The advantage (maybe you do not see it this way) of my approach is that there is no bundled mode, and there is no unbundle. The file is continued to be svn friendly, and nobody would svn a compressed bundle. In Richard's approach, users have two choices (already a bad thing). svn filename.lyxdir. This has the disadvantage that files under this directory is organized by LyX, with aliased names. Users can also svn their existing external files, but this can only be done through the troublesome full unbundling (export LyX with external files, copy files back and svn). Cheers, Bo
