When I wrote to this list a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I was
really enjoying LyX. I have to say, I'm enjoying it even more now. It's
remarkably useful and user-friendly. That said, I have a couple of
suggestions for making it a bit friendlier yet, both in the area of
working with images. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm just being dense,
and LyX is already capable of doing all this.
1. I like being able to control how images display in LyX separately
from how they show up in the output. However, I've found that I often
set the two images to the same magnification in both. It'd be nice if it
was the default to use the same magnification in both so that I wouldn't
have to enter the number twice.
2. It's not easy to view not shown or small-magnification images at full
size. I can right-click on an image and "edit externally", but I'd
rather bind the left-click to a fast internal "view" command (or a "view
externally" command, and reserve the image properties dialog for the
right-click menu.
