7b1107d7 introduced the following inconveniences which are regressions to 2.1:
* The citation dialog can open with vertical scroll bars in the options
* The citation dialog can open with horizontal scroll bars, especially if the
translated text is longer than the original text (e.g. in FR)
* Resizing the dialog is inconvenient because it increases the gap between the
options. This is unlike before when the dialog could let us see more of the
reference list when enlarging.
This is because the QToolbox that the above commit introduced is not natively
aware of the sizes of its page sub-widgets. The widget is not conceived for this
use, where the space is scarce.
Geometry values provided in the ui file (automatically computed by qtcreator I
suppose) somehow gave the illusion that it worked, but relying on such values is
not portable : it does not take into account the specific theme, font sizes and
localization. This explains why it failed on my side and will probably fail in
other settings too.
Luckily, there is a simple way to make QToolbox suitable for the current use,
which is to add the "missing link" which computes its size based on the minimal
sizes of its pages. The result looks very nice and intuitive. It solves all the
aforementioned issues.
The stmary font has an unusual large descent that was causing a large
gap between lines in the math delimiter dialog because of the \llbracket
and \rrbracket delimiters. The solution is to force Qt using the same
size for all elements of the QlistWidget widget instead of letting it
compute the size of each element.
This brings the external inset on par with the graphics insets as far as the
clipping option is concerned. The graphicxs package supports both: A bounding
box without units (which means that bp ia assumed), and a bounding box with
units, so we can simply output the values including the units.
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
This effectively makes the horizontal size policy "minimum", which
makes it clear that there is no advantage for this widget of
increasing the horizontal size past the minimum, allowing other
GUI elements to use the horizontal space if useful.
This change for caseCB is consistent with wordsCB and searchbackCB.
The horizontal size policy is now set to "MinimumExpanding", which
means that sizeHint() is enforced as a minimum, but that the widget
can make use of extra available space.
Before, the size policy was ignored, and often resulted in a
scrunched pane that had to have its size manually increased.
A new preference is introduced for allowing the record of the document
directory path in the saved file. Without explicit consent, it is not saved.
If the origin tag contains an invalid/wrong path or garbage, LyX behaves
exactly as before, i.e., included files are simply not found.
Building on cd8be655, we still allow viewing a produced PDF even if
there were compilation errors. However, now the user must click the
"Show Output Anyway" button in the LaTeX Errors dialog. The reason
is that before, there was a chance that the user would not realize
there was an error (because the PDF would be shown over the error
dialog). The approach in this commit makes it more clear that there
is an error.
A new LFUN is introduced, LFUN_BUFFER_VIEW_CACHE. It is useful not
just for the implementation of the "Show Output Anyway" button, but
also to show the last compiled version of a document, which can save
time if a document takes a long time to compile (e.g. heavy use of
knitr).
This variable was introduced to guard against any bad consequence of the then-new right-to-left
languages support. Let's be bold and get rid of it altogether!
Now right to left support is always enabled.
Maximizing the document settings window when on the modules pane,
the horizontal space is now given to the module names and so no
scrollbar is needed. Before, even when maximized, a scrollbar was
sometimes needed because the horizontal space was given to the
buttons in the middle, which did not provide an extra benefit.
The default sizeType was "Expanding" and is now changed to "Minimum"
for the horizontal spacer above the middle buttons.
