When the '-e' or --export option is passed, we don't load the GUI at all and the program exits as soon as the given file is converted or failed to convert.

Currently only the last loaded file is converted and this is consistent with 1.4 behaviour. So currently this command line:

lyx -e latex file1.lyx file2.lyx file3.lyx

will load all three files but only convert file3.lyx.

This limitation was probably due to the fact that batch command processing necessitated to load the full GUI and batch commands can be safely applied to only one Buffer in GUI mode.

Thanks to the separation of GUI and non GUI command-lines, it is now possible to convert all three files with the same command.

Would you like me this feature?
