I have the problem that LyX 1.4.2 doesn't use the settings written by
configure.py to lyxrc.defaults.
As I'm on Windows I added the correct names of the win executables to
configure.py. My configure.py contains the line:
path, ie = checkViewer('a raster image editor', ['gimp', 'gimp-2.2',
'gimp-2.4', 'photoshop', 'mspaint'])
When I reconfigure LyX, gimp-2.2 is correctly recognized (I also added
Gimp's path to the file lyxrc.dist to achieve this) and LyX tells me
that I have to restart LyX to use the new settings.
When I click OK but don't restart, I can see in the preferences, that
gimp-2.2 is correctly set as editor of PNG-files. Fine so far but when I
restart LyX, the preferences tell me that "auto" is set as editor of
PNG-files.
The file lyxrc.defaults created by configure.py correctly contains
gimp-2.2 as editor:
\Format png png PNG "" "auto" "gimp-2.2"
So why does LyX not use this setting?
Btw. this bug does not occur for PGM-images, where gimp-2.2 remains
after the restart of LyX - strange.
Could anybody help me?
Thanks in advance and regards
Uwe
