A few months ago I posted about this problem: sadly I got no reply. :(
Even more sadly, I have not been to solve the issue!
So I am still forced to export my lyx file to a tex file and compile
it running "pdflatex -shell-escape" to update pictures, before being
able to go on with my work in Lyx.
I really don't understand why Lyx doesn't behave like it is intended,
since I ticked the right option and this is driving me crazy!
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

PS: if needed I can provide a MWE (but I don't know how to provide it:
can I attach a file?)

Hi,
I have a document which uses the external library of tikz, so I
need shell escape.
I have lyx 2.3.6 so I enabled shell escape via
Document->Settings->Formats and check "Allow running of external
programs."
Nevertheless, when I run pdflatex, I get this error:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
! I can't write on file `myfile_figure0.md5'.
<to be read again>
\relax
l.320 \end{tikzpicture}
(Press Enter to retry, or Control-D to exit; default file
extension is `.tex')
Please type another output file name
! Emergency stop.
<to be read again>
\relax
l.320 \end{tikzpicture}
*** (job aborted, file error in nonstop mode)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Am I missing something?
BTW, if I export my lyx file to a latex file and I compile it
(with pdflatex --shell-escape), it compiles smoothly.
Thank you
The error message is very strange. File extension MD5 usually means a
checksum file, used to verify the legitimacy of a download, so I can't
imagine why LyX or pdflatex would be trying to write it.
As for an MWE, yes, you can attach a file to an email to the list. It
would help to sort things out.
