Subject: 1.3.6 win continued


hello all
version 1.3.6 win is slower at startup, and its window position and size
at exit is still not memorized. can this be fixed? - would be great!
all in all, the installation took more time, with all the add-ons, than before...
thanks for the continuous effort and for the great program,
marco (zurich, switzerland)

Just so there is a balance of views on the list.......

I am not sure I agree with this (except the part about window position and size). I find that Lyx starts almost instantaniously now whereas before it took a noticeable amount of time.

As for installation time, well granted you have to install Python and MinSys (and Perl if you want to use ReLyx) but apart from that you don't have any additional install components and they both install rapidly. They also mean you don't have to faff about getting new versions of sed.exe, writing little command files to do things and then finally getting a working version of Lyx.

I would say efficiency wise the new version is far superior, but then I am on a 100Mbps connection so downloading is hardly a chore.
