This is configurable on a document basis by checking
Document>Settings>Language>Encoding>Other and selecting "ASCII".
Whether 7-bit ASCII or 8-bit language-dependent encodings or UTF-8
encoded Unicode are much better is hard to agree on.
Instead of changing the encoding setting for every document, you can also
copy the file "languages" from the LyX-directory (here /usr/share/lyx/)
to your personal LyX-directory (here ~/.lyx/) and change the default
setting for the respective language, e.g.
- magyar magyar"Hungarian" false iso8859-2 hu_HU ""
to
+ magyar magyar"Hungarian" false ascii hu_HU ""
or
+ magyar magyar"Hungarian" false utf8 hu_HU ""
>> Is this a bug or desired enhancement?
While I do not consider this a bug, I see two enhancement options:
* Store the original encoding (inputenc option) when importing LaTeX
files. Use ASCII instead of "language default", if there is no
"\usepackage[]{inputenc}" in the original.
* Provide a configurable file encoding default with the values "ascii",
"utf-8" and "language-dependent".

I believe Skim thinks that LyX will be in your /Applications folder. If you have LyX somewhere else, you'll need to enter the appropriate path in Skim's preferences -- something like this: /path/to/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyxeditor Is that the issue? BH

Different page sizes in one document (eng/ger)
ENGLISH: Dear Community, I am currently writing a thesis in LyX, using Koma-Script(book). The page size is A4. Several technical drawings sufficient for the thesis are in A3 and A31 (page height 297mm, width 841mm, to be folded down to A4 after print) and A2 (also to be folded). I want to integrate them in the document to make one lush book. The drawings are explained within the text and they should occur either after a single chapter or in the appendix and to be cross-referenced. The drawings are in PDF. Example: Chapter 1: Architectural Design 1.1 lorem ipsum blablabla, as seen in drawing (1) on page 47. 1.1.1 lorem ipsum blablabla 1.2 1.3 ***at the end of the chapter to be the drawings in their original size (A3,A31,A2) with page number for each drawing.*** alternative: Abstract Foreword Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Conclusion Bibliography Appendices - Appendix 1 (e.g. drawing A3) - Appendix 2 (e.g. drawing A31) I am favorizing the first variant, since there are 3-12 drawings per Chapter and they are more easy to be referenced (and the book looks way better this way). The book would look as lush as one of the nice architectural design magazines on the market with fold-out-drawings. I am a LyX-Newbie and ask for your support. Would you be so kind and give me some help in how to change page sizes per single page in LyX? Thank you for your understanding and efforts. My english isn't that good so I posted the question in my native language below for any German readers. Of course you can write me in English too (my understanding is far better than my writing). GERMAN: Liebe Community, ich schreibe momentan eine Studienarbeit in LyX (ein wirklich großartiges Programm) und nutze Koma-Script (book) für das ganze. Als Standardseitenformat nutze ich A4. Ich habe hier mehrere technische Zeichnungen und Skizzen im Format A3 und A2 sowie im Wildformat A31 (Höhe wie A3 quer, Länge wie A1 quer, Maße s.o.), die im gedruckten Dokument planmäßig auf A4 heruntergefaltet sind, aber auch im späteren PDF auftauchen sollen und zusammen ein schönes Buch geben sollen. Die Zeichnungen werden im Text entsprechend besprochen und erläutert und sollten der Übersichtlichkeit halber entweder am Kapitelende zusammen auftauchen (wie in einigen bekannten Architekturmagazinen) oder ganz am Ende der Arbeit im Anhang. Da es pro Kapitel etwa 3-12 Zeichnungen sind, wäre mir die Lösung am Kapitelende am liebsten. Die Zeichnungen sollen mit Querweisen referenzierbar sein und eigene Seitennummern erhalten. Ich bin eigentlich noch Anfänger in Lyx (mit ein paar Grundkenntnissen), an diesem Problem beiße ich mir aber momentan wirklich die Zähne aus. Könntet Ihr mir bei dem Problem bitte behilflich sein und mir etwas unter die Arme greifen? Was muss ich machen, um die entsprechenden PDF-Zeichnungen korrekt als einzelne Seiten einzufügen? An der Uni könnte ich auch Acrobat nutzen, um die Zeichnungen später an bestimmter Seite einzufügen, aber dann habe ich Null Kontrolle über die entsprechend notwendigen Querverweise im Text.

Re: Can't sync LyX with Skim
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, no, that doesn't seem to help. My LyX file is in a different place. But moving it back to the Applications folder didn't help. Nor did customizing the path (I didn't do these two things simultaneously :) ). I wonder if my pdfsync package could be out of date.

Can you be more precise about what you need? I've uploaded a small beamer
example with notes to http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9417226/beamer_notes.lyx. As
configured, it prints just the notes. Change the second line of the preamble to
\setbeameroption{show notes} (delete "only") and it shows each slide followed on
the next page by the notes. Change that to \setbeameroption{hide notes} (or
omit it altogether) and you get just the slides with no notes.

Can't compile files with .eps figures
Hi, After an update to a new computer (Mac OS X 10.6.4) and to the latest TeX (MacTex-2009) and LyX (1.6.7) versions, none of my former documents that contain .eps figures will compile (nor does a test file that just contains an .eps figure). Compiling via pdflatex and ps2pdf yields the following error message: "An error occurred whilst running epstopdf --outfile='01" (and, subsequently, " Package pdftex.def Erorr: File '01.pdf' ") Compiling via dvipdfm at least produces an output, but with blanks in place of the .eps figures. My preference settings are unaltered (EPS--> PDF: epstopdf --outfile=$$0 $$i). Any hints? I have been looking through mailing lists all day but couldn't find a solution. Tobias

Re: print slides with notes
Necati
Not exactly what you need maybe, but this is what I do.
This is copied from my preamble
%next five lines needed to print two to a page handout comment out for
presentation
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\pgfpagesuselayout{2 on 1}[a4paper,border shrink=2mm]
\setbeamercolor{background canvas}{bg=black!1}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[page number]
\setbeameroption{show only notes}
It shows a thumbnail of the slide, plus any notes associated with the slide.
For it to work, every slide has to have a note attached, even if its
empty, as its really printing the notes, with the thumbnail of the slide
an addition to the note.
I haven't used it for a bit, and its cobbled together from beamer help
from different places, but it might help.
