Not really a simplification of the use of LyX, is it?
I think it is, actually. Half as many menu entries and less key bindings. Come to think of it, how come only DVI and PS have keyboard shortcuts? Are we all supposed to bind our favourite PDF method or could there be a default one chosen for a shortcut (to aid newbies in choosing one for example)? If you closed the old preview, no change in behaviour. After the first time the dialogue appears, you either get your favourite action from now on, or you get asked each time the existing preview is open. This is very much like the UI of other popular apps. With shortcuts for the buttons on the dialogue, this is speedy from the keyboard too. (replace an extra shift modifier with a trailing Enter etc.) Perhaps there can be a statement next to the "Don't ask me again" box which lets you know the setting can be changed later in the appropriate configuration dialogue. Have fun, Darren
