Dear All, I would like to ask you about document comparison. How can I compare two .lyx document to see the changes between them? It would be quite nice for updating translations.(since thange tracking is disabled for this.)
A few month ago I've set-up a local svn on my linux box to store both the english version and the localised version of the lyx docs. Thus, I can translate only one file free from any changes. When I finish, I can compare my old english file to the actual one to see what was changed and correct it in the localised one. I do it in the following way: 1. export both "english".lyx file to txt by ps2txt (since it almost handles one line per paragraph) 2. compare them with krusaider's diff command (File->compare by content) 3. modification of "hungarian".lyx Earlier, I compared the files without converting to txt, so I had to fight with the .lyx file format. Drawbacks: - The diff will see much more changes than there are. Other diffs are similar. - Unfortunately, the one line per pharagraph is not always the case, so some tweaks would be nice One new feature, that I think would be nice: - compare two lyx file and show one with all the changes and let the user to choose what to keep. (Like: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1897) Can you offer an other or better solution? Alex
