Hide tracked changes?

[Matts Lindström]

Hi,
Is it somehow possible to hide tracked changes in the lyx editor without
choosing to accept/reject them? This is possible in Word, and a function
which I find very convenient as it makes the display a lot less cluttered,
while still preserving all of your edits.

Thanks,
Matts

At present, no, this isn't possible. It's a reasonable suggestion,
though. Perhaps the right way to implement it would be just to stop
showing tracked changes when change tracking is turned off. It's hard to
see why you'd want to see them if you weren't currently tracking them,
or have them off if you are tracking them.

Yes, definitely. I think you should add an enhancement request in trac
(I am not sure how easy it is, though)

The later situation actually seems very useful to me: you just edit your
file without those horrible blue texts, but LyX keeps track of the
changes nevertheless.

Yes this was exactly what I was looking for -- the ability to toggle the
visibility of those blue edits.

I second Matts' request. Especially for heavy editing of a document,
it would be a nice feature to be able to edit away, with changes tracked
in the background. All those blue texts can make a document unreadable.

Is there any way users can support efforts for such a project, e.g. by
making it clear that there is demand for such a feature, or by
project-specific contributions?
