I guess my question is: How does an ordinary user know when to invoke lyx2lyx? By ordinary user, I mean one who may not even know how to look at a lyx file other than with lyx, and knows nothing about \lyxformat. Somebody sends them an old lyx file. They open it in their brand new lyx and it looks funny or crashes. Can (does) lyx itself provide a message guiding them to lyx2lyx or giving them the option to invoke it from lyx? Thanks, Garst
