Thanks Stephan. It is *so* great to have spell checking on the fly!

There is one feature, which I wonder if it is not too late to request for in
2.0. That is, when one selects all the text (ctrl-a/cmd-a), that if one does
so within a box, such as a mini page or caption, that only the content of
the box is selected. Outside any box would select the whole document. Just
imagine how annoying it would be if when you are writing an email online and
go ctrl-a and the whole email page was selected?! What do you think?

Doing two ctr-a's could optionally still select the whole document. One
current annoying feature of doing a ctrl-a and then an esc is that one loses
one's current place, which can take a moment to find again in a long
document.

The reason I have not updated is that I didn't have the time to set up all
the linux software again that took me ages to set up and was using daily.
Now I don't know if I should wait till summer for yet the next OS release!

Yes, this is the problem.
I've made the last Tiger compatible .dmg for alpha6.
I'll provide one more actual soon.

Should the dmg installer for LyX 2.0 beta* work on Mac OS 10.4?

[Christopher Reeve]

Hi, I am impatient to test drive LyX 2.0 but have not been able to run any
of the beta versions. I open the dmg file provided
here,
drag LyX to the applications folder and try to run LyX but nothing happens.

I am running Mac OS 10.4, which is already out dated. Is this the problem or
should it work?

I haven't been able to install from source because I get errors when
updating to the required Qt libraries or something. Has anyone else got lyx
2.0 running on mac 10.4? Cheers! Chris.
