Contributing to Equation Editor

There are a number of things that need to be done to enhance the user experience of LaTeX Equation Editor:

• Automatically detect the location of MiKTeX if it's installed;
• Use displaymath mode by default, it's way prettier than math mode.
• Allow the user to export to a file, instead of only to the clipboard.
• Use a lower default for refreshing. It's not nearly as "live" now as it could be.
• Build in a simple list, buttons or references for adding symbols and typical mathematical operations (divisions, limits, sums...).
• New features...?
• A nice icon...? ;)

I will get around to this someday, but in the meantime if you're a developer and eager to see some of this fixed, you are more than welcome to the source and to make the modifications. I will gladly accept your patches.

Hacking
