i was already thinking about better handling the errors from ip. this would be nice next usecase. http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6720 another idea would be to detect proper route before entering compilation. two possible solutions i see are not easy though - from content of ERT (ugh) or with introducing some "needps" flag for convertor - but thats not much compatible with with the way we introduced ip inset. pavel
