The mhchem package treats the caret both as a shorthand for \uparrow or
as a superscript operator according to whether it is surrounded by
spaces or not. The \ce and \cf insets allow inserting spaces but there
is no provision for inserting a space after the caret, which is always
considered by LyX as a superscript operator. The solution here is to
insert a space after the caret if the superscript is empty or an empty
brace inset.
Mathed does not allow empty superscripts, so an empty brace has to be
inserted when working in LyX. On the other hand, when importing latex
code, an empty superscript is retained.
This has no effect whatsoever for normal latex code, as a space after
the caret is ignored. In any case, the output is only changed if an
empty brace inset is used as superscript. Specifically, the output is
changed from "^{{}}" to "^ {}".
The code in DocIterator::sanitize now follows more closely the
previous StableDocIterator::asDocIterator code. In particular, it adds
the slices one by one, since fixIfBroken will chop the cursor
otherwise.
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
This bug occur only at certain Qt versions and systems and we do
not really understand what is going on.
Quoting Stephan - the parent path of "." e.g. never should be ".".
The inconsistency between the name of FileName and the internal QFileInfo
state looks very dangerous.
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.
Normally, we do not load babel when English is the only language. However, if we check if babel is used from Font::validate, we need to surpass this test, else no secondary language is registered if English is the main language.
