> Each time I view/export a PDF, LyX freezes for several seconds while > the document generates. This is bug #412. > http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/412 > > Why doesn't LyX simply perform the export in a separate thread instead > of locking the UI? > > I'm really surprised that this bug has remained open for 8 years with > priority "low" and severity "minor." Locking the UI seems like a > mortal sin. (Could you imagine a web browser that completely locks up > while webpages load?) > > I wrote a bash script to monitor a .lyx file for changes and perform a > command line export. That way, whenever I hit "save" the export > pleasantly runs in the background. Surely there is a better way to > achieve the same effect. > > This bug has been bothering me (and also apparently Uwe) for a very > long time, and I was hoping that we could do something we can do about > it. There seems to have been some work towards a progress indicator. > However, implementing a progress indicator seems like a separate > project. > > I'd love to hear what others think. Thanks! > > -Ben Could you please try your big document with the actual trunk version of Lyx? Has it become better with the recent changes?
