Thanks, Georg. I knew about the possibility of adding symbols to the
toolbar and the little math toolbar is nice. However, what would be
needed are buttons where I can click and, e.g., get all symbols as
pull-down
menu (see the SWP-LyX comparison at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/
LyxVersusScientificWorkplace),
etc. Similar to what SWP or Mathtype have.
Is that possible with LyX yet? If so, I will be happy to sit down
a couple of
weekends and create a nice demo setup which would provide the
required
ease of use.
Don't hold your breath but I am quite confident that it will be
possible in the 1.5 time frame with the Qt4 frontend. As Georg said
in another thread, GUI developers are not very numerous, maybe only
one truly active on the GUI side at a time. So if you know a little
C++ and are willing to learn Qt there are plenty of (easy) things
to do and your help would be much appreciated.
Once I have completed my Ph.D. thesis, I will be happy to help on that.
I fooled around in the LyX code three years ago, during the first
porting
to Mac. Until then, all my programming needs to be thesis related.
As soon as your guys have reconfigurable toolbars (1.5.x?) with pull-
down
toolbuttons (see http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/
LyxVersusScientificWorkplace), I promise
to create all toolbars necessary so that every toolbar SWP has,
will also be available in LyX...
Best,
