Filter on 'Outline pane/Labels and references'. The Lyx file I was
working on has a lot of labels. So I used the filter on 'Outline
pane/Labels and reference' to single out some of the labels. For some
reason, the filter result includes the labels, but omits the
references for some of the labels. If I look at the full list of
labels, they all appear correctly with all their references. However,
when I apply a filter, the correct labels appear, but some of them
appear without their references.
Yes, confirmed. The filter works on the text that is displayed. So if I
open the User Guide and the label list, and type "Safety" in the filter,
then I get the one label "sec:Safety-Nets", and the references to it
vanish. If, by contrast, I type "2.2", then the label remains, with that
one reference.
I have been wondering about how the cross-references are displayed, and
whether "2.2", say, is really useful, rather than what we used to have,
which would be something like "Ref: sec:Safety-Nets".
As a user I find the "2.2" very useful -- it supports the workflow of
printing the document, marking it up, and then editing the LyX file
based on the marked-up printout. The alternative is using packages
like showkeys so that the printed document shows the keys as well, but
this can be a bit of a pain (in particular you need huge margins if
you have long keys), so the option to have LyX display the
cross-reference value is very helpful.
Those will continue to be available in the tooltips. You can also
activate "Format cross-references in the work area", and then that will
happen.
