Lyx version: 1.2.0-pre5 Firstly, I have noticed a problem with figures imported from a 1.1.6 file. The displayed bounding box is much larger than the actual figure size.
I have even noticed this when opening the User Guide (particularly the section on figures). I'm not sure whether this is an issue that is already known, or a non-issue entirely, but I didn't see a bug report regarding this. Second, a few comments (hopefully constructive) on usability. I have only been using 1.2.0-pre5 for a *very* short period of time, but there are already a few items I miss from the 1.1.6 UI. One of the first items I noticed missing on the figure option box was the set of radio buttons for custom width metrics. In particular, the ones I miss most are %col and %page. It would be nice if there were three radio options with %col, %page and other, where other consists of the current drop down list. Another item that I noticed are the separation of the LyX view and LaTeX size. This is a great idea, but it would be nice to have an option that locked the display options together by default, and allowed the user to vary them independently if desired. I know there are the "Get LyX Size" and "Get LaTeX Size" buttons, but I think it just adds an extra click for the common case (at least what I percive as the common case for my usage). Finally, the LyX view lack of support for determining %text, %col and %page size from the LaTeX size is somewhat frustrating. But, I'm not sure how much work would be required to support these options. Although these are my own personal preferences, and of course you never want to customize a UI to a single user, perhaps they could serve as the starting point for determining a reasonable set of default preferences (at least for figures) based on the combined input of users. -- Rick L.
