Maybe the conversion program is called even for minor file format changes ? >> >>> %->head -1 /usr/local/share/lyx-1.3.0/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx >>> #! /usr/bin/env python >>> >>> As a side question to the list, is there a way to get >>> ascending compatibility as before ? >> >> I don't understand what you mean here. :-) I just don't like to install python only for the sake of a file format upgrade which worked fine alone since 0.12. IMHO, the old upgrade capability *should* works as before ./configure make make install lyx <my_file.lyx> without failure when coming from the previous recent release (means that 1.3 should read 1.2, I'm not asking for full ascending compatibility back to 0.12: lyx2lyx *is* an improvement for those who need it). I'm glad with perl, maybe I'm the only one around without python :-) -- Jean-Pierre
