Sorry but before you continue bashing me, please:
You did not reply my (and others') concerns directly. It is true that new users, authors who wrote larger documents have their special needs, but that does not have to mean we need to offer these features, or you can add these features without asking others' opinion. Changing lyx's behavior in a installer and makes lyx/win behave differently from other platforms is *not* acceptable. As I have said, you are free to do whatever you want to your installer if you maintain it in the wiki, but if you want to put it to the trunk, you have to ask and respect your peer developers' opinion.
And while we are discussing the installer question; It makes me sick that nobody see the time that is needed for maintaining the installer and the Windows stuff. It's me who wrote at least 5 emails per day to respond questions and discuss bugs. Or what do you think why I reported so many LyX bugs?
I respect and appreciate your efforts but your ways of dealing with these lyx bugs are sometimes unacceptable. For example, some users request a PDF icon. This is a legitimate request but before we all agree to add such an icon to all platforms, you should not add it to your installer. IMHO, if you have no intention to merge the two installers, or make your installer official by convincing us, you would better move this installer out of the trunk. A branch would serve your need well. Bo
