Dear friends,
some people asked for a simple way to disable the preview debug modes
in current git (2.0.12dev) for a while without unselecting all the
checkboxes, but keeping the point and click links (i.e. the good old
Preview mode). Also some wished that point and click could be
disabled for a while, while keeping some preview debug options, hence
the maybe somewhat confusing option "Disable Point and Click links"
in the preview mode panel.
What do you think of a third main mode:
- Preview mode (just point and click, as it has been)
- Publish mode (no point and click)
- Debug mode: this mode listens to the settings in the Debug mode panel.
Also settings like: Verbose and English Messages (currently in
Preferences) could move to the debug panel.
The debug panel should get a title like "Debugging options".
The custom engrave dialog and the LilyPond preferences page can be
simplified a little then.
Shall I do it? Please give me green light :)
This sounds good, I like the conceptual separation of Preview and
Debug mode.
But I have one question: How would Debug mode relate to point-and-click?
Janek's request was to compile in Debug mode (as of your new
suggestion) and be able to switch point-and-click independently from
this.
My suggestion [if that's not what you intended anyway] is to have a
Point-and-Click option on the Debug panel (the contrary of the current
way to _disable_ point-and-click). So this would be a checkbox that is
usually checked but can be unchecked on demand.
