I checked extensively the forum and the net in order to solve this seemingly simple problem, without success. I know that there are a lot of posts regarding this problem, but I was unable to find the one that was fitting my purpose.
I would like to add an extra line inside the List of Figures and Tables when switching from one chapter to another, when using the scrbook
class of ClassicThesis.
So for example it should be:
- Figure 1.1
-
Figure 1.2
-
Figure 2.1
-
Figure 3.1
while what I obtain now is:
- Figure 1.1
- Figure 1.2
- Figure 2.1
- Figure 3.1
Here is the MWE that reproduces my problem, with a possible solution that I took from here, which unfortunately doesn't work in my case:
\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{classicthesis}
\usepackage{classicthesis-ldpkg}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\makeatletter
\let\my@chapter\@chapter
\renewcommand*{\@chapter}{%
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\addvspace{10pt}}%
\my@chapter}
\makeatother
\listoffigures
\clearpage
\chapter{1}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=.9]{fig1}
\caption{Figure 1 of the chapter 1}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=.9]{fig2}
\caption{Figure 2 of the chapter 1}
\end{figure}
1
\chapter{2}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=.9]{fig3}
\caption{Figure 1 of the chapter 2}
\end{figure}
\chapter{3}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=.9]{fig4}
\caption{Figure 1 of the chapter 3}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
Thanks for your kind help.

classicthesis
adds a\deactivateaddvspace
macro at the start the.lof
file. This macro does exactly what its name suggests, and so your patch fails. Looking into the package code, this behaviour seems to be related to alistsseparated
option (and associated boolean) that is set to false. I wasn't able to set it to true again, so here's a brute force method: Define a new macro\killdeactivateadddvspace
that will cause\deactiveateaddvspace
to do nothing, and add the former macro at the very start of the.lof
file -- I've used theetoolbox
package and its\AtEndPreamble
macro to do so.Notes: I didn't use the
classicthesis-ldpkg
package as it is not available at CTAN. Also, adding thedemo
option to thegraphicx
package makes it easier for helpers to test your code.
