The fact that LyX 1.4 can't read all 1.3 layout files will annoy users with customized layout files. Since the differences are small I hacked together a little converter. It will convert 1.3 layout files to 1.4 format. Usage:
python layout2layout.py old.layout new.layout or as a filter: python layout2layout.py <old.layout >new.layout I'd like to see this integrated in 1.4.0: Either call it at configure time and convert all layout files permanently, or call it from LyXTextClass::Read() if a layout file is too old. For the latter we should probably add version information to the layout files. Comments? Georg
layout2layout.py
