Well, the file is about 5 years old, and I haven't tried to compile it since, so the problem may actually be there quite a long time... > > looking on the commit history this line has been introduced by Herbert > http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/3881 > and the only interesting change was made by > http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/5238 > both 6 years back, so i'm not sure what you mean by new version :) > > but may be lyx2lyx do some nasty thing or detection of file_exists changed. Yeah, I think it is the latter. In changeset/3881 the detection is: (IsFileReadable(MakeAbsPath(params().filename, buf->filePath())) while now it is: isFileReadable(params().filename); So it is checked by a different function, (lowercase is* in place of uppercase Is*). So I guess that some detection (perhaps related to missing "MakeAbsPath") is not being done. Before I go further in investigating this I would like to know if there is a general agreement whether files on latex paths (kpsewhich) should or should not be visible to LyX. Vasek
