But it's very puzzling. It seems that OSX is refusing to fork()
without an immediate exec(), which makes fork() almost useless to
us in this case.
If that's right, then I think we have to treat OSX as Windows,
pretty much as Vincent suggested.
Or, we could implement a proper way. It is annoying that LyX seems to
sleep for a second while autosaving (although I'm now the first
complaining about that).
It is then needed to create a new thread, copy the buffer, do the
autosave. This would then improve the situation on MacOs and
Windows. As
a bonus, we would get rid of some os-specific code, and differences
between LyXes.
Right. I recommend to use QtConcurrent::run(). It works almost like
a fork but uses thread and is cross-platform and very easy to use.
