should wiki uploads be https by default?

2017-04-23 Thread Scott Kostyshak 
I wanted to make

  https://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows

a "secure" connection (according to the definition of Chromium and
Firefox) but it has the following image in it:

  http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/lyxwin.png

Can we change that to be https by default?

In the Wiki it is entered as:

[[uploads:/Windows/lyxwin.png |uploads:/Windows/lyxwin.png"Main window
screenshot"]]

consistent use of byte ordering mark in our files?

2017-04-23 Thread Scott Kostyshak 
We include the byte ordering mark in some of our files and not in
others. Should we be consistent or should I just not be so picky?

From reading the Wikipedia page [1], it seems that some programs "cannot
interpret UTF-8 unless the BOM is present or the file contains only
ASCII". On the other hand, "Not using a BOM allows text to be
backwards-compatible with some software that is not Unicode-aware."

277" && echo {}' \;

updatelayouts.py broken?

2017-04-23 Thread Scott Kostyshak 
I use

  development/tools/updatelayouts.py

to easily update the format of our layout files. The script no longer
works for me. I wonder if the script needs to be updated after 77511ea1
(I think the call to layout2layout is now incorrect). I tried to update
it myself, but my Python skills aren't even hackish enough to fix it
with trial and error.

This issue is not urgent at all. I can update the layout files with a
find -exec and calling layout2layout directly.

An alternative to the script being broken is that I just don't know how
to call it correctly. Jürgen updated all layouts at a3315733 (which is
more recent than 77511ea1), but perhaps he used a find -exec also?

Good point. I didn't think about that. I suppose that that is indeed a
disadvantage to keeping it on trac.

Normally it is for entering the status line.

There are some cases where \Cq is not accepted. We have to leave the dialog 
first (e.g. with escape)
But sometimes also Escape is blocked. Only after the thist \Ax (which may or 
may not be blocked) is Escape accepted.

what was the \Ax for, then ?
And, if it's for dismissing the (save?) dialog, then shouldn't it be like:

I hold them back because master was closed.
I have the installer ready and also tested it yesterday with current

If you

OK, I will put it in then. I'll also put in the recent documentation

Dang, I forgot about that caveat. Similarly, you can't navigate other
math insets with tab (e.g. multi-line equations).

P.S. if possible let's try to keep the discussion on trac so we have

Uwe, I noticed that there are no changes about 2.3.0alpha1 mentioned in

Have there been changes and we just haven't documented them? If you
would like to document them for alpha1, you can commit changes to that
file to master.

If there aren't supposed to be any changes added to that file, please
ignore this message.
