now i know whats happening. the file is comming from converter cache. the fix of the original problem is easy but digging into ConverterCache.cpp reveals quite fundamental problems with the whole cache machinery: in short there will be many troubles if we open lyx with disabled cache and enable it. data structures are not properly initialized in such a case which implies many problems - for example we rewrite the old index file and the code itself is not able to detect old files not in index. i guess that we already store megabytes of junk files on many user-computers already :) i started to fix the original report but as i went in more and more problems appear and 'proper' fix will need major review od converter cache code. partial fix is oneliner. pavel
