     Fix bug #9554: When we save a file that was not originally in the current
     LyX format, create a backup of the original file. We put it in the backup
     directory, if one exists, otherwise in the directory the original file is
     in. This is the same strategy as for normal backups. Basically, the only
     diferences are: (i) what name we use and (ii) we do not over-write any
     backups that may already exist.



I just found a file "varwidth-floats-side-by-side-499.lyx" at the root
of my build directory (from where I usually run src/lyx). According to
what I had understood this should have been in lib/examples/, where the
original file varwidth-floats-side-by-side.lyx has always been, instead.

I would have expected the same.

My backup dir is set to "". Is there a risk that we are going to pollute
all the users ~/ dir with alpha?

We can wait for a reply before releasing alpha.


Not that I incite to delay alpha

I see. I misunderstood then. In that case I will proceed because having
extra backups floating around is not a horrible bug for an alpha I
think.

Given that this can possibly confuse many users (and give bad publicity to an useful feature), with the alpha tag I was hoping to encourage a quick reply if possible and some quick fix if trivial. This did not happen in the very short time frame so now don't hesitate to proceed.

We could mention it in a "known issues" section of the release notes or of the wiki, alongside #9362 "Lyx suddenly gets keyboard keys wrong, and deadlocks".
