Based on Daniel Groger's work of five years ago, with minor changes
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel%40lists.lyx.org/msg169820.html
This extends the support for Xfig LaTeX + PDF to a more modern and
actively developed vector graphics editor. Embedded Objects manual
updated, also to include a workaround for an Inkscape 0.91 bug.
The external date inset was implemented as a demonstrator for external insets
in general. It was never intended for production code. Now that we have several
external insets defined we do not need the demonstrator anymore. This fixes
bugs #4398 and #9948.
The term LongTable has been deprecated and moreover the renaming makes the interface easier to the eye.
File format updated to 507. (conversion based on jamatos patch)
Layout format updated to 60.
tex2ylx tests updated.
Document EmbeddedObjects.lyx has been updated.
The current behaviour of the \origin parameter replaces relative file names
with the absolute original names if a document has been moved even if the
files have been moved as well. This behaviour is annoying e.g. for editing the
LyX docs in a git checkout.
Now file names are only replaced if the referenced file sdo not exist.
Also MacOSX ReadMe files. Note that a few lib/doc files are
also "updated" because trailing spaces are removed, but their file
formats are the same because they were recently updated at 83672113.
I did "git checkout LFUNs.lyx" because this file is generated
automatically and has a special header.
These were fixed manually. I tried to add an option to updatedocs.py to
open and save a file with LyX, but that did not work, since
lyx -x 'command-sequence buffer-write ; lyx-quit' does not write and does
not quit.
Since a while now we can translate the unit descriptions. For some special applications it is also necessary that the users know the LaTeX command of the relative units.
- also fix a typo in Customization.lyx
Being able to compile document with zipped .eps files was a useful feature of
the graphicxs package 20 years ago, but the LyX support is no longer relevant:
- The flag is ignored if preview is on
- If pdflatex is used then uncompressing happens during the compilation anyway
- If set, the flag prevents LyX from issuing proper error messages if
something with the image is wrong
- For hard disk capacities from 20 years ago not uncompressing is a useful
feature, but for current hard disk capacities it does not matter
- The external inset does not have it, and if we want to merge both insets
one day we would need to implement it there, which is even more difficult
than in InsetGraphics
