I think I'd only do it in a 1.2 tree.
I guess I'd have to modify converters.C somewhere around line 643:
+ command = string("nice ") + command;
lyxerr[Debug::FILES] << "Calling " << command << endl;
if (buffer)
ShowMessage(buffer, _("Executing command:"), command);
Systemcalls::Starttype type = (dummy)
? Systemcalls::SystemDontWait : Systemcalls::System;
Systemcalls one;
int res;
if (conv.original_dir && buffer) {
Path p(buffer->filepath);
res = one.startscript(type, command);
} else
res = one.startscript(type, command);
But this would have the side effect of lowering the priority of LaTeX
runs, which we probably don't want.
Perhaps an extra argument to convert would be in order?
Converters::convert( <blah blah> , bool priority_nice = false )
if( priority_nice )
command = string("nice ") + command;
This would avoid disturbing existing calls to Converters::convert while
allowing the new behaviour to be triggered from the previewers in
insetgraphics.C: InsetGraphics::prepareFile()
static const bool use_priority_nice = true;
converters.convert(buf, params.filename, outfile, extension,
image_target,use_priority_nice);
or maybe an enum would be a better way to achieve the argument naming.
