I promised to share my thoughts on what needs to be done, so here they are in no particular order:
- sort out what the problems with recent (3.2 or 3.3) versions of Qt are, and try to make LyX/Mac work correctly with them. Report Qt bugs that have been identified. - fix the display of lfun bindings in the menus (like Command O for File>Open...). I think I have an idea to do it which is outside of Qt/Mac code. Somebody will need to try it out, though. - fix the problem with moving menu options. This one is tougher and requires a bit of work. 1/ switch to a version of qt that has the (undocumented?) qt_mac_set_no_menubar_merge() function: this disables the Qt/Mac mechanism that moves entries to the LyX menu 2/ add in the menu backend the possibility to define a 'system' menu; all entries in this menu will be removed from the main menu system. The frontend will be responsible for using this menu. 3/ add code in the qt/mac frontend to actually populate the LyX menu with contents from the system menu. To this end it is possible to grab some code from qt/mac free. - sort out the problem of using the native aqua filepicker vs. the qt one. It is more a decision to make than a difficulty with code. I think it is all for now... So, is there a volunteer in this room? Please raise your hand! JMarc
