I want to open a lyx file using lyx version 2.0.5 on Ubuntu 11.04.
This file was created using lyx version 2.1.0-1 on Ubuntu 14.04. When
I try to open the file I get and error message saying that the file
is from a new version of Lyx and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert
it.
Is it possible to open the file using the older version of lyx?
I just change the \lyxformat specifier using a text editor and it
usually will work. just open your .lyx file and make the change to
see if it will open.
This is not a good idea. In an emergency, I suppose it's worth trying,
but there is a reason the format number changes. With Lyx 2.1.x files,
for example, if you use any of what used to be called "Short Title"
insets, you will get errors.
