Not at all. I got included on a bugzilla bug report. Anyway, John and I have been saying how we should have a single clean interface to fork() for ages. This is just a possible road map to that goal. > What about moving the interface dialogs <-> core to LFUNs? I'm off to New York tomorrow... This is what I plan to do on my return. The LyX Server ============= 1. Learn about pipes and sockets using some stand-alone code to experiment with. I have written said stand-alone code (implementing a Controller-View split, naturally ;-). It currently uses open(), close(), read() and write() for communication. 2. Implement NamedPipeStream and NamedSocketStream using said stand-alone code. 3. Slot NamedSocketStream into the LyX Server. Dialogs and LFUNs ================ 1. Implement LFUN_INSET_TO_LYXSERVER 2. Implement LFUN_INSET_CREATE and be able to invoke it from the LyX server. 3. Implement LFUN_INSET_MODIFY and ditto. This still needs some thing about (how to find the inset efficiently...) 4. Once this is working, then use LFUN_INSET_CREATE, LFUN_INSET_MODIFY in the frontend controllers. At this point I can also strip out many crappy, half-baked LFUNs 5. Implement LFUN_INSET_DIALOG_OPEN and LFUN_INSET_DIALOG_CLOSE. Again, this needs some thinking about as it's new functionality. 6. Further the Controllers clean-up. This will be much easier once the above is realised.

I know almost nothing about FormTabular other than blanching at the prospect of splitting it into a Controller and a View. It's a horrible bloated pile of shit. Angus
