Today I installed QT4 dev tools and QT4 designer. But when I tried to open the file /lib/ui/default.ui it gave an error: "The file /lib/ui/default.ui is not a valid Designer UI file. Do you want to update the file location or generate a new form?" If you have any idea about this please mention. But I am still searching too.
These file are in our own format and describe menus and toolbars.
Could you please help me to understand what is an inset in this context? As I understood, inset is a container like thing that helps to insert different types of objects. Please correct me, as I am new to LyX.
Yes. It is anything that can be inserted as a character but is more than that. All the contents (tables, graphics, cross references, notes, ERT...) that you see in the text is an inset. Actually, the main text is in a text inset, but one does not see that on screen.
If we are going to implement the buttons, I think we need to indent a slight amount horizontally for one click? Is that the same idea that had in your mind? If the click on this button, shows us the end (edge) of the object, that would not be useful, as the user can be able to access each and every point of the too wide object. My suggestion is indent/slide 50% from the width of the screen per a click.
Or we could play with something that slide as long as the mouse is pressed (maybe with some accelleration abnd nice physics effects if we feel like it).
I think implementing the mechanism for moving the rows when cursor moves is the first thing to do, as this requires no UI. The toolbar/button will just have to hook on this code.
I suspect that this problem can be solved very easily (I mean in terms of number of lines of code to change, not in time needed to find the right place :). The idea is that an element of an inset should not have a width larger than the screen just because on element of the inset is overly large.I tried this. Is the 'legend' mentioned here is a label? Sorry, as I am still not familiar with the terms. What I did was, inserted a Label to the same float. As mentioned in the link you have given, a label with too long text is not fully visible and we cannot make it visible but using the mouse even. But this happens all the time, not only when Label exists in a float. Even when a label is inserted to the normal working area this problem remains.
I tried to create an example file (attached) and saw that this problem is already solved (try it). Unless someone can tell me what the problem is?
