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.

const_cast has to be used

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.
While cppcheck did not turn out any suspicious error messages, using
the "performance" flag highlighted several nitpicks in three categories
* do not use it++ for iterators, ++it is better
* do not use size() to test for emptyness, empty() is here
* do not use "const T" as a function parameter, "const & T" is better
I doubt that any of these is a real performance problem, but the code is cleaner anyway.
When there is a single document open, the tabbar gets hidden. The only and selected tab is still visible though as a break in the line delining the tabwidget. To fix this we paint the tabwidget ourselves and remove the presence of the hidden tab.
The check whether fname != oldname does not work for unnamed buffers.
Therefore, we check explicitly whether the Buffer that already exists with
the same name isn't really the buffer we are trying to save.
If no mask is supplied or the mask is attached to the end of the filename, we end up with unexpected names like
<system-temp-dir>\lyx_tmpdir.qHp780.vcr780_<mask>
instead of a temporary file in the lyx temporary directory like
<system-temp-dir>\lyx_tmpdir.qHp780\<mask>.vcr780.
The signature of the character in cache should take into account the
change tracking baseColor (author) and mergeColor (added/deleted). If not,
we will mixup different cached pixmaps.
Both bugs above were due to a missing screen update. This patch
updates the current view after dispatching a lyxserver command
and thus solves both.
The patch is quite strightforward and the only difficulty was due
to the fact that the lyxserver needs the result of the dispatched
command. Now, GuiApplication::dispatch(FuncRequest const &) does
right this, but does not return the result, while
GuiApplication::dispatch(FuncRequest const &, DispatchResult &)
is called by the former but does not return the result. So, I
split the first one, isolating the code performing the update,
such that the second one can also update the current view when
the caller is the lyx server. When the action is initiated by
anything different from the lyx server, the behavior is unchanged.
