The only issue I see right now is that one cannot set a multirow via the
dialog What else do you see that is not yet also in LyX 1.6.x?
Yes, but this issue is quite tricky. I'm not even sure it is solvable without
a complete rewrite of the tabular UI<-> Inset communication (i.e., introduce
InsetTabularParams). And it must be fixed for 2.0 of course.
We need Abdel's help here. He has imlemented the new Apply/OK scheme and I'm sure he knows a
solution. I mean it works for setting multicolumns so it should work also for multirows using the
same tabular UI <-> Inset communication. Abdel?
I had just a first deeper look into the current tabular code during the recent
days (where I fixed some issues), and I observed that the new stuff (e.g. the
mutlirow code) was not integrated properly in many respects. I really like to
have this cleaned up and working before adding even more complexity to the
code.
I currently see only the problem mentioned above now:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/Multirow
I think my patch doesn't increase the complexity a lot -- the edit field is only used when a cell is
multirow. Have you tested my patch? Maybe I have overseen something and if you find a bug or
regression. Then I will of course agree with you it is better to postpone.
(Without testing it is like judging a book by its cover ;-) )
Same critics come usually from the users. As it was my idea to support
multirow I'm responsible for that mistake and therefore want to fix this
missing part of the implementation. Putting this not in right now would
mean that users have to wait another year at least until multirows are
really usable without TeX-code.
Can it therefore go in?
I think I tested the patch carefully and it is moreover rather straight
forward.
As said, I would prefer to get the tabular dialog in shape before adding new
stuff. But this is just my personal opinion of course.
OK, lets wait for additional opinions.
thanks and regards
