Hello,
I've been trying to use biblatex in LYX with the Jabref interface for
citations on Mac OSX Lion. I have followed all of the instructions I've been
able to find online, and have gotten it to the point where, if I export plain
latex from LYX and compile that, run biber, then recompile, I have exactly
what I want.
For whatever reason, I can't achieve this through the lyx interface. The lyx log
indicates that lyx IS running biber, and I looked inside of the temporary folder
lyx is using and found that a ".bcf" file is created.
In fact, copying my ".bib" file into the temporary directory and running biber
there enables lyx to produce the correct output, but this is tedious to do each
time.
Even better, all I need for a relatively permanent fix is to copy my .bib file
into the LYX temporary directory:
/private/var/folders/s3/477kfcjd2zq_0mxfxpcrbznr0000gn/T/lyx_tmpdir.L14372/
/lyx_tmpbuf2
Once that is done, lyx can produce the correct output with no further
intervention. Is there any way I can get lyx to do this for me, or tell it to
properly point biber towards the file?
I am running biber v0.9.9 and lyx 2.0.6
Here is a snippet from the lyx log file that deals with biber.

Thanks, Aleksey
P.S. pardon the linebreaks, gmane insisted on 80 char limit per line.
