Now, here comes another surprise.
Currently, when we have a compressed file, we open it directly with
lyx. Are you saying you are chaning this behavior? I mean, where will
you put your filename.lyxdir? The temp directory or the document
directory?
The answer to this question was given above. I am not going to do
your thinking for you.
Is wrapping a superset of compression, i.e. taking a bunch files,
converting to a single archive file and then compressing it?
It could be done in various ways. (Implementation details, again.) We
could use tar, zip, base64, or whatever, and it could be compressed or
not. LyX just needs to be able to undo whatever that is, put
filename.lyx and filename.lyxdir into its temporary directory, and then
open them as normal.
