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.
Good idea. Presumably, we could add some kind of additional test here,
or perhaps in configure, to set the necessary variable.
