1. Under Language Settings->Language there is now a default length unit.
What is this used for?
It is used in all length combos as the default, if the object in question
(inset etc.) does by itself not define a different default. See for
instance Graphics, Tabular. It is also the default length if you change for
instance a hspace via context menu to "custom", etc.
Thanks for the explanation.
There are 2 issues with this feature:
- when I install LyX 2.1RC1 (fresh installation without any previous preferences) I see in the
preferences that the unit is CM. But when I insert e.g. a horizontal space and set a custom length
the default unit is BP. The it CM is first used if I change it in the preferences, save and revert
the modification back to CM. I filed a bug about this:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9053
- one can only choose CM or IN as default unit. Why not e.g. MM or PT?
