Re: Python wrapper bibtexall for biblatex

Hi Julien,

I took a look at the log file you enclosed. It took some work, because
the thesis did not compile at first (missing images in the chapters
were one of the problems). In general, try to provide a minimal
working example when asking for help, not the entire document with all
the bells and whistles.

The file now compiles on my laptop and the results, it seems to me,
are what you wanted. I changed two things: (a) I switched from bibtex
to biber as backend ( I could not get your thesis to work with bibtex,
and in general biber works better with biblatex). (b) And I switched
from refsection to refsegment in biblatex. Here is what you need to
do:

A. Switch from bibtex to biber.
- be sure biber is installed on your system (it should. Try typing
"biber" at a command prompt to verify. If not install it via MikTeX)
 - Change the bibtexall script (with an editor): in line 17 (the last
line), replace "bibtex" with "biber"
 - Make sure bibtexall can be found by lyx (again try calling
bibtexall from a command prompt, or ask for help from the Windows
guys)
- Check that in preferences>>Latex , i the section "Bibliography
generation" you have selected "custom" and typed "bibtexall" (without
quotes) in the following field
- in Document>>Settings>>Bibliography>>Processor, select "biber" from
the drop down menu
- in your preamble, change the biblatex loading command to:
    \usepackage[backend=biber,style=nature]{biblatex}
