* [QTBUG-34132] QFileDialog does no longer instantiate widgets if a
native dialog will be used instead. Therefore some accessors
which previously returned unused objects will now return null.
As before, you can set the DontUseNativeDialog option to ensure
that widgets will be created and used instead.
Seemingly, Qt uses native dialogs by default starting from version 5.2.0.
When trying to open a file dialog, LyX segfaults in release mode, whereas
Qt asserts in debug mode:
ASSERT failure in QList<T>::at: "index out of range",
file /usr/local/qt/5.2.0/include/QtCore/qlist.h, line 472
This is avoided by explicitly setting the DontUseNativeDialog option
in the code path selected by *not* setting USE_NATIVE_FILEDIALOG.
This option was introduced in Qt 4.5, which is the minimum required
for compiling LyX. So, it is not protected by a preprocessor macro.
LFUN_BUFFER_SAVE_AS has an optional argument where an initial format can be preset
This fixes:
* The remainder of bug #3402: Open Export As dialog when attempting to export to read-only directories
* Bug #8886: 'export as' should default to the default document output format
It is always a bad idea to compare a localized string. I think the whole method Formats::getFormatFromPrettyName (which is now unused) should be ditched. This is bound to fail.
In [19024f72\lyxgit] this line was removed. Later this caused that floats were converted to strings using ','s instead of '.'s. Readding this line fixes this.
Get the default language by a mix of QLocale and LyXRC::gui_language
Known limitations:
* encoding is supposed to be UTF-8 (the charset parameter is checked);
* context is not handled (implemented differently in LyX);
* plural forms not implemented (not used for now in LyX);.
* tThe byte endianness of the machine on which the .mo file have been
built is expected to be the same as the one of the machine where this
code is run.
(unless it's already there, in which case it should move to the end of the next paragraph).
Change the preference setting name (mac_like_word_movement to mac_like_cursor_movement)
to better reflect its function.
Patch and description from Bennett Helm
- InsetBox.cpp:
a framebox without inner box and without a width is \fbox
a framebox with inner box is also \fbox
a framebox without inner box and with width is \framebox
- GuiBox.cpp: the width checkbox must be checked if there is width
- this was forgotten to commit;
(without this we would get invalid LaTeX code when changing in the box dialog a makebox without a width to a minipage and press apply - a makebox required to specify a width, at least an invisible one like "0cm")
* InsetBox and GuiBox: Use proper empty length instead of the broken -9.99col% trick
* some slight changes to the logic of GuiBox to make sure that values are set as needed.
* lengthToWidget(): handle properly the empty length case. All the other related Qt helpers did it already, it was probably an oversight. Also set the default_unit parameter as optional (not needed in this patch actually, but I got carried away :)
* allow generating LaTeX code for an empty length, since some broken code does that.
If there is a new toolbar, it will not be restored by Qt and we need to
initialize it ourselves. However, it is not so easy to find out which
toolbars are restored by Qt and which are not. For this, the setVisible
function of GuiToolbar is 'misused'. If the visibility is set, the toolbar
must have been restored by Qt and we should leave it alone.
LyX uses QTemporaryFile to create a unique temporary directory. This
temporary directory will consist of two random characters and the process
identifier (PID).
Currently, the two random characters are often the same because Qt's
random generator was not seeded. If there are a lot of lyx temporary
directories accumulated, the chance of failing to find a unique temporary
directory is (N/100)%.
The temporary directories can be left behind if either LyX crashes, or
when a file in the temporary directory is opened in another viewer when
LyX closes. This can be a pdf that is viewed in a reader that disallows
the file to be removed while viewing it.
The default citation capability of LaTeX is not a true numerical
citation engine, rather it uses a mixture of labels/numbers. Thus
we now distinguish them: "numerical" always increments the bibitem
counter and uses its value as a numerical citation label, while
"default" only uses the bibitem counter when no label is provided.
LyX file format incremented to 471.
These should be used if any new style needs to be introduced in the stable
2.1 series: If the ForceLocal flag of the style is set, it will always be
written to the document header, so that even older 2.1 versions can read
and correctly output the document.
Reason for this 'cleanup' is the strange "optional = false" lines at the
end of the "case md_item" and "case md_subitem". Then, it is nicer to
directly use the value of the switch to be the running variable and to use
this to determine whether an item is optional and whether we should quit.
