Dear Andre, thanks for the pointer, I see, I see, I forgot to apply the stderr in fprintf ... I know, there are lots of people around having higher programming capabilities than I do ;-), but anyway, one should not mix up C and C++, so, it wasn't that bad to modify LYXERR output instead

Hi Vincent, I wouldn't consider / being a good idea when it comes to file access, as is \ not a good idea. If I was asked I'd rather suggest to use something like a doubled underscore, say __ as a replacement for \. __ is harmless in any regard, escaping is not complicated. As an alternative

Dear Steve, dear listmembers, your answer tells me that I haven't been precise enough. Imagine you have a section in your document you want to be centered rather than (i.e.) flushleft. To achieve this in LyX, you have to mark the section and then klick on the section menu, from where you can

In 1.6.x you can right-click to do this. It is still not as quick as a button, but is quicker than digging through menus... On Jan 1, 2009, at 5:27 AM, Dieter Jurzitza wrote: Dear Steve, dear listmembers, your answer tells me that I haven't been precise

Well, lazy me, what I would like to see are three little symbols for flush-right, flush-left or center on the top-level menu bar that help me avoid diving into a submenu in order to achieve this. I don't have a "red robe or a long white beard", so if you still want to have the four (you

Dear listmembers, in the meantime I created some icons for my purpose and have been putting them in the directory /usr/share/lyx/images. From the stdtoolbars.inc file I know (theoretically) that the naming convention for the files ought to be _.png following this strategy based on i.e.
