Thanks for the suggestions Max, but it doesn't work for me.
After I got rid of
\addtocontentsline... which gave me an error,
I still get the same result as using the other method: as many errors
as there are \cite's. This is one from the log file:
! LaTeX Error: Can be used only in preamble.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H for immediate help.
...
l.16 \bibcite{deGennes93}{1}
Your command was ignored.
Type Ito replace it with another command,
orto continue without it.
Does it matter where I put the
{\renewcommand{\bibliography}...}
sequence?
Re: Multiple bibliographies and koma-script
"{\renewcommand{\bibliography}[1]{}"
<<< Insert the BibTexGeneratedReferences via Insert/LIST &TOC
menu>>>
"}"
Please recheck it. Make sure everything in "" is in ERT! And the above
should be in 3 lines. The part in <<< ... >>> is the normal bibtex
list you include in the menual.

extracting a figure from .ps file
[This is not really a lyx question, although I'm confonted to in my use of lyx. Please direct me to another more appropriate list if necessary] I'm looking for a way to extract a figure from a .ps file to include it in lyx. I know I can print the file and scan the required figure ;-) or try a direct conversion to a bitmap format and edit the file in gimp to get the part I want, but if there's a way to get the vectorial form of it, I would of course prefer it. Thank you for your help, Matthieu
Re: extracting a figure from .ps file
Try ps2eps on it. Then open the eps file with ghostview. Find the cordinates of the lower-left and upper-right corner of the area you interested in. Then manually edit the file to give it the new boundingbox. Works for me.

beginner problem
Can anyone help me understand Lyx printing.I can't print and have nothing in the view-update submenu. Otherwise things seem to be working. lyx 1.2.1 tetex stuff 1.0.7 gs 7.05 gv 3.5.8
Please let these three old features appear again in new versions of LyX
Hi list, I love to work with LyX since several years, but in my opinion LyX 1.2.1 still lacks three very important old features. Old versions before made life easier. 1. Preparing a special window for TeX commands is IMHO *not* a good idea! In older versions it was possible to use Mathed in a TeX/LaTeX surrounding. Now you have to put in real LaTeX-commands for formulas. Since there is still no support for the very important command \newtheorem it is necessary to have the ability of using Mathed in the TeX surrounding. Since that seems to be not possible any more, one of the main ideas of LyX seems to have vanished and it may be more convenient to use Emacs instead. 2. Mathed: In older versions e.g. ALT-M-F creates a fraction and *stays* in Mathed. Now you must insert at first STRG-M and afterwards ALT-M-F which makes the inserting of a formula slowlier than before. Inserting a fraction by using the Math-Symbols-Panel leaves Mathed as well (and in older versions you stayed in Mathed). 3. Using the Minibuffer is IMHO less convenient than before. Now you *have* to type in ALT-M-X; the use of the mouse seems to be not supported any more (which is not so very important). But: when you insert a mathematical expression, where you do not remember the shortcuts from older versions, the minibuffer does not show you the shortcuts any more. In general a *lot* of new features have been inserted in LyX. And the developers did a great work, indeed. But since these older features are lacking the use of LyX did not increase the velocity of your work. It seems to be just the opposite.

You need to make sure that gsview32.exe and tetex texmf etc are in your $PATH. Add them from the control panel if necessary. Lyx depend on this variable to determine if you have the dvi/ps viewers during configuration. -- Bo Peng

Yes, exporting as a .dvi and then running it through dvips works beautifully. Can't this be set up in Lyx's preferences, as if it was going to an inkjet? I'm going through the manual again to see what I might have missed; it would be nice to get lyx to do this export/conversion. Somehow I just have to let it, rather than make it. regards, rl
