I think there are two issues here: 1. Importing 2. Using (and exporting) Issue 1 seems like a valid request to me and could be filed as an enhancement request here: http://www.lyx.org/trac Issue 2 is understandable but I doubt that this will be implemented. This is just my personal guess though. You are welcome to file this enhancement request also. Best, Scott
