Would be nice to get this one into the master tree.

Is it polished? Is there a trac ticket for this one? Or an archived
discussion?

If I remember correctly, this is the idea that LyX might as well try to
open files from future LyX versions, if the author accepts the
consequences. Is that right? If so, I think I will be hesitant to accept
this one at this point. I think it will need discussion and will need to
consider several possible situations. But if you feel strongly about it,
continue the discussion on lyx-devel. Who knows---maybe I'm wrong and we
could arrive at a consensus soon enough to put it in before the freeze.

I tried it, just found a minor unexpected behavior that I reported in
the thread.

Yes probably we should hold off on that one.

Tommaso, I'm still curious if you are planning to implement the gnuplot
patch for 2.3.0? Or perhaps you already did and I missed it?

The reason I ask is that time is running out to get features into 2.3.0
before we should focus completely on bug fixes.


I had it in my own tommaso/master branch, rebased up to last summer 
(LinuxDay@Pisa).

I thought it was late, but as you're asking, I took the chance to rebase the 
patch (trivial), check it's still working as expected, and push [1].

I wish someone else could try it out, in case you're short of gnuplot scripts, you can use 
the attached sample. Just run LyX, and do "Insert->Graphics...", then choose 
the .gp file, then enjoy the plot preview on screen, as well as in the PDF formatted output.

Thx,

T.
