Hi,
- 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?
There were some bugs in the conversion routine that have since been
fixed...I hope. It turns out to be very difficult to get this right.
Please check the next released (or better yet compile from svn) and let
us know precisely what's not being converted. We'll try to fix it.
-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.
As Bennett said, this is a known issue, though maybe filing it in
bugzilla would help it not to get lost.
