Conversion of fig inset fails

[michael.gerz@…]

LyX2LyX fails to convert the attached LyX doc (created by reLyX):

Traceback (most recent call last):

The test case (LyX doc)

[levon]

can you generate one from an older version of lyx itself ?

[michael.gerz@…]

I don't have old LyX documents. However, I tested the very first version
of UserGuide.lyx taken from the CVS repository.

It is also in the 2.15 format (the one generated by reLyX) but it does not
have the problem.

[michael.gerz@…]

Have a look at an old version of the user guide:

\begin_inset Figure size 367 158
file mobius.eps
flags 5

This is what reLyX creates:

\begin_inset Figure
file hiho.eps
flags 9

You see the difference? The "size" specification is missing!

I don't know whether this is a reLyX bug but we can easily modify the
lyx2lyx script to handle missing size specifications.

In lyxconvert_218.py, replace lines 382/383 by the following if-else construct:

if ( len(string.split(lines[i])) > 2 ):

lyxwidth = string.split(lines[i])[3]+"pt"
lyxheight = string.split(lines[i])[4]+"pt"

else:

lyxwidth = ""
lyxheight = ""

This seems to fix the bug!

I have commited Michael's bugfix and I will close the bug.
