Hi! I'm running LyX 1.6.1 on a variety of Linux platforms. I never used branches before, but now I'm trying to use a branch in a book project I'm writing. I hope you find it entertaining that my book is called "Stuff Worth Knowing (And Not Much More)". It includes tips for people who are beginning a graduate career in research.
In the various child documents, I have questions and want to put answers in a separate branch so that I can separately print out an Instructor's manual. Here are some of the questions I have. 1. Viewing the whole book from the master document does display the answer branch. However, when viewing the child documents individually, the branches do not show, even if they are enabled in both the master and the child. Have you seen this? 2. I see some weird, unpredictable behaviors in the use of branches. If I highlight a whole branch box and copy it and paste it, then LyX sometimes crashes and leaves this in the terminal: This is an intermittent problem... $ lyx LyX Code: 36 name: Branch ../../../src/support/lassert.cpp(21): ASSERTION false VIOLATED IN ../../src/insets/Inset.cpp:137 /home/pauljohn/ps/ps707/Workbook/Workbook-matrices/workbook-Matrices.lyx.emergency LyX Code: 36 name: Branch ../../../src/support/lassert.cpp(21): ASSERTION false VIOLATED IN ../../src/insets/Inset.cpp:137 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'lyx::support::ExceptionMessage' what(): Inset::buffer_ member not initialized! LyX Code: 36 name: Branch Aborted As far as I can see, this happens only in a child document, not in the master document of the book. I will share the source code to anybody who wants to investigate this. There is one significant complication. The master document uses some Noweb/Rweave functionality and so people who don't have the Sweave class and R installed won't be able to process the master document. However, this crash can be reproduced even when are only working in a child document that does not require Sweave. pj -- Paul E.
