You can fix this sort of errors easily yourself: Add
\frame[]{}
to lib/reLyX/syntax.default (and then send a patch ).
This works, but I get all frames in ERT, not exactly what expected.
This is because beamer layout file doesnot have a Style with latexname
frame.
Instead, it introduces the \lyxframe and \lyxframeend commands as an
substitution for nesting stuff inside a frame.
In will test your patch on tex2lyx later.

I can downsize this to a minimal two-slide example if needed.
Please do this, since I don't understand what happens apart from the \frame
bug.
Done on bugzilla, bug# 1910
With the short example, \author{...} is lost in the lyx preamble, I guess
it deserves a different bug report (sorry, I'm a freshman with bugzilla
usage).

Yes.
I know that the goal of tex2lyx is to produce error-free
lyx code, but would this local syntax file allow to tell
tex2lyx to translate e.g.
\frame[plain]{
by
\layout BeginPlainFrame
and
}\frame{
by
layout BeginFrame
No. The syntax file does only tell how many arguments a LaTeX command has.
The commands that are translated to a LyX layout are read from the layout
files: If beamer.layout would contain a layout for \frame it would be
translated to that layout.
Maybe you can ask Till Tantau why he used \lyxframe and not \frame and tell
him about the consequences?
I don't want to hardcode \frame into tex2lyx unless it is really necessary.

Georg patch translates
\frame{ ... }
as
ert\frame{/ert...ert}/ert
which is all right from the point of view of tex2lyx current goal.
My previous follow-up raised the question of directly translating in the
required layout by associating a latex construct to the corresponding
layout equivalent, and using a (possibly user written) syntax file
to define these equivalences.
Postfiltering the lyx file is of course possible, replacing
current ERTs with the layout commands in LyX code, so this
is a really aesthetic question from the point of view of tex2lyx.

This is because beamer layout file doesnot have a Style with latexname
"frame".
Instead, it introduces the \lyxframe and \lyxframeend commands as an
substitution for nesting stuff inside a frame.

Georg patch translates
\frame{ ... }
as
\frame{...}
which is all right from the point of view of tex2lyx current goal.
My previous follow-up raised the question of directly translating in the

You can fix this sort of errors easily yourself: Add

to lib/reLyX/syntax.default (and then send a patch ;-) ). In this case
however the \frame command is already there (it is a standard LaTeX
command), so I changed it to recognize the optional argument.

Yes.
I can downsize this to a minimal two-slide example if needed.
Please do this, since I don't understand what happens apart from the \frame

The reason is the translate argument:
\foo{translate}
in syntax.default means that the argument of foo is normal LaTeX code that
gets translated into LyX constructs.
\foo{}
means that the argument of \foo may contain special things that can't be
translated to LyX in general.

tex2lyx: round trip on a beamer presentation
Hello developers,
I use lyx for technical reports for several years (with great success
and pleasure, thanks to you), but currently I still use Xemacs/pdflatex
for beamer presentations.
Here a few remarks after a round trip when trying to turn a foo.tex
file written in beamer class into foo.lyx:
one is about the optional arg to the \frame command
\frame[plain]{\titlepage} - \frame{[}plain{]}{titlepage}
The others all happen when closing a frame:
\end{itemize} \end{columns}} % end frame
\end{columns} -
} % end frame\end{itemize}
\column{0.45\textwidth}
\end{columns} - \column{0.45\textwidth\end{columns}}}
}
In fact, the \column command (and the } closing the frame)
belong to the preceding environment in the lyx code, e.g. layout Itemize
remains open as no layout Standard appears before the ERT inset.
layout Itemize
[...]
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed
\layout Standard
\backslash
end{columns}
\end_inset
It seems located inside the ERT, where it has no effect I guess.
Sorry if this has been reported, is bugzilla appropriate for tex2lyx ?
I can downsize this to a minimal two-slide example if needed.
