I have a parent document where I have defined macros. In the child

The compiled output (either from the child, or the parent), is
fine. However, the LyX preview for the equations using macros is
not correct. The macros are not expanded when the preview is
generated.
I thought that this was supported in LyX 1.6 (macros defined in
parent, used in child). Am I mistaken?
No, the preview does not support that (yet). I remember that I
looked into this problem. At that time there was a technical reason
that this very hard to implement, although I do not remember anymore
why.

I tried the test cases on the wiki page (http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/Macros#toc10
) and these macros expand appropriately. The only difference between
the test case on the wiki page and the problem I am seeing is the use
of parameters in the macros. The test macros from the wiki page do
not involve parameters while the ones I am using do involve parameters.
Is this going to be fixed in 1.6.1? This seems like an unfortunate
limitation - previews not working for macros involving parameters...
