Fixme (package/module)

[Ken]

Hi. I recently discovered the fixme package and fixme.module.

I have installed the package via MikTex and I have placed the
fixme.module in the layouts folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\layouts

Now Insert  Custom Insets  FxNote allows me to insert a note which
is displayed in the margin when the document is compiled to pdf.

My questions are:
(1) how can I change the document from draft to final so that the
notes are not printed in the pdf document?
(2) is it possible/easy to add an icon to the toolbar so that I can
quickly insert an FxNote (just as easily as a normal note) with a
single click? Or is it possible to add a keyboard shortcut?

Thanks,
Ken

P.S. This is my first attempt at using a module.  So far it has been
easy to install but learning the subtleties is a bit trickier. If
there is documentation which would easily answer my questions please
point me in that direction. Thanks!

DocumentSettingsDocument ClassOptions: Enter final (though that
should be the default).

Both of these can be done. You just need to know the LFUN for doing
this operation. It should be displayed in the status bar when you insert
an FxNote. (It will be something like: flex-insert fxnote.) Now go to
ToolsPreferencesEditingShortcuts. Click New. Enter the LFUN and
select a shortcut.

Getting a toolbar button is slightly more complicated. You would need to
copy the stdtoolbars.ui file into your local directory and modify it.
There's some info at the beginning of the file about how to do this.

An alternative would be to create two modules: fixme.module and
fixme-draft.module, only the latter of which has the status=draft
option in the preamble. Then you could simply switch from one module
to the other using Document  Settings. This is a bit clunky, but far
easier than manually editing the fixme.module each time, and it would
only affect the current document rather than all documents that use
that module.

 Thanks for the info.  As for draft/final setting I see  that
 fixme.module contains the lines:
 AddToPreamble
 \usepackage[status=draft]{fixme}
 EndPreamble
 



Given this, perhaps putting status=draft (rather than just draft) in the 
\documentclass options would affect the fixme package, and not images? I 
haven't 
checked, this is just an idea.

Hi Jim,

Yes, status=draft (rather than just draft) did the trick perfectly.

Thanks both for your help!

Given this, perhaps putting "status=draft" (rather than just "draft") in the 
\documentclass options would affect the fixme package, and not images? I
