Hi, thanks Enrico & Pavel, hopefully all comments integrated in the pushed version.
There's a couple of TODOs left: 1. versioning of the preferences file, I don't know much in this area, the patch adds a couple of preferences options, what else is needed? 2. persistent storage of the auth_files strings set; my first pick would be a simple text file in the user's .lyx/ folder with one file-name per line. Any comments to the above? Thanks, T.