The panels in GuiDocument and GuiPrefs are stored in a map. The keys are
the translated descriptions of these panels. Whenever someone changes the
gui language and reopens the Document Settings pane, LyX asserted because
it could not find the "Child Documents" pane.
In commit bd9e8fecd the currentIndex of the FindAndReplaceAdv Pane was
changed from 0 to 1. Since then LyX crashed when requesting the pane or
when changing LyX preferences.
This patch reverts this, although it is not clear why it would crash
otherwise. It is still committed like this, because LyX is unusable
without.
View Source pane layout now automatically switches between horizontal
and vertical design when docked in vertical or horizontal way.
Original idea and patch from Edwin.

Note: the long standing-fight with too bulky minimal QTextEdit size
is now solved via ViewSourceUi.sizePolicy=Ignored.
This is mostly unused private class members.
There are also a few unused functions that got #if'ed out. I never know in this case whether the code should be nuked.
False positive rate of hints is quite high. Although the includes can be
technically removed (due to other includes) they logically belong to the
header.
each failure.
There are several places I was not sure what to do. These are marked
by comments beginning "LASSERT:" so they can be found easily. At the
moment, they are at:
Author.cpp:105: // LASSERT: What should we do here?
Author.cpp:121: // LASSERT: What should we do here?
Buffer.cpp:4525: // LASSERT: Is it safe to continue here, or should we just return?

LayoutFile.cpp:303: // LASSERT: Why would this fail?

The default sizeAdjustPolicy is AdjustToContentsOnFirstShow. As the
combobox is initially filled with all items, it will not change size if we
later remove the 'At Decimal Separator' item.
Before, if a user had "Group" checked in GuiRef and double-clicked
on a category, that category would be inserted as a (broken)
reference. Now, when a category is double-clicked, nothing happens.
If a label starts with ':' and 'Group' is checked,
the label is now shown under "<No prefix>" instead of
not shown.
Note that labels starting with ':' can be valid in LaTeX.
If "Group" is checked, "<No prefix>" is shown only if there exists a
label with no prefix. Before, it was shown even when it was empty and
even when there were no labels at all.
As discussed on the list. No automatic contents detection is done, the user
needs to use the special paste menu instead. I used the new TempFile class
for safe temporary file handling.
The documentation would go into section 2.2 of UserGuide.lyx, but I am not
allowed to edit that document.
The HTML export is now mature enough so that it can be used to transfer
formatted text to the clipboard. This enhances interoperability e.g. with
office applications.
We only need to sort the formats when it is really necessary, i.e. for GUI
purposes.
This also prevents 11000 requests for translation everytime the toolbars
are updated.
- fileformat change
- it was a pity that LyX did not yet support a simple rectangular frame without a defined width but LyX did this for e.g. oval frames
- \fbox and \mbox often occur in TeX files and can now be imported
Before, it was done on editingFinished(). The new behavior is more
intuitive because it is easier for the user to see how editing the box
is connected with enabling/disabling the other widgets. Before, the user
would not get instant feedback and would have to click away before the
connection is revealed. This new behavior is less efficient, however,
because checkEnabled() is called after every keystroke.
- Use the LyX name of encodings instead of the LaTeX names.
The LyX name must be unique, while the name used by LaTeX
not necessarily, e.g. different packages might implement
support for the same encoding.
- Rename koi8 to koi8-r, so that the LyX and LaTeX names match.
- Rename euc-jp-plain to euc-jp-platex, jis-plain to jis-platex
and shift-jis-plain to shift-jis-platex.
- Add utf8-platex encoding (fixes#8408).
LyX file format incremented to 463.
At this moment we do not allow comparison between arbitrary hashes,
but except GUI the code is ready.
Thanks to the powerful way of git addressing we could even ask
for comparisons like '-2 weeks back' if someone wants to play
with GuiCompareHistory.
The advantage of having this in LyX is the intelligent file name handling
of included files. Implementation as discussed on the list, but ensure also
that an attempt to use locked files fails.
It is not possible to transport the different error/abort/success conditions
of a VCS checkin through a simple empty or nonempty string. Therefore it was
no wonder that the return values were used inconsistently for different VCS.
Now the log and return status are decoupled, and all VCS are handled
consistently. This is a prerequisite for proper locking detection of the
upcoming rename command.
