Caution: This converts to the latest version known by lyx2lyx. If you copy the 2.1 lyx2lyx into the 2.0 installation as suggested elsewhere (which works without further adjustments, and is probably the most easy way to deal with files in the new format), you always have to give the -t 413 arguments if you want to convert to 2.0.x format. Otherwise the command above would convert to format 464 (the current 2.1 format number). > By the way, is there any idea when the 2.1 version will be official? No. The development man power is very limited, and so far there is no release plan, although it seems to be consensus to stop with new features and concentrate on the release. Georg
