Since the recent MacOS update the files of type #xxx.lyx# and xxx.lyx.emergency seem to be generated in a broken way. They are not text files anymore and LyX freezes when it starts to read them (I have only checked after crashes). W In order to use LyX again one has to rename or remove the offending files.
This is not really a bug report because I think that the fault lies with Apple. Before the MacOS update both recovery and autosave worked for me (and these functionalities saved me many hours of work). I would like to propose that users would be warned not to install MacOS 26 for now. Autosave can be delayed up to 5 hours (300 min) in the preferences, but I think, it would be worthwhile considering an option to disable both autosave and recovery after crashes, at least as long as this problem persists. I have only tested LyX 2.5 beta 2 on a single machine. Regards, Marcus -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
