Setting the default working directory to '.' is an invasive change
on Mac and Windows, where the current working directory of LyX when
LyX is started from the GUI is not a reasonable choice for the
default directory in e.g. the "save as" file dialog or the "open"
dialog. A similar situation could happen on Linux distributions (I'm
not aware of any, e.g., POSIX standard that defines that the working
directory of a binary started from GUI should be the home
directory). Thus, it is not clear this default is good on any
platform.
If the user wishes to have the behavior of '.', the description in
the "paths" preferences pane provides the information for making the
change.

This reverts commit 892593fbdc.
Starting with Qt 5.6, setting the environment variable QT_SCALE_FACTOR
makes everything accordingly bigger. So, if QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.2, all
text and GUI elements are rendered 20% bigger. However, if an application
does not account for this, everything will also look "blocky".
With this commit, all text and images will be scaled remaining sharp.
This works whether a HiDpi screen is used or not, but is mostly useful
with a HiDpi screen, as all GUI elements are more spaced apart and one
can use the mouse for selecting things without requiring a high precision.
Note that the lyxrc.document_path variable corresponds to what we
call the "Working directory" in the GUI preferences dialog.
Setting document_path to "." makes it so when LyX is started from a
directory, that directory is the default path for many of LyX's
operations, such as the following:
- new file, new from template
- adding a custom BibTeX file
- GUI compare dialog
- local layout button in document settings
- external material file browser
- graphics browser, include browser
The best guess for where the user wants to save or find files is the
directory the user started LyX from. Before, the default was always
the home directory. If desired, the old behavior can be restored by
changing the default path in Preferences > "Working directory".
This commit takes advantage of 9b64d7bd, which allows the use of a
relative path for path preferences.
Now the minibuffer toolbar is "auto" by default. It is opened by
command-execute (M-x) and closed when the command is executed without error.
* make lyx::dispatch return a DispatchResult struct
* there is a new MINIBUFFER type of toolbar, that can be used for this use.
* remove special handling of M-x in minnibuffer; Escape can be used instead. Fix focus in this case.
* when minibuffer toolbar is "auto", make the toolbar close itself after
- a command has been executed without error
- an empty command has been executed
- the Escape key has been used
[this is actually commit fdcff02a, which was later reverted at dd61d8cf]

This is needed since src/support calls lots of qt code, and some parts of it
(e.g. QFileInfo) require a running event loop. This fixes bug #4917 which is
a symptom of the problem.
The fix is to create a QCoreApplication for tex2lyx, lyxclient and LyX running
without GUI. In the future this could be extended, i.e. to split up the
frontend Application class in a GUI and a console class, and having the
console class use LyXConsoleApp in the same way as Application now uses
GuiApplication. If that is done, one could also think of moving
support/ConsoleApplication to frontend/console/ConsoleApplication.
These are now in version.cpp. The build machinery should therefore make sure
that version.cpp is recompiled at every compilation.
These variables are now referred to by the other places that made use of __DATE__ and __TIME__.
In the current code each paragraph contains a map<Language,
WordList*>, which means that it contains a full copy of the language
object. Since these objects contain translation tables nowadays, this
is a very bad idea.
This patch simply replaces the Language key by a string.
When loading the Userguide on linux/x86_64, the total memory
consumption decreases from 36.27MB to 31.50MB.
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.
