Thas was not my work. I should tell you that I was also surprised with this behaviour. :-) > I also think this is wrecking havoc with compressed files. > > IMHO lyx2lyx should take one file and create another, and return the > name of the converted file. If you notice the lyx2lyx help you will see that it is possible to to specify the output file. BTW lyx2lyx is a filter, why should it return the name of the output file? When was the last time that you saw awk, sed, grep, ... returning the name of the output file. BTW the proper syntax is: lyx2lyx -o outfile.lyx > -- > Lgb -- José Abílio Matos LyX and docbook a perfect match. :-)
