You know what would be great instead of a lyx compressed file? A
portable lyx format. Quite frankly I don't see much the interest of
having the lyx text file compressed as it is alreday quite small even
for very big file. IMHO, a "portable lyx file" that would contains
everything necessary for this file (including include files and
graphics) would be much more convenient.
Say I have a "test.lyx" file, I envision a python script that would
analyze the lyx file and copy any reference inside a "test/"
sub-directory at the same level as "test.lyx", then the script would
compress this directory (with zip) into a "test.plyx" file. If rename to
"test.zip" and uncompressed you will find:
That won't work, the .lyx file might reference other files not under the
test directory. It is easy to do from within LyX, just use the ExportData
class.
?? I mean that the exporter will copy those files inside the test
directory before zipping it.
This is similar with the open document format. The difference is that we
should not work with the compressed file but make it a export/import
file format (the same as pdf).
I would pay for this kind of feature...
See http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700. It was requested several
times, and it should be fairly easy to implement.
Indeed this seems to be a very old request. And I thought I was the one
that comes with a new clever idea :-(
Thanks for the link.
