I see. But show is called when inserting the label inset:
1523 case LFUN_INSERT_LABEL: {
1524 doInsertInset(this, cmd, true, false);
1525 InsetCommandParams p("label");
1526 string const data = InsetCommandMailer::params2string("label", p);
1527 bv->owner()->getDialogs().show("label", data, 0);
1528 break;
1529 }
Ah... should I put statement 1524 after 1527?
No. That doesn't help.
