Hi, I've just been testing beta4 on a mac os 10.4
- subfigures- I am currently writing a thesis and have been using subfigures extensively. I actually liked the method in 1.5 (despite the drawbacks) namely for its simplicity. I guess I was only using it to keep track of the (a), (b)... labels and that it was faster to select the subfigure option than any other way to neat little (a) and (b). Now the more advanced subfigure package is supported it seems no backward support is offered for the old system, which means I have lost all my (a)'s, (b)'s and (c)'s etc. Any chance of still including the old method as a hidden alternative or do you think someone could write a macro to convert the old subfigures to the new format? -lables renaming- I often comment out text which I don't think I need, but don't want to delete. To do this I select the text, including any figures or sections and labels, and click the note button. If I decide I want the text and desolve the note then LyX thinks that it has found a duplicate of the labels and renames them. This problem also occurs of course if I just copy and past some of the commented out text back into my main text again. Perhaps LyX should *ask* whether it should change the label and even give the option for the user to create an alternative name themselves? Otherwise I would suggest that LyX does not recognise a commented out label, which is probably best because a user might be tempted to link to it resulting in a broken reference in their pdf. -the wheel of doom- This is not specific to beta4. Is there any way that when a document is compiled that the GUI can continue running uninterrupted? You know, without showing the wheel of doom with a mac, or the dreaded hour glass on wondoze? Even one chapter can take an age to compile and sometimes I need to check if a table etc looks ok when it is compiled. It would be nice to continue working while the LaTeX compiler does its thing. Cheers, Chris.
