Hello,
Using LyX 2.4.4 and Macbook M2 and Tahoe.
I recently split a very large LyX document into multiple child
documents, and the system works really well. However, I noticed that
the word and character count now only applies to individual child
documents. I can’t see the total count for the entire master document.
Is there a way to display the combined word or character count for
the master document including all child documents?
I’m quite sure the word count is performed on the loaded document in
memory, and the whole point of having child documents is to avoid
having to load all the parts of a large document into LyX at once.
Child documents are loaded into memory. So this is do-able. I've also
thought it would be useful.
This should be quite easy to do. I'll see if I can do it for 2.5.1.
(We're presently trying to get 2.5.0 out the door.)
