What matters most of all is a release. I understand that Windows release has been held up by extensive discussions over this issue of whether to include a dialog. This is a minor issue as few people read dialogs. Having a dialog is fine, and not having a dialog is fine. Not having a version available for Windows however is a major problem for users.
Also may I suggest that you upgrade your email list to a forum? It's unclear how to interact with this list without reading https://www.lyx.org/MailingLists<https://www.lyx.org/MailingLists#toc2> in detail in its entirety and even then it's not self-contained. Apologies for the complaints: I appreciate the work of the lyx developers and the new features in 2.3 sound great. Charles
