Hi,
LyX is working great, and alpha4 is looking excellent.
First, a question. I can build 2.0-alpha4, and its additional features (like
the advanced search) nicely augment my install of 1.6 when I need ot use
them, but I'd like it to use a different local user config directory (i.e.,
not ~/.lyx), so that it doesn't overwrite the config files for 1.6. Is there
a build option for alpha4 that could change the name of the local user
config directory, say, to ~/.lyx-alpha4 ?
Now two feature questions about 2.0. Is there any possibility that the
advanced search might support wildcards? That way if a user needs to change,
say, x^{<letter>} to x_{<letter>} for various possible choices of <letter>,
the user could do it all in one go.
The math macro feature is great, especially the way it allows the user to
control how LyX displays the macro in its WYSIWYM onscreen editing mode. But
some packages (like the cancel package) include command sequences that write
over math text with a decoration, and LyX does not currently have a nice way
to display them; would it be possible to add internal LyX display support
for packages like this one? Even display support for the cancel package
alone would be excellent.
Thanks, and keep up the great work!
