- names like "Flex:Noun" (where "Flex" is a namespace that is optional).
- When LyX 2.0 reads older files, it silently converts the old-style names
- to new-style names; this direction works perfectly. It will also silently
- revert new-style names to old-style names, when exporting to 1.6.x format,
- but only for the pre-defined LyX insets. This means that user-defined flex
- insets will not be properly reverted.
- To solve this problem, you can modify the file $LYXDIR/lyx2lyx/lyx_2_0.py.
- In that file, you will find the following:
