lyx crash when loading eps files
Hi all, I have written a document containing images in eps. Now, mysteriously, when I try to open the same document lyx crash. I have isolated the problem and I can recreate without problems, I create a new document, add image, I choose a file in eps format and confirm. During the creation of the preview lyx crash. I have test also with lyx1.5.1(ubuntu repository), 1.5.3 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=672626) an the problem persists. I use kubuntu 7.10 with QT4.3.2, and this problem was surely born after an updating, but I doesn't know what. In debug mode i see this message. ## LoaderQueue: 1 items in the queue Recognised Fileformat: eps [graphics::CacheItem::Impl::convertToDisplayFormat] Attempting to convert image file: /xxx/aufbau1.eps with displayed filename: ~/xxx/aufbau1.eps Recognised Fileformat: eps The file contains eps format data.

Re: Compare Changes/Differences between LyX Documents
Thanks for all the replies. I like the suggestion below about possibly incorporating a feature within LyX. Since LyX already has a "Track Changes" feature, I wonder whether it would be difficult to add a "Show Changes" feature with respect to a different LyX file. In the meantime it seems like diff is the way to go.

Re: Citation Problem in Lyx 1.5.1
Paulina Restrepo schrieb: I upgraded to Lyx 1.5.1 . The References come up just fine, with numbers and everything, but in the text when I make a citation I get a question mark instead of the number corresponding to that reference. Does anyone know how to fix this? Then your BibTeX file has bugs. To find them, view your document as PDF or DVI and then check the LaTeX-logfile in the LyX menu Document -> LaTeX Log. There LateX writes what the problem is. Often the problems is that you used Unicode characters in the BibTeX file, because BibTeX can in contrary to LyX and LaTeX not handle Unicode. regards Uwe

Change position of caption in a float-figure
Hi all,
how can I change the position of the caption in a floatfigure?
The command
\align left
enclosed to the lyx-file in a texteditor
does it only in lyx. When I convert to ps, then there is the LaTeX Error:
Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
...Plot}Log-Log-Plot \protect\end{flushleft}}
Try typingto proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X to quit.
Best regards
Susanne

Outputting Notes in a PDF from LyX?
Hello all, I'm working on my Thesis in LyX and using a lot of notes to communicate with myself. I would now also like to pass drafts onto my committee, but Notes are not included in pdflatex output. Is there a way to put the document in a "draft" mode so that the Notes are output? I do recall an older version of LyX did print the notes in a lighter shade, can I get that behaviour back? Thanks, B. Bogart
Re: Change position of caption in a float-figure
I forgot to mention that the EmbeddedObjects manual describes the caotion package a bit in section 3.7 and 3.8. Uwe

Bogart If you right click on the Note box a pop-up window (in 1.5.2) gives you the choice of: LyX Note Comment Greyed out Framed Shaded In 1.4.2 the choices are: LyX Note Comment Greyed out The "Greyed out" option gives you the effect you're looking for. -- Les ~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Re: Compare Changes/Differences between LyX Documents
Juergen Spitzmueller wrote: Bo Peng wrote: http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~dekelts/ldiff/ Quite interesting, do you see any hope of integrating this to lyx? ldiff basically just compares tex files (LyX files are converted to tex via lyx -e by the script). I think we should build in some native comparing feature instead (which will mark differences with our change tracking markup). IIRC we have an enhancement request about this. Jürgen Once we move to the xml format, we may be able to leverage some generic xml-diff tools. One that seems quite good (though not very active): http://www.logilab.org/859/ Dov
URLs Extending Into Right Margin
In my document's preamble I have '\usepackage{url}', and in the body of
the text where there is a URL it's inserted as ERT '\url{http://etc.}'. But,
when I view the document (ctrl-d), some of the long strings extend into the
right margin.
I thought that the URL package would handle this, and TLC2 suggests that
it should. But, it's not doing the job in at least two instances.
Is there something I've missed in using this package?

Promote/demote entire branches.
How do I promote/demote an entire branch? For example let's say I have the following table of contents: 1. Hello 2. World 2.1 How 2.2 Are 2.3 You If I demote the second heading using the Document->Outline sidebar, lyx will give me this: 1. Hello 1.1 World 1.2 How 1.3 Are 1.4 You In other words lyx will only demote the heading and ignore all of it's content thereby breaking the hierarchical structure of the document. Sometimes this is what I want, but more often than not, what I really need is for lyx to demote the entire branch of the tree giving me something like this: 1. Hello 1.1. World 1.1.1 How 1.1.2 Are 1.1.3 You As best as I can tell the only way of doing this in lyx is to manually demote every single subheading. This makes reorganising the structure of hierarchical documents unnecessarily time consuming. Is there a better way of doing this?
Problem using pseudocode using algorithm/algpseudocode and Lyx

luck. Basically I would like to use Lyx and edit pseudocode using packages

for assignment, as demonstrated in the .tex file.
This .tex file works fine using LaTeX but when importing the file into LyX,
and creating a pdf preview, LyX complains:
-

The link that might offer help in this similar issue is broken.

Can anyone help and show how to do this within LyX?
