There seems to be a lot of unhappiness about the autosave problem on
Snow Leopard. Is it worth some kind of emergency release of current
branch for that platform, or of 1.6.4 with the patch that allows
disabling of autosave?
And Bennett, I know nothing about Mac packaging. So: Is it possible to
detect if you are on Snow Leopard and if so install the package with
autosave turned off by default?
I would rather autosave without forking. There is a "#if HAVE_FORK" in
the code. If this is not defined, LyX does not fork before autosaving.
The drawback is a slight delay when typing, but this is the same
behaviour as on Windows and I have not heard anyone complaining.
