Re: lyx not a readable Lyx document

Yes and no, LyX 2.4 uses a different format from 2.3 and hence the (2.3) lyx2lyx does not know the new (2.4) format (yet). That happens during (almost) every major upgrade and the developers then usually "backport" that so I would think the eventual 2.3.6.3 (or 2.3.7) will be able to read the 2.

Thanks to everyone for the further comments, good to hear that it seems I am unusual in having corrupt files. Time Machine is, as Liviu says, a Mac solution and I share with Ubuntu and occasionally Windows. Dropbox will retain files indefinitely, for an extra fee, but I didn't know that SiderOak d

Liviu, I have 100+Gb on Dropbox that I use, and it gives me version control for 30 days, which is good for falling back on a previous version, but the Dropbox version will have long been replaced by the corrupt version. This then syncs to a few computers in different locations But, I do need a be

not a readable LyX document. Sounds like some sort of lyx2lyx conversion error. If you can run LyX from a terminal, you should get more error messages, though that won't solve the problem by itself. So, alternatively, try posting one of the problematic files here, or sending it to me priv
