Re: How to use biblatex-dw with biber or biblatex or bilatex8 in LyX…

Dear list, dear Stefano, thanks again. Well, first I tried to check via the terminal wether I get the exact path back, which I did (even though I had to change from the german »Schreibtisch« to »Desktop« again – which was just one of the last tries I did before). After that I checked, wether biber is active in the preferences. In fact, biber was not, it was biblatex which was acive, so I tried to change that. Every time I did LyX crashed with an error – I add the screenshot. But even worse: for I wanted to have the screenshot in english language, I also tried to change the language of LyX, and again it crashed. I seems that I could not do any changes in the preferences without generating errors. I tried several things. Sometimes LyX did not crash, but it also did not save the changes. So it seems I have a problem with LyX – does anybody know what I could do in this case?

I change the path to my .bib-file on the desktop again, and I also turned back to natbib for the bibliography. Could it be, that there is something wrong with my absolute path for the -bib-file? I have the bib-file on the desktop, and this is my path: /Users/ZZZ/Schreibtisch/Diss3.bib Jess Hi Jess, your new file works fine here as soon as I change the path in \addbibresource to /home/stefano/Desktop/Diss3.bib You could take a look at  the LaTeX and biber  logs and check  what they are telling you. Somehow biber is not finding your bib file, it seems to me. A capitalization error, perhaps? I think you are on a Mac. If you open the terminal and type ls  /Users/ZZZ/Schreibtisch/Diss3.bib do you get the exact path back?