* some functionality is in new modules now
new header locations and library names: QtConcurrent and QtWidgets
* method setResizeMode is renamed to setSectionResizeMode
* deprecated QAbstractItemModel::reset() is dropped now
* platform specific code like QApplication::syncX() is not common anymore
* QString::fromAscii() is dropped now
* some QDesktopServices methods has been moved to QStandardPaths
Most images are generated by development/tools/generate_symbols_images.py, but
some were drawn manually. Now there is no image missing from the ones the
script can generate.
These encodings were not defined, since they must not be used as document
encodings (the characters {, } and \ may appear in high bytes, and latex
would be confused). However, they are supported by CJK.sty (which uses a
preprocessor to circumvent the limitations of the latex executable). These
encodings are now defined, but used for import in tex2lyx only.
The test case CJK.tex contained fake tests for shift-jis and big5 (the
japanese and chinese characters were entered using the utf8 encoding), and
therefore the wrong interpretation of these encoding looked as if it worked.
The comments about missing iconv support of shift-jis and big5 were wrong as
well (otherwise shift-jis-plain would not work either).
The fix is basically mechanical, the additional code for fraction like insets
with three arguments was stolen from \unitfrac. As any math package,
stackrel.sty needs a buffer parameter to switch it off.
I also added the two stackrel flavours to the toolbar.
These are all generated by development/tools/generate_symbols_images.py, the
only manual adjustments were renamings due to case sensitive file systems on
windows.
stmaryrd.sty sets these symbols up as variable size math delimiters (i.e.
they may be used with \left and \right). Now LyX knows about that and offers
them in the delimiter dialog as well as single symbols.
The stmaryrd package adds support for lots of math symbols, using a font
designed to accompany the computer modern fonts. The changes in detail:
- Fix generate_symbols_list.py to work with stmaryrd.sty. It loooks like it
was automatically translated from a perl version and never used.
- Generate the new symbols in lib/symbols using generate_symbols_list.py and
add some manual adjustments
- Generate stmary10.ttf by a simple ttf export from stmary10.sfd with fontforge
- Add license info for stmary10.ttf
- Create a test file with all symbols from stmaryrd.sty. Actually it would be
nice to have this for the other fonts as well.
- The mechanics: lyx2lyx, tex2lyx, font machinery etc.
This patch puts all projects into subfolders (at least for MSVS). In this
way, there is a better overview (especially if the number of test projects
will be increasing).
Both cvs and svn are able to retrieve non-existing files from repository,
but this was only implemented for rcs. This is a prerequisite for the
planned move and copy VCV operations. I also improved error schecking and
used extractFromVC() also for files specified on the command line if they
do not exist (in GUI mode, it was already the case in non-GUI mode).
buffer-forall only takes one parameter now, which is the LFUN to
dispatch on all non-hidden buffers. A hidden buffer is defined as being
internally open in LyX, but not visible in any window (view).
Thanks, JMarc.
The obnoxious messages in Private::setFilter cover any message set by lyx::dispatch. The solution I chose is to return early when the filter is not changed.
If this makes sense, then the same optimization should be added to CategorizedCombo, IMO.
This adds an optional 'set' argument to the language lfun and reintroduces toggling.
Additions by me reintroduce the possibility to reset to the document language via 'language reset' or just 'language'
This might encourage users to post this information when reporting bugs
and sometimes it's useful to be able to copy the paths of the Library
and User directories.
If the WA is the last one showing a buffer, then the buffer may either be
closed or kept hidden, or the user is asked. The behaviour is controlled
by a new preference option.

With non-TeX fonts, you can select a 'Non-TeX Font Default' math font, which simply loads unicode-math without actually selecting a math font, this then uses the default math otf font, currently Latin Modern. Other fonts still need to be set manually in the preamble, via \setmathfont.
The implementation suppresses unneeded package requests from unicodesymbols, but the output still uses macros instead of full unicode (both is possible with unicode-math).
The whole thing is a proof of concept, and it needs to be tested. I have tested it with the math manual, which compiles and seems to display correctly if I remove some hardcoded package loadings. OTOH I have not much experience with math.
This addresses #7449 partly.
