I believe one cause of the problems we have with settings that get lost after
reconfigure is the following:
The settings are saved by Qt in a config file that is named from the LyX
version. Thus we get a new, empty config file after every version change, and
thus the toolbar changes etc. are lost.
Currently I have
juer...@whisper:~/lyx> ls ~/.config/LyX
LyX-1.6.0svn.conf LyX-1.6.2.conf LyX-1.6.3.conf LyX-1.6.4svn.conf
LyX-1.6.1svn.conf LyX-1.6.2svn.conf LyX-1.6.3svn.conf LyX-2.0.0svn.conf
I think it would make more sense to use the PACKAGE variable, i.e.
lyx[-version-suffix], as a config file name. Then session parameters would
persist over minor and even major version changes, and one still would have
separated configuration files for trunk and branch, if --with-version-suffix
is used (this is in line with the /.lyx vs. /.lyx-<version-suffix> directory
policy.
The attached patch does this change.
Abdel, is there any reason not to do this?
I can't see any :-)
