It's not uncommon for me to re-arrange .lyx documents by moving or

through the document (which might contain many figures, 52 in today's
document) and manually change the settings to point to the proper
location.
Is there a way to do this with a single command, similar to a global
search-and-replace? If so, please point me to the appropriate doc.

Rich,
The .lyx file is text, so you could use something like sed, or open it
in a text editor and do a global S&R.
FWIW, I typically uses relative paths to figures. On something I'm
working on now, there's an "images" subfolder in its home folder, and so
figures refer to "images/<filename>". As long as I keep the images
folder together with the document in a move, I shouldn't need to update
anything.
