Uwe, I really, really wish you lots and lots of luck with your new
installer. It's going to have to cope with some weird and wonderful
adventures, not just mild ones. ;-)
(I have many stress testers now who help me a lot of fixing wierd problems.)
I avoid these problems by deleting LyX's old config folders in
~\Application Data when my installer starts. OK this is not the fine way
but there is no real reason why this could harm.
(The default working directory is a different folder)
I've just tested your new version and mentioned the following things:
- Nobody updated the 1.3 CVS-branch of the lyx2lyx files. Could you do
this please?
- The "Credits" file is also not updated in the 1.3 CVS-branch.
- The new qt-mt3.dll is 2MB larger than the one that is shipped with
LyXWin 1.3.6-1. What's the reason?
- LyX 1.3.7 comes with new hungarian translations but you can't choose
this language in your installer version. I'll send you a patch soon.
- I changed the checks for installed programs like Adobe Reader and
GSview to fix some user reported bugs. Should I send you the changes
to be included to your installer?
- It seems that the TeXLive distribution doesn't include epstopdf so
that we need to change to ps2pdf14 also for Windows. I'll inform you
what exactly needs to be done.
- I got a bug report that LyXWin don't work when the computer user name
contains umlauts or accents (dv2dt erors). Perhaps we will never fix
this but we should mention it in the official readmes.
Happily, the new qt module correctly identifies screen fonts.
Indeed, but is is OK when I set the default typewriter font manually to
"Courier New" instead of "Courier"? This was requested by Asger because
"Courier New" is not a bitmap font like "Courier".
I'll pack your actual LyX 1.3.7pre4 version to a new installer release.
best regards Uwe
