LyX ⇒ use a cls file in lyx

[liangbright]

Hi all

I find a strange thing about LyX.

When I was using LyX 2.0.4 on windows 7 several month ago, I could add a XXX.cls file, mitex->refresh FNDB, lyx->reconfig, and then I could use it with my new LyX file.

Now I use LyX 2.0.6 on the same machine, and add the same XXX.cls file, and go through the same process, but I can not use it with my new lyx file => lyx can not find the layout file.

I check the folder ...\LyX 2.0.4\Resources\layouts, and I find XXX.layout which was automatically created by LyX 2.0.4

I check the folder ...\LyX 2.0.6\Resources\layouts, and I can not find XXX.layout.

It seems LyX 2.0.6 removed the auto-converting (from .cls to .layout) function.

BTW, the content of the XXX.layout is

Code: Select all

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[XXX]{article (XXX)}
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc

Try putting in a new line reading:
Input article.layout

Place it right before Input stdclass.inc and then save, reconfigure LyX, and see if the class becomes available. It should, but depending on your class file, you might need to make additional changes or use ERT.
