Choosing stdtoolbars.ui gives no drop-down menus.

[p.stansell@…]

Setting Tools: preference: user interface file: stdtoolbars.ui and restarting
lyx gives a lyx with no drop-down menus. In this state the configuration can't
easily be changed back to default. One can fix this it my editing "\ui_file
stdtoolbars" in ones ~/.lyx/preferences files.

I think the ui files which are only intended to be included by other ui files
(like stdtoolbars.ui, stdmenus.ui) should get a different extension
(stdtoolbars.inc or stdtoolbars.uix or something). It is really too confusing
for the users as it is now.

[lasgouttes]

I thought about it recently, but the problem is that the ".ui" extension is
given explicitely in the files we distribute now. This means that people who
customized their default.ui will get a non-functional LyX :(

We could hardcode a hack saying that, for everything starting with std, we try
.inc if .ui cannot be found. Or we could always try .inc if .ui cannot be found.

[Georg Baum]

I think we should do the latter and always try inc if ui cannot be found.

What's missing is a routine to handle existing (modified) ui-files. Jean-Marc
has a patch.

[lasgouttes]

Yes, and I think I am just going to apply it.

What is still missing after that is a patch to load default.ui when loading did
not succeed. But I do not think it is going to be fool-proof, so we can probably
forget about it.
