Hi




1 - Create a new document
2 - Activate Change Tracking
3 - Write some lines
4 - Accept all changes
5 - Write some more lines
6 - Repeat steps 4 & 5
7 - Boom.

It's really a pity that LyX/Win doesn't work as good as LyX/Mac ... got a crash today, reproducable: See the screenshots here: http://flickr.com/photos/rclkrtrzckr/sets/ 72157594549712498/

(FlickR is dead slow at the moment, please be patient.)







Cheers

André

Actually, I stepped back to 1.4.3 from 1.4.4 because the latest version crashed when I wanted to go to Document -> Settings -> LaTeX Preamble in one of my existing documents. I didn't track this further, just installed 1.4.3 :-/ I am not happy at all with this. I'm in the middle of a LyX Promo Tour right now, I have to convince my bosses and team mates. But I can't with these crashes. I have promised RCS, because it works on my Mac, but it doesn't on Win. That's not really good. Which one is the most stable version of LyX? Would it make sense to go for 1.3.x?

Hi

First I want to thank Uwe for pointing out the embedded objects doc. Cool, really! I am in a process of convincing my team mates to use LyX for documentation. The guys all use windows. I'm not really a windows man, thus the question: What RCS do you recommend? I have downloaded the zip file from the gnu site and copied all the bins to C:\windows, but LyX didn't see the binaries. Next, I have added this dir to the path in the prefs, but still now luck. FYI: I used lyx-144-2-bundle.exe to install LyX, worked like a charm :-)
