The lossy .plyx -> .lyx -> .plyx conversion has been the center of all discussions. For example, how would you bundle and unbundle a file c:\not-in-document-path\figure.png that can not exist under linux? There has been two solutions: restricting all bundled files to a document (sub) directory, or using individual embedding and partial unbundling. The latter was described in detail in http://www.lyx.org/~bpeng/lyx-embed/embedding_feature.pdf. Cheers, Bo
