It would be kept in memory (the same what happens if you create a new file with File->New). Why? Because users are forced to think about a name for the converted document. I have found myself several times in the situation where I accidentally destroyed the original .tex file by Export->Latex. > But anyway if you also like 1) and 2) perhaps we should implement it in > future LyX versions. > > > Besides that: What happens with master/child documents? > > I've never used master/child documents. Ok, if you do that you will notice that tex2lyx will also convert the child documents. This will complicate things if we implement the behaviour above. Georg
