I don't think we should change such basic UI stuff like insets. The way we handle them is well
accepted by the users and in my opinion an important part of the success of the UI concept of LyX.
So please leave it as it is, according to my arguments above.
A document with lots of index entries occupies way too much real
estate. We discussed this in extenso: this is the reason to lose the
button.
I missed this discussion, but anyway, we should listen to the users. I'm following the lyx-users
list and introduced LyX to many people and never heard that anybody complained about labels. When an
experienced user really prefers not to have a label for certain insets, then he can change it for
his installation as he can change the toolbars and their buttons.
For ERT I agree to Richard that the minimal style is useful as you alwayss need to know for ERT the
content.
Concerning the Index label, it is only 3 characters wide, so not problem with space. And normally
you have index entries in a collapsed inset since you don't really want to see code like:
Currency Symbols!\see|[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Having a collapsed inset behind a word or a symbol is clear that this word is in 99.9% of the cases
the word that is in the index. This was the output of an discussion where I requested to pop up the
index dialog when inserting an index entry. So before we change anything here, our indexing experts
like Jürgen should state their opinions.
Same (depending on your writing style, even more) for branches.
Especially for branches I don't agree. Having the name of the branch in a label is very important,
at least when I work with branches, as I had the case with 6 branches and I need to see at the first
look what is what and not be forced to use the mouse to hover over insets to get their meaning.
So to repeat myself, please reflect yourself and imagine you are an average LyX user not knowing all
the tricks and expert stuff we developers know. (Last week I gave a LyX introduction and again
noticed that newbies interact with LyX different to how I do. It's good to be reset from time to
time to an average LyX niveau.)
