to give you wider overview, i have been asking about must-have new features for 2.0 each month from early spring and formally closed the gates by beta1, so little bit late... > I think implementing Python scripting [1] wouldn't be that difficult, as all > the functionalities (event notification, commands, response and errors) are > already implemented in the LyX server [2]. hard to say unless one sees the code. there is often quite a gap between "something which works" and something which is accepted as a sane code included into the tree, lets see the other patch ;) > Maybe I can take care of this, if you're interested, this is a long time request for which you could even find bug number, so even if this is not part of 2.0 it has good potential to be included later. as a first step i would recommend to discuss your vision of 'scripting support' here on the list. >even if I know new users shouldn't try to implemnt new features, who told you? iirc adv search and adv math macros appeared this way... > I hope in your support because this is probably one of those features which > could attract a lot of interest in LyX. as said this has pretty good chance to get support, but for 2.0 i would like that our effort now goes mainly on fixing bugs. and dont get me wrong, you are welcomed here! not so often somebody asks for something and provides patch ;) pavel
