Thanks Richard, I just filed this as bugzilla "bug" 3501. It's assigned to Jean-Marc Lasgouttes.
Jean-Marc -- if I can help in any way I can help, please let me know. I can compile 1.4.3 on my machine (although it takes forever and a day -- 15 minutes from scratch), I found the code that does the reconfigure, and found the code that does the -x. I can write a Reconfigure_and_exit() in lyx_cb.C, add an LFUN_RECONFIG_AND_EXIT in lyxfunc.C and LyXAction.C, with the latter invoking on -x reconfig_and_exit or whatever you think is best. The remaining problem is turning the gui off -- parse_execute() does not set is_gui to false. Perhaps a brand new command line argument would be in order, unless the new Reconfigure_and_exit() can somehow turn it off, or an ugly case statement is put in parse_execute(). Anyway, I don't have the latest source code, but perhaps I can help in some minor way. Thanks SteveT On Monday 23 April 2007 16:06, Richard Heck wrote: > Just go to bugzilla.lyx.org.
