Thanks, that works for me. But I am not sure your argument holds.
Firstly, IMO a .lyx file is a machine controlled file format which should probably not be edited by hand. At least that is what I think naive users should never do. But it is diff/merge friendly, except for the line endings. Secondly, _if_ a user is comfortable with opening and changing the file with text editors, I as a user expect the text editor to not change the line endings again. So LyX probably should not either. Thirdly, if I save the document now under Linux, my Windows users still have problems with Notepad. Conversely if LyX would preserve the line endings (or make it an option), then a document _created_ on Windows would choose CR+LF as default for this document. Therefore even when Linux users work with it, it would stay editable in Notepad. I would rate the current behaviour as worse than having a per document setting for line endings that defaults to the native line ending format. But you showed me a working solution, so I wont complain anymore :) Thank you for your time and your help! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003419 Title: Lyx does not preserve DOS/Unix line endings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/1003419/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
