dear all,
i downloaded (and compiled) 1.4pre4. it looks and feels good: not like the
unstable and slow beast it was some time ago.
for now (i just started using it for serious stuff) i have some small remarks.
i hope you find them useful, if not: just ignore.
thanks for making lyx better still!
regards, edwin.
bug:
* on document open only buffernew & fileopen are enabled on the toolbar
small comments (feature requests):
* the icons are extremely ugly (and very inconsistent in style)
* toolbar visibility should be configurable through gui
* it would be very nice if command sequences could be assigned their own icons
on the toolbar
misc thoughts:
* only show the standard toolbar, and can i suggest the layout below for the
standard toolbar (i think that things like spelling, and pdf export should be
there)
Toolbar "standard" "Standard"
Layouts
Item "New document" "buffer-new"
Item "Open document" "file-open"
Item "Save document" "buffer-write"
Item "Print document" "dialog-show print"
Separator

* the startup doc could perhaps mention that the toolbar can be configured (and
where)
* i don't know how often people use tabulars/figures outside floats (i never
do), but i have the following in the standard toolbar:
For table/tabulars:
command-sequence float-insert table; self-insert [table caption here];
break-paragraph ;ert-insert; self-insert \centering; char-forward;
tabular-insert 5 5 ;up
For graphs:
command-sequence float-insert figure; self-insert [figure caption here];
break-paragraph ;ert-insert; self-insert \centering; char-forward;
dialog-show-new-inset graphics
