Hi, Could you please advise on the following features before I make bug reports for them, and check whether they are already doable please?
I will sponsor $50 towards any of the features that I listed, possibly $100 for the more involved features. 1. Have the file->import filters work for snippets - so that we can run the filters on clipboard data. E.g. imagine being able to copy from a webpage as html or a table from Excel and paste straight into lyx. 2. When pasting into a table, automatically add new rows and columns as needed. Currently you have to make sure that you create the table with exactly the right number of rows and columns. 3. Have a GUI way to set the padding between rows and columns in a table. I often have two rows like: "2.3%" "(+/- 3)" and want to have 0 padding between those columns. 4. Have a way to collapse longtables in the same way that you can collapse floats, just to hide them from the GUI. 5. Improve the "preview" for citations in the format Author (year). Currently the preview doesn't match what you'll actually get at all. 6. Add a GUI way to change the natnib citation style from square brackets to round brackets. ( this seems to be a bug - see: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg154523.html ). Even better would be to add a GUI for all 6 of the \bibpunct parameters. 7. Auto-reload when the bibliography .bib file is updated. Add ability to add/edit citations from the Insert->Citation gui. This could be as simple as loading the bib file in the default external editor etc. And minor bugs, with a $10 sponsorship for: 1. Please fix this crash when pasting into tables: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7956 I tested out the proposed solution but it means I can no longer paste into a table with that fix. 2. If you make a table, make it a long table, then cut and paste it into a float, then the GUI still thinks it is a longtable even though it can't be. 3.
