It is, and that is not the problem. The LateX export can happen in
the main thread. The problem is elsewhere in that we need finer
control of the 5 or 6 processes for latex compilation. So there's
basically two ways of doing it:
The easy way: let the whole latex compilation handling is done in a
new thread -> this wouldn't even require a cloning of the Buffer.
The hard (and maybe better) way: clean up that mess and, thanks to
signals and slots, trigger the next latex compilation process at the
end of the current process -> No thread needed, the different
compilation would have to be handled in different functions callable
independently
Just thought that I could add another and maybe best way: delegate that
5 or 6 compilations to a python script. The only drawback would be when
latex error occurs as we would need to establish a communication
protocol between this python script and the lyx process in order to show
the errors.
