I'm guessing this assumes bash or sh as the shell? IIRC, it's slightly

I'm not sure, but I don't think it's possible to redirect stderr

use lyxserver to set branch active

[Sanders, Maarten (M.J.L.)]

Hi,

I am trying to get an idea on how to work with lyxserver.

My idea is to have one master document with many child docs where the
master doc sets all branches. Ideally we would also have one master file
and a "config utility" that sets the branches in the state we want them.

I have a .lyxpipe.in and .lyxpipe.out but how can I now set a branch to
active from the unix command prompt? Are there any examples on how to do
this?

If not, is it possible to use an external file to "use" to set the
status of the branches in an opened lyxdocument.

met vriendelijke groet / kind regards,
 
Maarten Sanders

I think we should, but at that time the Qt frontend authors did not
want to have their hands bound by how the xforms frontend works.

Sorry, seems I messed up the quotation.  Look at earlier messages. . .

 


Now, if we're making wishes - scratch the bloated gtk and

nice stuff like unicode and antialiasing anyway.  
   



I just moved kde --> gnome and do not understand what would be the
advantage of fltk over gtk and/or Qt?
 


The advantage is that it is smaller.  Bot qt and gtk are big and
bloated.  It makes a difference for those of us who runs neither
kde nor gnome on the desktop.  (Logging in to icewm takes 3 seconds,
looking at someone logging in to kde is apalling. Half a minute?) And
that is on a fast 2GHz machine, there are people using much older
stuff than that.  I remember running lyx on a pentium-90.  It took
some time to start, but would scroll through the userguide with
lightning speed.  No other wordprocessor came close, editing was
_fast_.

It probably make little differnce to someone who has he toolkit loaded
already (because the window manager or other app uses it)

Still, I really liked the way lyx 1.3 starts in less than a second.  Lyx 1.4
needs 5 seconds to start, even with no document and debugging turned
off. 


Multi-platform?
 


I have no idea - but the existing qt port is multiplatform so a port
to another toolkit doesn't have to be. 


I was thinking about that in the time when I proposed wxWidgets as a one
multi-platform kit, but today I'm more for GTK+.

However, I also understand that we won't see GTK and/or GNOME port soon,
but nobody can prevent me dreaming :-)
 


The same goes for fltk of course.  Just a dream, there are more
important goals.

Yes, fltk is a very nice little toolkit. In fact, it's the successor
to the XForms library that we do use in one of our frontends.

However, before any eager soul jumps on this frontend bandwagon, I'd
like to introduce a note of caution and suggest that you really,
really shouldn't create yet another frontend to LyX. Time is limited,
there are only so many of us and another frontend would just be more
to maintain for no real benefit.

I think we'd all like to see improved core functionality in future
releases. The last three or four years have seen increased prettiness
and stability and *much* nicer code but little real increase in what
LyX can actually do. Now that we have something that's at least
reasonably modern looking, let's turn the thing into the world beater
we always hoped it would be.
 


I agree.  Currently, I report bugs and test patches.  When 1.4
gets out, I'll see if I can add support for some of the stuff I like, 
such as

\dotfill and multicols. :-)

Version Control and multipart documents

[David Wolfson]

I'm writing a large document, so have a master document with a number of 
include files. This all works well, and I normally load the master document 
and load the individual files from within it.

Having completed first drafts of some parts of the document, I'm now trying to 
use version control. I've installed rcs and tried it on a test document and 
it appears to work fine. The problem comes when I try to combine the two. 

Having registered a document, if I load it from the master it is locked, but 
has no version history, and cannot be unlocked from lyx. I'm guessing this is 
something to do with where rcs logs the changes, but I can't see any relevant 
looking 'rcs' file/folder.

Have I goofed? Is this a bug? Is using RCS in this way not possible?

Any help greatly appreciated,

Dave

Bugzilla, but discuss it first on lyx-devel. It's probably something
trivial on your side.

I don't think you can "fine tune" stuff like this. I had a pipe dream
(bad pun) to have an EXPORT_INSET lfun or somesuch that would post
the same info that is posted to the dialog when it's displayed, only
this info would go to the lyxserver. You'd then be able to madify as
you see fit and post it back with an APPLY_INSET lfun. It's still a
great idea, but it's implementation is up to (a collective) you.

You are probably compiling with g++'s debug iterators. Try recompiling
having configured with --disable-stdlib-debug and things should be an
order of magnitude faster.

internationalization issues (was Re: Forget Windows)

[William F. Adams]

(Thanks to whoever did it for re-subscribing me to the dev list)

I'm making this last post to both lists and then will try to find the 
time to look into things on the lyx-devel side.


As I alluded to before, NeXT/OPEN/GNUstep/Cocoa allows one to 
dynamically add and remove language support from a compiled program, 
and it'd be nice for LyX to have a similar facility (perhaps it already 
does, I haven't looked into it yet).


For the matter of different dialogs in different front-end versions, it 
seems to me that the solution would be to have a single place to store 
_all_ such, and then the xforms version grabs a version specific to it, 
while the QT version gets one which it wants, and in the event of a 
single version being available, they all fall back to that.


That way a translator only has one file/set to work on.

As an example, TeXshop has the following directories in itself:

Dutch.lproj
English.lproj
French.lproj
German.lproj
Italian.lproj
Japanese.lproj
Portuguese.lproj
Romanian.lproj
Spanish.lproj

each of which provides support for the appropriate language.

