Remember, we only test with executables just created. This is a pity. We should, at the very least test all 2.2-exported files with 2.2 before releasing 2.3! Maybe we can add a simple script that opens all lyx22 files in autotests/out-home with lyx2.2 and reports failures (affected file(s) + eventual error/warning message). ... >> * Sometimes, the back-converted file will load in LyX but fail to compile >> due to errors in the generated LaTeX.

Instead of "pdflatex" I suggest testing with default output as set in the document. Thanks, Günter
