I think the following is unexpected: Change a different document setting, e.g., "Synchronize with output". The buttons "OK" and "Apply" are enabled. Then click on "Allow running external programs". Notice that the "OK" and "Apply" buttons are disabled, because the settings were applied. I expected only the "Allow running external programs" setting to be instantly applied, and that the "Synchronize with output" would only be applied when I click on "OK" or "Apply". It did feel strange that the "OK" and "Apply" buttons were not enabled when checking the "Allow running external programs" checkbox, but I got used to it quickly. I wonder if it would be more clear if we append to the current tooltip "(this setting is changed applied)". Regarding the message that's displayed when someone manually adds -shell-escape to a converter, I think we should point the user to more information so that they can learn how to use the built-in LyX feature. Where is the appropriate place in our documentation for this feature? Similarly, we should point the user to the relevant information for the minted example files. Scott
