Ah, okay. I guess I was hoping for some kind of mini-settings file that would only add or modify those specific lines when dropped into a folder. Another thing some extendable programs use is a scripting API (eg Gimp uses Python, VLC has Lua, etc.), which might then provide commands like "lyx.config.converters.add(from, to, command, options)" to let plugins mess around with settings while wrapping the internal logic. Those might be cool features for some remote future version, though I have no idea how much demand there would be to justify them. Cheers, Christoph
