[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#406841: lyx: Latex Log usability (missing search function in log)

[Erich Schubert]

Package: lyx
Version: 1.4.3-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
When making a document ready to print, handling LaTeX warnings becomes
essential (e.g. looking for overfull hbox errors), and even more so for
checking BibTeX references.
LyX already gives access to the LaTeX log, however you can't search in
there (for e.g. "natbib warning" or "overfull hbox"), or at least copy
it to a different editor to search in the logfile. That would be quite
useful.
