LyX is great in many ways. However, there is one thing that I really, really miss... I write papers and notes that contain a mixture of math and computer code/simulation results.
First: for the "LyX: Graphics" window (double-click on inserted graphics), there is a "LaTeX and LyX options" tab which holds a section on "Graphics Group". This is a super feature, and allows me to create a new, named group. Thus, if I import a new graphics and assign the graphics to a named group (e.g., "MATLAB plot"), I can later on change the features of one plot within this named group, and... presto... all the graphics with the same named group are changed to adhere to this new setting. Settings include: Scale on screen (i.e., within LyX), and Scale graphics (i.e., in the produced PDF file). This is a very important feature to achieve *consistency* in the document. Second: a Program Listing object has many, many more settings than the Graphics object. It would be *very useful* with a similar possibility to create "named group" for Program Listings, so that I can assing a program listing to such a named group. The way it is now, it is virtually impossible to ensure a consistent document wrt. Program Listing. Yes, it is possible to create a dummy document with a tailor made program listing, and copy+paste from this document. That way, I can get consisting layout of the document. But if I later have to change the program listing, e.g., remove line numbering, I'm in trouble again. -- Anyway, my wish is thus: introduce named group for every object possible, in particular for Program Listing. -B
