And why should them be read if they are newer? It was me who motivated Lars to do this change. The argument is simple, every knowledge about the lyx file format should go into lyx2lyx. > Lars, was that intended or only a side effect?

I would prefer this solution. After all how do you decide the file is newer? Knowing the format of every file header? But then this is exactly the reason why lyx2lyx was created in first place, to relieve lyx from knowing every possible lyx format.... > Georg -- José Abílio
