Re: insert a url into a lyx/beamer presentation

[UD K]

  
  
I have made some progress
in being able to play a movie from the pdf output of a
Lyx/Beamer presentation.  It turns out that it DOES work if I
insert a hyperlink pointing to the movie file on my computer,
but this miracle happens ONLY if I am NOT in full-screen
(presentation) mode.  In presentation mode (stupidly, I usually
run presentations in presentation  mode.. ;-) nothing happens
when I click on the link in the pdf file.  If I take it out of
presentation mode (hit escape), the link has a frame around it,
and that frame must bring it back to life, and makes it
clickable.  Who knew?

include the package hyperref? Maybe LyX cannot find it and hence
does not propose this option.
  Because your Lyx version is recent enough to have
this option normally.

I think you are on the right track.  I do
want the active link to be in the pdf output
of the Lyx file, not in the Lyx file
itself.  So I clicked: Insert/Hyperlink in
the main Lyx menu.  However, when I go to
the Document/Settings/Pdf properties I find
no "Use Hyperref

link appears colored in the pdf output, but
it is just as dead and useless. So I feel
that some progress has been made, but not
enough to do what I am trying to do.

Dear
  Ehud,
  Maybe I have not
understood your request. 
  Inserting a hyperlink
will create an active link in the
compiled PDF document and not in the
document in LyX. Maybe you are
looking for the second option. Then
I do not know if it is possible.

I finally figured it
out-- the bizarre behavior described in the last message is due
to my using (the default on MX Linux) pdf viewer Qpdfview.  When
I use Evince all works as it should.  Live and learn.

Re: Problem converting older files with lyx2lyx

[ahostmadsen--- via lyx-users]

Thanks, I checked. Yes, it’s on.

One further issue: LyX doesn’t display graphics: “error converting to loadable 
format."

But I just mention these issues as symptoms. My main issue is that I cannot 
open older LyX files, which is a serious headache.

(Sorry, I’m not sure about the right way to reply to messages on the list)

LyX can be used to output LaTeX documents. TikZ can be used in LaTeX via
a package. Or did you mean something more specific?

Daniel






I meant to imply a *close* relation. Anyway, I think as long as there is 
an obvious relation why you want to do something in LyX, like LaTeX 
stuff, it seems to me that those questions are "okay" on the list. And 
some people seem to happily answer them as well. I guess


"This list is for questions on how to get LyX working and how to use LyX"

is (intentionally) a bit vague. (Unlike, say, that bottom posting is 
preferable.)

Yeah, I was going to mention the top posting thing too. And if a person wants 
to use
Tikz in LaTeX to include geometric figures in their LyX documents and therefore 
asks
questions on the LyX list, only a wannabe list cop would object.

You know, I just might study Tikz. It sounds interesting.
