Hey list, I brought this up on a different occasion but it seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle.
The idea is that if I have a mydoc.lyx file in a directory and I also have a mydoc.tex or mydoc.txt or whatever other importable format, when I do import mydoc.tex, my mydoc.lyx gets wiped out automatically. Now if the import is mangled up or of there is any other problem I just lost my lyx file. What I was going to request is that lyx imports it but does not actually overwrite the mydoc.lyx until I actually hit save, or maybe perhaps lets me know, "Hey, dude, I'm just about to overwrite a file, are you cool with that?" Question is, should I put this up on bugzilla as a feature request or something? Or is there some hidden subtle rationale why importing works like this that I can't think of? Cos I came damn close one time to losing my document because of a bad import and I came damn close to being very upset about that. On that occasion I had exported to latex and then reimported. And let me tell ya', it didn't work so hot. Alex.
