Could you send me (privately) a small lyx file that fails? Previous lyx versions were quite lenient in the accepted lyx files, they accepted files that could never be formed by lyx. lyx2lyx tries to be very liberal in the files that it works with but it is very difficult to cover all cases. I try hard to support ancient scripts used to convert to lyx files, and so we have adjusted successfully in the past lyx2lyx to work with the first incantation of csv2lyx (among others). mif2lyx seems to fit under the same umbrella so the same procedure will apply to it as well. :-) -- José Abílio
