Opening LyX-2.0 Files in LyX-1.6.5
I found myself wanting to open the same document sometimes in LyX 2.0 and sometimes in LyX 1.6.5. Oh sure, a LyX 1.6.5 document opens fine in LyX 2.0, but I ran into an error when trying open a LyX 2.0 document in LyX 1.6.5. So I did a little experimentation. I copied the LyX 2.0 lyx/lib/lyx2lyx folder into the LyX 1.6.5 lyx/lib/ directory. Then recompiled LyX 1.6.5. Voilá. Now I can open the same file with either version of LyX. Am I violating any taboo here? Does this void the LyX warranty? -Jack -- ~~~ Jack Desert --Writer, Entrepeneur Author and Spokesman: www.LetsEATalready.com Software Developer: http://GrooveTask.org Email: jwo...@gmail.com ~~

Of course, because LyX 2.0 is not released, so you cannot expect that the stable LyX 1.6.5 will understand files created with a version that is in alpha-state (not feature complete and with lots of crashes). In general, don't use development previews of LyX 2.0 for any real-life document, only for testing! Once LyX 2.0 is finally released, the last LyX 1.6.x version will support files created with LyX 2.0. regards Uwe

The version of lyx2lyx presently in trunk will convert *any* (existing) format to any other (existing) format. Since it's a self-contained python script, you can indeed do precisely what you've done. rh
