Hi developers, The problem: When I wrote my thesis it was helpful for me to include the full path of the images as they would be located throughout my computer together with notes and the macros that generated them. Thus, if I wanted to update a plot I could easily locate the macro, which I saved

nearest to the courser in the LyX document. This way one could preview collapsed figures without temporally uncollapsing one to see what it is. Cheers, Chris. -- Christopher Reeve Recommends www.last.fm - personal online radio www.lyx.org - LaTeX word processor www.inkscape.org - vector graphics

Hi Richard, Did you get a chance to look at the back-support of the sub-figure option? Just tried rc3 and it still does not display my images correctly. Cheers, Chris. 2008/8/15 rgheck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Christopher Reeve wrote: > >> Hi Richard, >> I'm just

Great. I pleased that you are interested in resolving these. I like the idea of being able to preview snippets of a document. No one has said anything yet about offering some support for the old subfigure method. This will be the critical issue that decides whether I'll update to 1.6 during my the

I love the feature of the Insert cross-reference tool which enables one to copy and paste the label directly into the field rather than looking it up. With a document with hundreds of figures it is far easier (and certainly more reliable) to go to the figure and copy the label and paste it into
