Hi all,
I use LyX almost daily for more than a year now and still like it:) I am
currently writing a large document and I usually do a lot of (re)editing of
small text fragments. I think that this is often the case if you are writing
scientific stuff. LyX is here a wonderful tool as it gives a reasonably high
quality feedback.
>From my (special) user experiment I have two general feature wishes.
First, I'd like to have better large document support.
With TeX parts the document can be typeset using the \includeonly (?)
command with correct cross references. If you are working on some small part
this is an interesting feature as one can quickly typeset this part (as it
is small). On the other this not yet finished part can be excluded out of a
preliminary version of the document.
I do not know how difficult it is to make this feature accessible via a GUI
in LyX, perhaps just a checkbox at the includes and an export to latex that
always runs on the master document with a properly set \includeonly (based on
the checkboxes and the part of the document that is currently open)
is sufficient. [Best would be to hide away the include mechanism from the
user and let LyX do it for him.]
The second wish is about the rendering.
Sometimes I wish more, but sometimes even /less/�) exact rendering. I.e.
sometimes I don't like the long cross references/label�) idx boxes hanging
around everywhere, but just the numbers resp. nothing, sometimes I need the
boxes. I.e. I wish to have a command like "(un)hide (specific) boxes".

�) It'll be nice to have a shortcut to access (part of) the source. (OK its
dangerous (undo?), but for equations - if you just know some latex - so much
faster.) Probably one may just expand some commands back to ERT.
�) Is it possible to automate section/figure/table labelling?
