No, not ditching it completely. But some external templates are really
graphic formats and it's confusing to have them appear elsewhere.
Also, chunks of the user interface are similar and could be merged.
Hello,
my last patch was attached to #5962:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/5962
http://www.lyx.org/trac/attachment/ticket/5962/lyx-create-external-material-v2.patch
It was not at all a merge of the two, but merely a single patch
addressing the same issue both in the external material and in the
graphics insertion dialogs (i.e., a new Edit/Create button -- even
though it doesn't behave exactly in the same way -- I wanted to keep
working on it but I couldn't find further time for that).
My last thoughts on this were along the line that, assuming it is
impossible to do an actual merge of the 2 functionalities because of the
too big impact on the current code (not to mention the file format),
especially compared to my availability of time, then I would just
replicate what I need in both of them (the Edit/Create button, which
also allows for automatic creation of the file by copying an empty
sample, when needed).
