Re: Problem converting older files with lyx2lyx

2022-10-13 Thread Dr Eberhard Lisse

That can be a Python issue. But it's nice to see it works.


What I have done in the past is to convert all LyX files I have below my
work area with something similar to

find ~/medicine/cpd/ -name '*.lyx' -type f -exec open {} ';'

and then having to save all the files manually.

Which of course would not work for your particular situation but could
be adapted, which I might just do for myself when I am bored as I
otherwise would have to think about an Applescript to automate this when
the format changes next time :-)-O


greetings, el

convert it.” So, lyx2lyx works, but LyX cannot run it.  And still,
instant preview does not work, although typesetting a document does.

I have been using lyx for many years now (which is why I have old
formats).  I have no problems compiling lyx documents, and otherwise
use LaTeX directly, so I don’t think it’s a LaTeX issue.
