Re: All my LyX files seem to be externally modified
A while ago LyX (1.5.2) started to say that all my old files have been externally modified. The problem does not occur when I create new files, but every time I want to save a change in an old file, I have to click the overwrite button. As far as I know, I have not modified any LyX files externally, so I do not understand why I get the message. Since it is very irritating to have it this way I wonder if there is a way to turn this confirming question off. If you are using windows, this may be related to a file comparison bug that has been lately addressed. Because 1.5.3 will be released soon(ish), please report back if you still see this problem with this new version. Bo
All my LyX files seem to be externally modified
Dear Sirs, A while ago LyX (1.5.2) started to say that all my old files have been externally modified. The problem does not occur when I create new files, but every time I want to save a change in an old file, I have to click the overwrite button. As far as I know, I have not modified any LyX files externally, so I do not understand why I get the message. Since it is very irritating to have it this way I wonder if there is a way to turn this confirming question off. Yours sincerely, Albert Pettersson

I've seen something like this too in cases where there is an old emergency or backup file lying around. If I see it again, I'll try to figure out exactly what the cause is. But, in the meantime, check for such files. rh Bo
