Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Custom Floats in TOC incorrectly labeled as "Figure"

[AndyBlue]

Dear Honorable Community,

I am formatting my chemistry thesis in Lyx using the ClassicThesis template (which is based on the scrreprt class from KOMA Script). I added a new Schemes float type (see below) to easily provide a way of inserting graphical chemical reaction schemes (via Insert -> Float -> Scheme) However, the captions in the "List of Schemes" in the TOC are all labeled as Figures and not Schemes as shown in the screen shot below,

List of Schemes.png (65.6 KiB) Viewed 8194 times

and I can't determine how to update Lyx to correct this situation.

Here is my MWE:
minimal working example
In the local layout:
Format 35
Float
Type scheme
Name scheme
GuiName Scheme Listing
Placement tbp
Extension los
NumberWithin none
Style plain
ListName "List of Schemes"
IsPredefined false
UsesFloatPkg true
floatperchapter true
Entryprefix Scheme
RefPrefix sch
End

In the preamble:
% \usepackage{float}
%\newlistof{listofschemes}{los}{List of Schemes}
\counterwithin{scheme}{section}
\numberwithin{scheme}{chapter}
\usepackage{scrhack}

In the TOC Contents child document:
%*************************
% List of Schemes
%*************************
%\phantomsection
%\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listschemename}
\listof{scheme}{List of Schemes}
\pdfbookmark[1]\newlistof{listofschemes} %{\listschemename}{los}
[/MWE]

Inserting the "List of Schemes" via the menu option (Insert -> List/TOC -> List of Schemes) will give an empty section. Uncommenting "{\listschemename}{los}" will give me an error message that \listschemename is not defined.

I've tried to follow suggestions in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions ... sic-thesis and a few other pages but have not been successful in determining the error. Could anybody kindly point me in the correct direction?

Thank you,
Andrew

Without a minimal working example, it is really hard to help.

Thanks for the quick reply, Johannes.
Below is a minimal LaTeX example which I extracted from my master document and which shows "Schemes" mislabeled as "Figures".

Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Add \renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{Wombat~} right before the list of schemes.

There is a whole bunch of strange code in your example. I am not sure which package should pick up what. The really strangest thing you are using is classicthesis.

Off-topic: I get some errors with your code, this might be due to me still using TeX Live 2017. The undefined commands, at least in part, are in the new LaTeX kernel and don't need a package. But with the code, i don't think you removed the package conciously.

[AndyBlue]

It works! It works! It works! It works! Thank you so much, Johannes! I don't think I would ever have figured out your solution. In any case, I quickly replaced "Wombat" with "Scheme" once I realized that Wombat was not an actual LaTeX command (haha).

My document was still getting an error when I generated the master document but I figured out that commenting out the following code, "% \pdfbookmark[1] \newlistof{listofschemes}{\listschemename}{los}" with the percent sign got rid of the error without affecting the List of Schemes.

My document now generates without any errors and it looks very good considering it is still a work in progress. I assume that any strange code is from the classicthesis template although I did enter some customizations to get particular features to look the way I want them to.

Thank you again,
Andrew
