Re: LyX 1.4.0pre3 on Linux - first impressions

With your help, I found the solution of the problem: it arose because I had a .lyx folder from lyx 1.3 in my directory, and it was incompatible with the new version. By renaming it .lyx1, I had no more problem. Pehaps it would be useful to change the name of .lyx for the new version. Note that I think you can specify a startup directory yourself with a script containing this: lyx -userdir .lyx-140 Thank you to all of you who give me an answer! A.Leroux
Re: copying and pasting a LyX environment? (like Word's Format Painter)

This is more or less what I was thinking of -- something similar to the Apply function in the paragraph and character menus: you choose a new parameter (such as subparagraph), select a section to be changed (or in the case of a single line, simple place the cursor somewhere on it) and click something to apply the new parameter. The method you describe sounds equally (perhaps more) useful. This functionality could be implemneted in the Navigate menu in the Qt frontend: Make the menu a list view, allowm multiple selection, create and connect actions to movce things a level in or out. I was thinking about modifying the TOC dialog to do exactly this: allow moving a section and all it's dependencies to any upper or lower node you want. The TOC could even become a dock widget on the left "a la MSWord" and allow on-the-fly updating. Do you reckon the Navigate-Menu code is cleaner for this? Could be extended to shift whole sections up and down. I guess we could re-use cut&paste for this, couldn't we? Less than 200 lines for the in/out part I'd bet. Once you know what to do, it's always short to implement it ;-) Abdel. Andre'

Helge Hafting Hum, right now it's impossible to build 1.4cvs with mingw because of automake change. Thanks god I haven't reconfigured since before the change. AFAIK, the only solution would be to deliver source snapshot with already generated Makefiles. Maybe it is already available somewhere? Abdel.

Hmm... I do not remember seeing a report about that. Angus reported it but I have to admit that I didn't even tried... http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/51211/match=automake+1+9+mingw
2 column nomenclature
hi, I need to have my nomenclature in 2 columns,that is two nomenclature entries per row, in a smaller font and with borders around them (like a table). I managed to have subgrouping put got stuck with the above. Any thoughts? Thanks. Bahy
