Jean-Marc,
what I really like about LyX are its interfaces. I think the .lyxpipe
is a great idea, and make extensive use of the custom export
command. What I would really appreciate are more customizable
interfaces, which let me happily pipe my stuff! I'd like to have about
five custom export commands, greyed out if not set up... Get things
less specific and more interchangeable...
As for the fax, the former solution wasn't ideal; I had problems to
automize reading and converting the fax addressbook for a system-wide
efax. But that didn't really matter. Of course my users can still
print to '-Pfax -J 1234567' (efax is able to print to lpr), but it's
less convenient for them. Just an example.
As for faxes printed to lpr, well, why should I use another GUI than
LyX when sending; and most Picture viewers can display the
fax-specific tiff format, so I don't need a Fax program for displaying
them either. I'd "really need" an addressbook in/for LyX that lets me
trigger a number of export functions of LyX, for faxes or various
stuff.
PS: Hope you don't mind the K.D.E. joke :)
