Is there any big must-have feature which we should wait for?
As far as I know, embedding was the only lagging feature, and it is
ready for alpha testing now.
There are, I think, a couple of recent bugs that should be addressed
first (or am I the only one experiencing these?).
1. Loading open files from last session does not work.
2. Every time I open a file, save it, and open it again, it opens as
changed, so that if I immediately close it it asks if I want to save.
I'd still like to have window behavior changed ... at least on Mac.
Now that multiple windows is working so well, I'd like to see the
default behavior be to open new documents in their own window. This
could be done with changing some keybindings, but for it to work
well, we'd need to do two things:
(a) close the LyX window when there is no document open -- so that we
never have a window with just the LyX banner; and
(b) allow LyX to remain running when all windows are closed.
Of course I say "we'd" need to do these when I'm not in a position to
do it. But I'd at least like to see if this is relatively simple
(even if only on Mac) and whether others might find it worth taking
up the cause.
