> What's lacking ? Well. At first is lacking time to me. :-) But, let me see...
1) I want to use Windows and Visual Studio 2010 to code (I personally like this idea because of the debugging features of this IDE). But I need to pass thru several steps before generate the "Solution" for Visual Studio (all that thing with development\cmake). I really do not understand what's done in these steps, and I am starting to realize this is not the best environment to code LyX. I feel really not confortable to work with a simple text editor and compile the code everytime I want to test some piece of code, and I really enjoy step-by-step/breakpoints/ and all debugging features present on most IDEs. So, the question is: how can I set a good and functional environment to work? What environment LyX developers are using? 2) When I install and run LyX, I see that some files were created in the user profile (AppData folder). What exactly these files are for? They're just configuration files automatically created in the first run or they are part of the installation process? If they're just configuration files, couldn't I safely remove these files? I'm not sure, but it seems that I corrupt my instalation when I do that. 3) In my AppData\Roaming folder (eq. to Application Data on WinXP), I also have two folders for LyX 2.0: one named "LyX2.0" and other named "lyx20". This is just some typo in the code, something left from an old installation, or they're really named this way? Well, there are probably other questions, but the first one is the most important in my opinion (the other 2 I may guess looking to the code). But it is really a pain for me to compile, and check something without set the environment first.
