned that LyX included sample templates to edit and get a
running start. When I go to File...New from Template.... the
directory is empty.
Am I doing something wrong? Or did something go wrong with my
install?
You should have a directory at
username/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5/templates/
The default path for File...New from Template.... is set from
Preferences->Paths
hope that helps
Thanks for the quick reply Stephen,
Unfortunately that directory is empty. I popped over to it in
terminal and also saw that the permissions were set correctly.
Any ideas? Bug in the installer? Is there a place to download just
the contents of the template dir? Everything else seems to be
working just fine.
Sounds like the installer did not put things in the right place.
Maybe try running the installer set-up script again.
Does it leave a text file somewhere with the details of the install?
Bennett is the expert on the Mac installer so hopefully he will have
some ideas.
You might be able to extract and copy the templates directory from
the install package. I don't think there is anything special about them.
