Dear LyX developers, I am not a developer, only an ordinary LyX user that really love this program and use it regularly, so I do not know if my opinion count. I have not followed the details in the discussion about the embedding feature that bo implemented, but I have to say that I am very sad that it now is removed from the upcoming LyX 1.6 version.
For me as a LyX user, the embedding of external figures is one of the most wanted new features, and one of the features I really looked foreward to in the new version. That it now is removed is very bad. I hope that Bo Peng will return (maybe a simple "sorry" from some of the other developers will help?) and continue with his contributions to the LyX project. Especially to include the embedding feature in the LyX 1.6 version. Otherwise I hope someone else can implement the embedding feature. Please come back Bo. Regards, Andreas
