First: the compressed feature is done in such a way that inside lyx the user
should not care if the file is compressed or not. The same should happen for
embedded files.
I agree.
Second: people who write scripts to modify should know better. :-)
We should, if necessary, start a repository of simple scripts to manipulate
lyx files that takes into account the new complexities.
For sh we could write functions, after I become quite surprised with some of
things that can be done like text completion that this seems a trivial task
in comparison.
Under Linux you could certainly run: file somefile.lyx, and see what you
get back. Viz:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ file ~/files/papers/WhatIsComp.lyx
/home/rgheck/files/papers/WhatIsComp.lyx: \012- TeX document text
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ file WhatIsComp.lyx
WhatIsComp.lyx: gzip compressed data, from Unix
To be fair I am not sure if the above example is generic or if it only works
with bash, but sure is nice to write ssh lyx and then pressing TAB get the
remaining address. :-)
How'd you get that working? I know there are shells other than bash that
have really good text completion, but I haven't used them.
