Automate upgrade in TeX files

[thirs]

When yade is updated to a new version, the TeX package yade.sty sometimes changes, making all diagrams of old TeX files obsolete.
The burden may be mitigated if yade could re-generate all diagrams of a given TeX file, on demand.

Good idea! This is partially implemented already, in case the tex diagrams are saved in external files: if the editor detects that those tex files do not exist, then it regenerates them

Ok. I prefer to keep diagrams in the main TeX file, mostly in order to be able to search and replace in one go.
(The cluttering problem may be mitigated by folding all tikzpicture environments by default...)
