Re: Lyx -> LaTeX backward (IN-)compaitbilty

[Jens Noeckel]

I've just added another (and not reported earlier, I believe) bug  
related to the latex export, when done from the command line. It  
causes irreversible loss of existing EPS files. I'm not saying that  
it's useless to have such an additional functionality, but I think  
given the pros and cons it's a reasonable request to put the  
original latex export back, to let the user say to LyX: "please  
don't touch my image files, nor the way they are included in my  
document. I can take care of that myself, thank you."

I would call the current "plain latex" export something like "latex  
+ EPS" to make it clear what's really going on, and keep "plain  
latex" or "latex" reserved for latex-only export.

BTW, that bug is 2762: "LyX -> LaTeX export autonomously overwrites  
existing EPS files"
