LaTeX lengths must not use scientific notation, since the + sign has a
different meaning (glue lengths). This is the export part of bug 9416, the GUI
part is still not fixed.
The "save-as" part of the bug is fixed by extending the \textclass tag
such that, if a local layout file is used, its path relative to the
document directory is now stored together with the name. If a relative
path cannot be used, an absolute one is used but, in this case, the
document is not usable on a different platform.
The "copy" part is fixed by introducing a new \origin tag, which is
written when the file is saved. This tag stores the absolute path of
the document directory. If the document is manually copied to a
different location, the local layout file is retrivied by using
\origin (which is only updated on save).
This new tag may prove useful also for locating other files when the
document is manually moved to a different directory.
As in the original implementation the files needed for the layout
(for example, a latex class) had to be in the same directory as the
layout file, this directory has also to be added to TEXINPUTS.
We claim that gcc 4.x is needed in INSTALL, so it does not make sense to keep
this old stuff. Instead, I made configure output an error if gcc is too old.
The command "paste pdf" was always disabled because the
condition in the following "if" statement always returns false
if (arg == "pdf" && (type = Clipboard::PdfGraphicsType))
The value of "type" is zero in this case because PdfGraphicsType is
the first enum value (and it is not set explicitly to non-zero).
An alternative patch is to put AnyGraphicsType as the first
element of enum GraphicsType, or to set the first element to a
number greater than 0.
To test the bug that this commit fixes, either copy a PDF and try to
paste with the action "paste pdf", or click on the "Edit" menu and
notice (before this commit) the terminal output "Unrecognized
graphics type: pdf".
