What I am saying is the likely cause for lyx2lyx to fail is to read a newer version that it does not support. The purpose of lyx2lyx is to read, and convert, all previous file format lyx files. If it fails then either it is a bug or it is a new format. > Btw, it's annoying that I can't do copy'n'paste of the error message :-( > > Hmm... maybe we could have an online service on lyx.org for converting > more recent .lyx-files to older formats? Nah... 1.4.5 will be able to write 1.3 and 1.4 files. > /Christian -- José Abílio
