Dear all,
I am meeting some strange problems: When I try to import a XETEX latex file to 
Lyx, Lyx replaces my original tex file with a copy that it seems to reconvert 
following a rather strange chain of conversion. Checking my configuration for 
the converters, I saw that there is none for Xetex latex to Lyx and Lyx uses 
the converters I have created using Pandoc for Xelatex to Markdown. 
But, seeing this I have now included a new converter XETEX Latex to Lyx through 
tex2lyx and with the command:

/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/tex2lyx -f $$i $$o

but Lyx continues to use the MD chain and overwrite my original latex file. Is 
this the correct way to handle this conversion?

I have not found any way to recover the destroyed file; there is not a backup 
copy either.

Fortunately, this is a small file that I can rewrite, but it is very worrying 
that this process is destructive. I will need to activate version control to 
limit such damaging operations. :-(

How is this possible? why Lyx does not make any backup copy before starting the 
conversion in case something goes wrong, like in my case.

Best regards,

Murat
