You'd have to iron out bugs in this new code too... I know that the changes to LyX 1.3.6 were huge but we did *try* to keep them to a minimum, remember? Having said that, I do think that your proposal is elegant. Presumably the order in which these files would be read would be $LYX_USER_DIR/lyxrc.defaults $LYX_SYSTEM_DIR/preferences $LYX_USER_DIR/preferences ? Ie, lyx would read three preferences files, not two as now. Note that such a change would have an impact on the package.[Ch] code as we currently test for the presence of lyxrc.defaults. -- Angus
