That I can agree with. :-) Honestly the only place where this could give us problem is on windows (I really hate their file association mechanism, I use some .mat files that were matlab/octave data format files and windows associated that with access, grrr). Since the current practice did not lead to any complaint, that I remember, than I think that we are safe and we could go with it. > - if we use a prefix to avoid ambiguity with export, use either > lyx21.lyx~ or fmt123.lyx~. Actually I also agree with you fmt123 is a better suffix than format-123. In this case just for consistency sake. My opinion here is that I would to have a symmetry break between export and backup, they serve different purposes and so there is a justification for a different name scheme. > JMarc > > PS: Do you like my proposed colors for the bikeshed? Actually I do, and also it seems that we are the only persons that care about that particular issue. :-) -- José Abílio
