Sure, Herbert, but it is still rather ugly, specifying user1, user2 etc. If Rob wants to define an agr format, then let's let him. I think that this would do it: In GraphicsCacheItem::convert, the code snippet string const from = getExtFromContents(filename_); string const to = findTargetFormat(from); should be string from = getFormatName(filename_); if (from.empty() || from == "user") { lyxerr << filename_ << "\nDon't recognise the file format either from its contents\n" << "or from the extension (as a user-defined format)" << std::endl; return false; } string const to = findTargetFormat(from); where string getFormatName(string const & filename) { // Note: getExtFromContents should be renamed as // getFormatFromContents as that's what it does. string const try1 = getExtFromContents(filename); if (!try1.empty() && try1 != "user") { // The format is recognised fromt the file's contents return try1; } // Didn't recognise file from it's contents. // Is the extension defined by the user? If so, asume that that is correct formats::const_iterator it = std::find_if(formats.begin(), formats.end(), FindExt(GetExtension(filename_))); if (it == formats.end()) { // Unable to ascertain anything about this file! return string(); } return it->name(); }
