Hi,
finally I could finish my document ;-)
Fortunately I have still a LyX 1.5.0 on my machine, so I exported what I
had to that format and could continue much quicker usng 1.5.0.
(I observed my watch a few times RC2 needed around 25-30 seconds from
the moment I clicked the OK button of the inset-image-dialog, 1.5.0
needs certainly less than 5 seconds. No representative sample ;-)
Viewing with kpdf is quite slow too, somebody sugested that may be a
problem of graphic format conversion.
Which format does lyx use? I could easily convert all my pictures to
that format using convert. Then no additional time would be needed.
Two slightly OT Questions?
*** In my document which contains around 60 pictures (and some
(sub)section headers I normally insert the pictures just into the text,
putting sometimes an \hfill between two pictures.
In a majority of cases that works quite well.
In some cases two pictures which should be on a line are put on
different lines and the need a whole page, i.e. the first picture is at
the beginning of the upper half of a page, the second one in the lower
half of the page, right justified.
I could overcome this problem putting the picturers in one big minipage,
then the two pictures which should stay beside each other in two single
minipages which again are put in a minipage for the "line".
For this to work I had additionally to set the vertival orientation of
the smallest minipages to 'lower'.
Has anybody an idea what's going on on the LaTeX level here? (Just for
my curiosity ;-)
*** My locale is set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
when starting lyx from the command line I have tried to use commands like
'LC_ALL="en_GB" lyx ...' or
'LANG="en_GB" lyx ...
to get the english version. Because when working with the german version
I have to re-translate the names of menu entries etc. for the
communication here in the list.
Thanks to all of you
Hellmut
