Re: Stuck between v2.4-RC1 and v2.3.7
Thanks for the pointer. I realized where the problem is. I just upgraded to macOS 14.3 and have not agreed to the Xcode license. This makes python invisible to LyX. After updating Xcode, LyX can convert OLDER versions now.

The only reason to get that type of error is to have a mix between different versions installed. Because RC1 has a more recent conversion tool (lyx2lyx) and so that error should not happen. In 2.4 what do you get on Help->About LyX (I am interested in "System directory" entry.

Stuck between v2.4-RC1 and v2.3.7
Hi everyone, I recently upgraded LyX to v2.4-RC1. Previously, I was using v2.4-beta3 without problems. However, ever since v2.4-RC1, I have failed to open all my LyX documents previously created under beta 3, showing me the "LyX cannot open OLDER version of documents" error. Right now, I cannot seem to locate the beta 3 installer from anywhere, so I went back to v2.3.7 from the official website, but got the "LyX cannot open newer versions of documents" error for those documents. I am stuck in between v2.4-RC1 and v2.3.7. I cannot understand why the newer version 2.4-RC1 cannot open an older version: ~/Documents/example.lyx is from an older version of LyX and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Steven -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
