lyx2lyx script failed to convert the file

2014-06-23 Thread ashutosh vishwa bandhu 
I want to open a lyx file using lyx version 2.0.5 on Ubuntu 11.04. This
file was created using lyx version 2.1.0-1 on Ubuntu 14.04. When I try to
open the file I get and error message saying that the file is from a new
version of Lyx and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it.

Is it possible to open the file using the older version of lyx?

Thanks,

Ashutosh

Only if you use 2.0.8 (the last release in the minor series can open
the next major format). You can alternatively copy the lyx2lyx scripts
from 2.0.8 or 2.1.x and use those.

I just change the \lyxformat specifier using a text editor and it 
usually will work.   just open your .lyx file and make the change to see 
if it will open.

This is not a good idea. In an emergency, I suppose it's worth trying, 
but there is a reason the format number changes. With Lyx 2.1.x files, 
for example, if you use any of what used to be called Short Title 
insets, you will get errors.
