> So I could go either way. The only advantage of using another file extension such as .lyb is to tell users immediately if a file is in a bundled format. However, because of the existence of compressed .lyx file, it does not help to decide if it is safe to svn or view a .lyx file. Also, there are problems with using another extension:
1. I want to save to the same file if I disable/enable embedding. (File->Open, Enable Embedding, File -> Save becomes Save As). 2. In case that there is no embedded file, .lyx file will *not* be saved in a bundled format even if embedding is enabled. That is to say, it is not trivial to tell in advance which file format will be used. Cheers, Bo
