Discussion of bug 3215
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3215
revealed some problems with the current UI in the graphics dialog.
Attached is a screenshot of an idea for a new organization. The "Set
width" and "Set height" checkboxes are enabled only when "Scale graphic"
is not; when they are themselves unchecked, "auto" appears in the
(disabled) text edit box where the length should go. The checkbox marked
"Maintain aspect ratio" is enabled only if BOTH setWidth and setHeight
are enabled, since that's the only time it has any effect, and it gets a
nice explanatory tooltip.
The red color on "Set height" wouldn't be there in the final product. (I
need to use a new validator to handle this. Speaking of which, anyone
object to making addCheckedLineEdit take a QWidget instead of a QLabel?
That makes for the simplest solution, since the "label" in this case is
a QCheckBox.) I'm also not sure why the % sign in the "Scale graphic"
line is cut off, but I had that problem before, anyway. Advice welcome.
Comments?
