One can use a stripped down version of prepareFile to compute the name, but one can't simplify much the part that does the conversion, because "does the conversion" actually means copying one or two files and/or unzipping a file and/or convert a file. So the conversion routine would do almost the same that prepareFile does now and be as ugly as well. > Georg> The external inset is similar.

Closer examination of the consequences showed that I would have to change a lot if I were to go this way. E. g. makeLaTeXFile is called by BufferList::updateIncludedTeXfiles (why is that needed? InsetInclude::latex calls makeLaTeXFile for the child, this should IMHO be enough). So I decided to go the easy way and create the list of referenced files in latex() and not validate(). Georg
