In case it is not clear (and I agree that it is not) the question about secondary argument refers to unpacking in place. Unpacking will prompt for overwrite if file.lyx already exists. It is the save/saveas part that annoys me most. My understanding is that embedding or not, I am working on

It is the save/saveas part that annoys me most. My understanding is that embedding or not, I am working on the same file. A possible solution to the save/saveas problem might be linking .lyx and .lyz tightly and say 'save a bundled copy' instead of 'save in bundled format'. Then, .lyx will

Hi, I have been busy and did not had much to develop in LyX but here are some of my thoughts on the subject of compression. I don't care so much if we drop the feature of reading compress files with lyx as long as the program deals with lyx.gz files. This should satisfy

If we want a different suffix for embedded lyx files why not to call them .elyx? I am not in favor of a separate file extension partly because of the extra work (document, .cpp etc). If it is decided to use one, I would prefer .lyz. 'z' is after 'x', it means 'compression', and '.lyz' actually
