The usual policy is if you are using cvs then you know what you are doing. :-) Actually I think that you also have a separate lyx_1.2.x branch, so you should open and save your document with that version and not with the latest cvs. There is a reason why we call it the stable version as opposed to unstable cvs. :-) Take as an example the \end_deeper problem that we had last week, how would you be able to revert to the old format? My concern with lyx2lyx is the end user, so I don't care about cvs version. > > If you can guarantee that I don't edit a silently converted doc for an hour > and LyX won't save it afterwards as it does not like the version... Then the read-only flag is the solution. But I repeat, I don't understand why someone that is using an editing a lyx document with some version doesn't expect lyx to save with the respective file format... > > ?????

And yes, this is useful. After doing all the convertion stuff from older version I have to strongly disagree here. I don't want to imagine the mess it would be. And yes, data loss is possible even if the changes are trivial. > > > Better not to touch the original... > > > > Why do you concern only now? :-) > > Because I was not aware of the silence of the conversion earlier and I did > not really try earlier it as you provided the missing link to make it > usable for me just a few days ago.
