Hello LyXers,
the alternative Windows installer for LyX 1.6.4 is now available.
Hi Uwe,
Thanks for being so fast as compiling (and thanks all the team for the
new version).
I noticed there is a change for elyxer and embedded images. For people
who do not have python installed on their machine, the hack to have
elyxer to work has changed (the "--directory $$r" has to be added to the
LyX->HTML converter, as it has been added in the default installation).
As a reference, the process is the following:
1- copy the elyxer.py (at least version 0.27) into LyX scripts folder,
which should be on most machines:
C:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.4\Resources\scripts
2- in LyX, got to Tools->Preferences, then go to File
Handling->Converters section. Select the "LyX -> HTML" converter
definition, and replace the Converter line
elyxer --directory $$r $$i $$o
by
python $$s/scripts/elyxer.py --directory $$r $$i $$o
[If you have used this trick before with 1.6.3 and kept the old
preferences when installing 1.6.4, the old line to replace should be
python $$s/scripts/elyxer.py $$i $$o
and you should replace it by the same line with the added --directory $$r]
3- Press "Modify" then "Save". You should now be able to export and view
with elyxer and have the images.
Without this trick, on my machine, the default code results in elyxer
being opened in my text editor (the default action for .py files when
you do not have python installed is probably to open them in a editor,
or to do nothing).
I hope this can be useful for other people.
Best regards,
Olivier