English.lproj then has:

Credits.rtf
CustomInfo.plist
FindPanel.nib
FindPanel.strings
InfoPlist.strings
Localizable.strings
MacroEditor.nib
MainMenu.nib
MyDocument.nib
Preferences.nib
TeXShop.scriptTerminology
TeXShopHelp
ToolbarItems.strings
completionpanel1.2.nib
matrixpanel.nib

One really cool thing here is that a user can edit a program's .nib 
files to introduce new capabilities w/o recompiling the app.


Anyway, I hope that this is seen as helpful or constructive. I really 
feel LyX is one of the most innovative, and forward-looking 
applications available (open or closed-source) and am very glad to have 
a new version running again, and am very much looking forward to 1.4 
and beyond.

I assume you are referring to cell merging.

Have a look at the example file called TableExamples.lyx. It shows you how
to  handle  more complex tables structures and gives you plenty to  poten-
tially re-use.

Since I have a slightly out-of-date version of LyX on this computer, I de-
cided  to attach the file (which may no longer exist in v.1.3.6). The file
is not overly big, but many apologies to list subscribers in advance...

Hope it helps,

Highlight the header cells, right click and in the Table Settings tab of 
the pop-up dialog put a check next to "Multicolumn".  You can adjust the 
borders as well.  Borders of multicolumn cells are handled separately 
from the row/column borders.  Note that you can declare a single cell to 
be "multicolumn" if you want it to have unique borders.

  Also, if you want the column to have entries left justified, but the column
header to be centered, you need to declare that column header cell
'multicolumn.' Then you can center the header and leave the rest left
aligned. No, that's not intuitive. :-)

I've scanned the archives but not found anything but how to put two

Then manually creating the captions by placing

Here is the way I think it should be solved. Assuming the first is

[Light OT]: JabRef problem

Hi,

I installed JabRef a couple of days ago and have a simple problem: I 
just cannot open my bibtex (.bib) file created and maintained with 
KBiBTeX. Each time I try the following error message appears:

 java.lang.NullPointerException
at net.sf.jabref.imports.OpenDatabaseAction.openIt(Unknown Source)

I have encountered no problems when opening the same file with KBibTeX, 
tellico or Pybligrapher.

Any hints?

Latin Modern in Dropped Capitals

[Jim Osborn]

I installed teTeX-3.0 some time after building LyX-1.3.5 (Qt).  I had
been running teTeX-1.0.7.  The Latin Modern fonts are installed as
part of the teTeX-3.0 installation, and I can use them in the normal
text of a LyX document via the FAQ instructions \usepackage{lmodern}.

However, the dropped capital package requires fonts specified with
their nicknames "ptmr", "yfrak", "ecrm1000" etc. and when I try
using "lmr" or "lmr10" I get LaTeX errors about missing TFM files.

The TFM files seemed to get built automatically as needed for the ec
fonts, so I'd think the same would happen for the lm family, but
so far, they're not.

Do I need to build TFM files manually, or is there something else
I need to tell LyX?  Do I need to add entries in the LyX configure
script that makes symlinks in .../lyx/xfonts for various .pfb files?
Something else?

I thought I better ask here before charging off on a bunch of
blind alleys.

TIA,

Jim

Citation style of natbib with non-bibtex entries.

[Bo Peng]

Dear list,

The usual way to use bibtex / natbib is

1. use bibtex database, (insert -> bib and toc -> bibtex reference)
2. turn onnatbib from layout -> document
3. insert citation reference, select references and choose citation style.

Problem occurs when I use bib entries directly (key some, label
someone, ). When I insert citation reference, I can select
references but *not* citation style. I have to use ert (\citep etc) to
insert citations.

Thanks.

LyX & front-ends

[Gour]

Hi!

The recent thread 'Forget Windows' produced lot of traffic and different
solutions/suggestions were thrown out.

Thinking about it, I got an idea which I'm presenting here.¹


Lars wrote: "Note that code share is in the very high 90's %. It is
packaging that takes time, and you won't get that from just using a
multi-platform lib. (qt-linux, qt-mac, qt-win)"

and I afterwards I was thinking that if the gui-independence 'project'
achieved such a high score in code sharing, why not making it a kind of 
C(++) core lib 'libLyX' with a cleanly defined API which other front-ends can
use?

This would open the door that some front-ends can be developed in
higher-level languages with appropriate bindings, thereby enabling users
not so competent with C(++) to work on different front-ends by
following API.

Moreover, it could lead to better integration of those front-ends with
appropriate environments (KDE, GNOME, Mac OS X, Win32).

Disclaimer: I am not at all familiar with the present LyX codebase and
cannot give any estimation how much work it would include and/or if it
is feasible at all. It is thrown out just as a possibility to make LyX
more usable, appealing and widely used.

#lyx on freenode?

[Martin A. Hansen]

hello list members


the lyx mailing list is busy as always, and it is delightful to see all
sorts of questions (also off topic ones) are answered and debated in a
friendly atmosphere.

i was wondering if some of the lengthy threads would benefit from being
discussed on IRC - and i am wondering why there is only 7 nicks on
#lyx/freenode. of cause an IRC channel needs critical mass in order to be a
success - that is, a minimum of online people because it is not fruitful
talking to yourself.

so my suggestion is: how about joining in in #lyx/freenode with in a certain
time-window every day? would european evening time be best?

One file I created in kbibtex had problems with LyX. I don't recall the 
exact reason for the problem (I think it was something to do with there 
being an un-closed brace). Anyhow, I manually re-quoted the text for all 
entries in the file (it was only a small file), and then it started 
working.

My conclusion - kbibtex isn't ready for regular use yet. It looks 
promising, but the low version number seems to indicate that a lot more 
work needs to be done.
