Visto che è in italiano io metterei "ebraico" al posto di "Ebreo" e penso
anche "arabo" al posto di "Arabico".
Ciao.

You're welcome!
I probably incurred in a double installation of MiKTeX (Administrator and
User), when I ran MiKTeX update as administrator it doesn't update things
loaded as user (or something like that, I'm not an expert).
Recently I had a problem with a not-updated version of a package, which
instead I thought to be updated since I had run MiKTeK update.
To solve that I uninstalled the multi-user and installed the one-user
version of MiKTeK, after that also the problem with LyX was solved.
At the end of the day, the problem was in my MiKTeX installation, non in
LyX.
Thank you for your interest.
Ciao!

Just for info: I've uninstalled and reinstalled MiKTeX and now everything
is working correctly.

How to use \tikzexternalize storing the files in a user's dir and not in a LyX temp dir?

[CarLaTeX]

I'm working with LyX 2.2.0, Windows 10 and MiKTeX 2.9 distibution.

If I write in my preamble:
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{external}
\tikzexternalize[prefix={Figures/}]
all works well, but the externalized files are stored in a LyX temp dir,
hence I loose them when I close LyX (you use \tikzexternalize also to save
time, if you loose the figures, time is not saved).

If I write:
\tikzexternalize[prefix={"C:/Users/MyName
MySurname/Documents/LaTeX/Figures/"}]
I get the error:
! I can't write on file `"C:/Users/MyName
MySurname/Documents/LaTeX/Figures/MyDoc-figure0.md5"'.

I've already written to lyx-users, but without success.
I've also posted a question on TEX SE, they told me the solution is to set
MIKTEX_ALLOWUNSAFEOUTPUTFILES=1 but this is dangerous:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/319721/tikz-externalization-with-absolute-path-and-miktex-distribution

Is there an alternative?
Thank you!

After having upgraded to LyX 2.2.0, could it be useful to have also LyX 2.1.5?

[CarLaTeX]

If have already upgraded to LyX 2.2.0 on Windows 10 but I still have also
LyX 2.1.4 on my pc.

Could it be useful to upgrade my 2.1.4 to 2.1.5? For example, in case of
errors in 2.2.0, just to compare the behaviour in 2.1.5?
Or is it unadvisable?

Thank you, bye!

I've run a MikTeX update meanwhile.

The exact sequence of what i've done is:
- install LyX 2.2.0
(after some days)
- run MiKTeX update
- reconfigure LyX 2.2.0
