It works fine here (no crash yet). As for the previous versions (svn1
and svn2), the installer detects that I have the dictionaries installed
(English and French), but spell checking fails complaining:
The Spellchecker could not be started
No words list can be found for the language "en_US".
I see the same message in the console when I start lyx from there.
I couldn't reproduce this problem. Does Aspell work with your existing LyX 1.5
installation?
The other things I noticed may be related to LyX and my installation,
not the windows version in particular (although point 3 may be
windows-related):
1- I am not sure I fully understand how the full screen mode options are
supposed to work (I read the wiki page for Lyx 1.6, but I am still not
sure): As I understand it, the "Toggle" checkbox in the prefs
(scrollbar, tabbar, toolbar) set them "off" when checked and "on" when
unchecked (this looks an inverted logic to me BTW), and there is no
"automatic" mode to have them appear when the mouse is on the edge of
the screen. Right ?
That's what I also see. I must admit I also haven't understood how the toggling in case of the
fulscreen mode works.
2- I am not used to the instant preview mode (I do not really care about
my equations looking nice in lyx, I just want them to show the formula).
I tried but noticed that they get converted only after I enter them and
quit them. For a document with plenty of equations, it means I have to
go into each one manually. Is it supposed to be this way ? As I said, I
never use it, so it is not a problem.
I cannot confirm this. There is a known bug: When you turn on instant preview, you have to reload
the current opened LyX file to make the preview work. (This may take some seconds btw.)
3- pdf conversion issue. I make my graphics with Inkscape 0.46 and
export them as pdf (via Cairo). They have unconventional page size
(fitting the graphic, as a bounding box) and are displayed correctly in
adobe reader (v8), foxit reader, and gsview.
However, the display in LyX "kind of" maps them onto a Letter or A4
page.
This was a bug in Imagemagick. When you are using a recent Imagemagick version (at least version
6.3.8-11, the one that it installed when you install LyX 1.5.4 using my installer), this problem
shouldn't occur. When this doesn't fix your problem, could you send me by private mail a PDF wehre
you see the bug? I then guess it's a bug in the PDF handling of Inkscape.
