Hi guys (and girls, if there are any reading),
Since you are munging the user layout and file formats right now, I would
like to repeat my request of a few months ago to change the name of
Insert->Figure to Insert->Graphic. The reasons are several:
1) A "figure" as defined by LaTeX does not require an EPS file. It is
simply a floating "thing".
2) LyX's current definition of "figure float" fits the more commonly
accepted English definition of a "figure".
3) With the new effort to handle non-EPS graphical formats, "figure" is
even more of a misnomer. "Graphic", "picture", or "image" would all be
more acceptable.
I would propose changing
Insert->Figure to Insert->Graphic
Insert->Tabular to Insert->Tabular Material
Insert->Floats->Figure Float to Insert->Floats->Figure
Insert->Floats->Table Float to Insert->Floats->Table
Insert->Floats->Wide Figure Float to Insert->Floats->Wide Figure
Insert->Floats->Wide Table Float to Insert->Floats->Wide Table
Insert->Floats->Algorithm Float to Insert->Floats->Algorithm
Please change this. I know it's only a trivial user interface issue, but
it's a blaringly obvious one. I'd like to move us from LaTeXese to
English.
Mike
P.S. And I'd be happy to change the documentation accordingly :-)
