I have thought of those solutions
As far as the original question is concerned---whether to allow
selection of local layout files---it seems to me that there are
potential problems here. Suppose the user creates a new file and selects
a local layout. Then she reopens the file, and LyX complains that the
local layout isn't t

The only feature I want for lyx 1.7.0 is a layout composer, but nobody

altogether and embed .layout to .lyx
The implementation is actually quite easy. The attached patch simply
load the layout file, add it to the style combo box (if needed), and
apply the layout.

Hi,
With the mechanism of using a local layout file in place, it is silly
to only allow opening, but not creating, a .lyx file with local layout
file. I am working on a patch that adds a browse button to the right
of the layout combobox in document->settings. Please speak up if you
have reasons to
