Hi John, Please always respond to the list. Thanks for your debugging efforts! It's useful to know that lyx2lyx works when called directly, but for some reason not when LyX calls it. I wonder if using Python Anaconda instead of just vanilla Python confuses LyX. Of course it shouldn't be a problem, but debugging is all about figuring out what it is that should work is not working. Can you try opening the .lyx file from the command line? I don't know how to do that on Mac. When you do that, after you get the error in the GUI (about unable to convert), can you check the terminal and see if there is any useful information? Can you also do the same as the above, but this time add the option -dbg info to the command? For me, this would be lyx -dbg info myfile.lyx Can you then copy the output from the terminal to a log file, and post it to the list? (read the log first to make sure you are not posting any private information). Thanks for your help in testing, Scott