In 0aead96461 it was introduced that the toolbar popup menu buttons are not
initialized until they are being used (i.e. pressed at for the first
time). As a consequence, these buttons are always enabled on start. Now
that we have the sticky button for view and update, I'm now annoyed by
this every time I start LyX.
This addresses #6543 by adding an option to prevent fonts such as Palatino and Times to automatically adapt the math font (IOW it lets you load the text font only for a bunch of fonts where this is easily possible).
Furthermore it adds an interface to select a specific math font, which is defined in latexfonts. Currently, this is only euler (the only one I know), but if there are other math-only tex fonts, they can be added easily (but note that this changes the file format).
Non-TeX math fonts are not yet supported. Eventually, unicode-math support can use the existing UI, but this is not on my agenda.
The LaTeX font now do not specify simply alternative packages or packages for OT1 encoding etc., but they refer to complete AltFonts (which are not directly accessible via the GUI). This way, alternative fonts can also have options (osf, sc etc.), and they can use all sorts of initializing methods (\usepackage, \setrmfamily etc.).
GuiTabular.cpp: a cell can either be a multicolumn or multirow, not both the same time, this is already respected by the toolbar and context menu, only the dialog allowed to set this although this was correctly never applied
should also go to branch
The stderr message "Object::disconnect: Unexpected null parameter"
often appeared when closing and opening buffers.
GuiView::on_currentWorkAreaChanged should not pass a null pointer
to Object::disconnect.
Fixes 2 issues:
1. LyX uses for a decimal alignment a multicolumn and having for a cell a multicolumn _and_ a multirow is invalid LaTeX.
2. It was impossible to unset a decimal alignment via the context menu or toolbar button.
The previous scheme of loading all possible translations and checking
whether the work is a bit too much "brute force" and causes problems
on Mac OS X (documents loaded with the wrong language).
Now there is an helper static method in Messages class that checks
whether a readable .mo file exist for the language. There should be an
API in gettext for doing that, but alas it is not possible.
As a consequence the method Language::translated() has been removed,
along with its cache.
In order to interact with native osx applications, AppleScript support is a plus.
Here is a patch that makes LyX respond to a simple command (run) and that allows to communicate with LyX as with the LyX client.
Example of use:
tell application "LyX" to run "server-get-filename" with argument ""'
returns
message:/Users/bpiwowar/newfile1.lyx, code:0
with a message and the error code
The LaTeX font information are now centralized and outsourced. This removes a lot of hardcoding and duplication and makes it easier to support new LaTeX fonts.
The code does a reload on the buffer to avoid loose pointers if the
file changes directory. This commit adds a bool parameter to
Buffer::reload to allow for keeping the undo stack intact. This is of
couse only wanted in this case, not when reloading an earlier version
of the file.
The goal here is to get rid of the old code that modified variables
LANGUAGE and LC_ALL, therefore creating the problems mentionned
in the ticket.
In the new system, there is no explicit "GUI" message handler, that
needs to be reset at each language change. Instead, getGuiMessages
calls getMessages with the correct parameter. This allows to simplify
greatly the code and to remove a lot of old cruft.
The idea is to record undo at the place where the document is modified:
1/ in Buffer::updateBuffer, add a recordUndo, with the caveat that a
const_cast has to be used (because updateBuffer is const but
modifies the document, go figure).
2/ in GuiApplication::dispatch, add an extra undo group that
encompasses the updateBuffer call. Some other undo groups may be
redundant now, but it is not a problem since they do not cost
anything.
This allows to workaround the problem in #8198 - on some systems
we get dead caron as a single character instead of whole combined
character. I suppose this has rather something to do with X settings
than LyX per se.
In this version, the idea is to record undo at the place where the document is modified, which is definitely cleaner.
1/ in Buffer::updateBuffer, add a recordUndo, with the caveat that a
const_cast has to be used
2/ in GuiApplication::dispatch, add an extra undo group that
encompasses the updateBuffer call. Some other undo groups may be
redundant now, but it is not a problem since they do not cost
anything.
http://marc.info/?l=lyx-devel&m=133876924408431&w=2
The problem here is that the copy_params() routine in FindAndReplace.cpp
created a new DocumentClass, but it never updated its Buffer to reflect
that new DocumentClass. So its Paragraphs still contained points to the
Layouts in the old DocumentClass which, since ead697d4b6, gets garbage
collected once it is no longer needed. So the Layout doesn't exist, and
we crash.
